Creator:: Shieh, Jong-Neng
Abstract:: I tested a theoretical model proposing that anemia favors transmission of blood-borne parasites to vectors by accelerating the blood-feeding rate. Using Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, initially, I was not able to confirm this phenomenon either in an artificial or a live system; anemia did not correlate with blood-feeding...

Creator:: Deng, Lanqian
Abstract:: Antibacterial activities in the salivary glands of female mosquitoes Aedes aegypti were investigated in this study. The mean salivary bacteriolytic activity, during a period of 14-day of female mosquitoes exposed to five different concentrations of Gram-positive bacteria Micrococcus lysodeikticus in the sucrose meal, was detected by a lysoplate method. A...

Creator:: Morris, A. Kimo
Abstract:: Calow (1983) realized that differences between parasites and their free-living relatives can be explained by the differences in nutrient richness. I propose a model that is based on Calow's idea which identifies the relative position of different trophic strategies (e.g. predation, grazing, parasitism and others) based on (1) the differences...

Creator:: Duran, Israel N.
Abstract:: Elton (1927) realized that, intuitively at least, nature was complex and stable. And that the last property contributed to the first. This idea was challenged mathematically by Gardner and Ashby (1970) and May (1972), and in the years following various models have attempted to reconcile these opposing views. Unlike previous...

Creator:: England, David B.
Abstract:: Entomological evidence can be used for estimating post mortem interval (PMI). Decomposition studies have been conducted throughout the world and these studies have demonstrated that insect succession generally follows a similar pattern at a taxonomic level, specifically family, but varies at the genus and species levels with respect to geographic...

Creator:: Ray, R. Adam
Abstract:: The myxozoan parasite, Ceratomyxa shasta, is the most significant pathogen of juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Klamath River, CA, USA. This parasite requires two hosts - a freshwater polychaete (Manayunkia speciosa) and a salmonid - to complete its life cycle. The complex life cycle and large geographic area...
