A lysozyme-like protein in the salivary glands of adult Aedes aegypti : functional and biochemical characteristics

Creator:

Pimentel, Gliceria Estandian, 1958-

Abstract:

This study investigated some functional and biochemical characteristics of a bacteriolytic protein in the salivary glands of adult Aedes aecupti. A method for the isolation of this protein from other mosquito salivary gland components is also described. Based on some of its biochemical properties, this bacteriolytic protein can be classified...

Antibacterial activities in the salivary glands of female mosquitoes Aedes aegypti

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...

Evaluation of responses to selection and association among specific traits in three populations of swine

Creator:

Smith, Edward J. M. S.

Abstract:

Oregon State University swine herd records of 456 litters farrowed between 1962-73 in three populations were analyzed on a generation basis to compare changes in performance of a Composite population to parental Berkshire and Yorkshire breeds. Analysis was performed in six discrete and overlapping generations on backfat thickness, loin eye...
