Creator:: Muniz, Juan Fermin
Abstract:: Pesticides are among the most pervasive environmental contaminants and they are an important potential risk for human health. Agricultural workers are constantly exposed to pesticide spray, drift and residues in the soil and foliage. Many agricultural pesticides are readily absorbed by the body, through contact with the skin, the respiratory...

Creator:: Gervasi, Stephanie S.
Abstract:: Emerging infectious diseases are increasing globally and are a threat to human, wildlife, and ecosystem health. The emerging fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), or amphibian chytrid fungus, is associated with worldwide amphibian population declines and extinctions. Bd has been found on every continent where amphibians exist and has been documented...

Creator:: Peterson, Tracy Shawn
Abstract:: Mycobacteriosis is a common disease of laboratory zebrafish (Danio rerio). Different infection patterns occur in zebrafish depending on mycobacterial species. Mycobacterium marinum and M. haemophilum produce virulent infections associated with high mortality, whereas M. chelonae is more wide spread and not associated with high mortality. Identification of mycobacterial infections to...

Creator:: Tilton, Susan C.
Abstract:: Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM), a primary I3C derivative in vivo, are known chemopreventive agents available as dietary supplements. I3C was found to suppress or enhance tumors in several animal models. Chemoprotection is attributed to the ability of indoles to alter carcinogen metabolism effectively blocking initiation. However, mechanisms for enhancement...

Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with a molecular weight (MW) of 302 and oxygenated-PAHs (OPAHs) have demonstrated toxicity beyond that of frequently monitored and known carcinogenic PAHs. Airborne particulate matter (PM) was characterized for MW 302 isomers to evaluate risk and air quality indices and OPAHs in order to fill data...

Creator:: Hauck, Laura L.
Abstract:: Cnidarians, such as anemones and corals, engage in an intracellular symbiosis with photosynthetic dinoflagellates. Corals form both the trophic and structural foundation of reef ecosystems. Despite their environmental importance, little is known about the molecular basis of this symbiosis. In this dissertation we explored the cnidariandinoflagellate symbiosis from two perspectives:...

Creator:: Castillo, Gonzalo C.
Abstract:: The extent of biological invasions, their role on the feeding of native fishes and their impact on community stability were investigated in Alsea Bay and Yaquina Bay, two estuaries on the central Oregon coast, USA. Most nonindigenous species (NIS) introduced in these intermediately invaded estuaries are considered byproducts of culturing...
