Arthropod moulting hormones (ecdysteroids) are present in the blood of insectivorous bats
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ecdysteroids are steroid hormones involved in moulting and development of arthropods. Blood samples 32 individual bats eight insectivorous species were analysed for the presence ecdysteroids, using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. Nine ecdysteroids detected. The spectrum these was similar bat which take their preferred food items from same insect order. blood-borne broader autumn than summer, higher concentrations 20-hydroxyecdysone (the most common ecdysteroid) occurred large small ones. may have anabolic effects on also affect blood-feeding arthropod parasites.

Effects and applications of arthropod steroid hormones (ecdysteroids) in mammals.
Zooecdysteroids (arthropod steroid hormones) regulate the development of arthropods and probably many other invertebrates. Phytoecdysteroids are analogues occurring in a wide range of plant species, where they contribute to the deterrence of phytophagous invertebrates. The purpose of this short review is to summarise findings on the occurrence, metabolism and pharmacological effects of ecdyster...
متن کاملNovel astroviruses in insectivorous bats.
Bats are increasingly recognized to harbor a wide range of viruses, and in most instances these viruses appear to establish long-term persistence in these animals. They are the reservoir of a number of human zoonotic diseases including Nipah, Ebola, and severe acute respiratory syndrome. We report the identification of novel groups of astroviruses in apparently healthy insectivorous bats found ...
متن کاملAn unexpected advantage of insectivorism: insect moulting hormones ingested by song birds affect their ticks.
Ecdysteroids are important hormones that regulate moulting in arthropods. Three-host ixodid ticks normally moult to the next stage after finishing their blood meal, in the off-host environment. Presumably, three-host ticks that feed on the blood of insectivorous vertebrate hosts can be exposed to high levels of exogenous ecdysteroids causing them to initiate apolysis (the first step of moulting...

متن کاملStudies on the Pathogenesis of Rabies in Insectivorous Bats
Studies on the pathogenesis of rabies in two species of experimentally infected insectivorous Chiroptera, the Mexican free-tailed bat (Tadarida mexicana), a quasi hibernator, and the little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus), a deep hibernator, provided evidence that brown adipose tissue may serve as an extraneural site for storage and multiplication of rabies virus. Although the Mexican free-tailed ...
