De Novo Transcriptome of the Hemimetabolous German Cockroach (Blattella germanica)
BACKGROUND The German cockroach, Blattella germanica, is an important insect pest that transmits various pathogens mechanically and causes severe allergic diseases. This insect has long served as a model system for studies of insect biology, physiology and ecology. However, the lack of genome or transcriptome information heavily hinder our further understanding about the German cockroach in eve...
متن کاملCharacterization of a new densovirus infecting the German cockroach, Blattella germanica.
A new DNA virus (Parvoviridae: Densovirinae, Densovirus) was isolated and purified from descendants of field-collected German cockroaches, Blattella germanica. Viral DNA and cockroach tissues infected with B. germanica densovirus (BgDNV) were examined by electron microscopy. Virus particles, about 20 nm in diameter, were observed both in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm of infected cells. Virus...
متن کاملRole of feeding in the reproductive 'group effect' in females of the German cockroach Blattella germanica (L.).
We have found that whether a female German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.), is kept alone or in the presence of another female has a major impact on how fast it reproduces and how much it eats. By the sixth day of adulthood, females paired since adult eclosion had substantially larger oöcytes than did females isolated during the same time, and females paired with intact females, or with one...
متن کاملInduction of IgE antibody responses by glutathione S-transferase from the German cockroach (Blattella germanica).
We report that a major 23-kDa allergen from German cockroach (Blattella germanica) is a glutathione S-transferase (EC 2.5.1.18; GST). Natural B. germanica GST, purified from cockroach body extracts by glutathione affinity chromatography, and recombinant protein expressed in Escherichia coli using the pET21a vector, showed excellent IgE antibody binding activity. B. germanica GST caused positive...
متن کاملEffects of foraging distance on macronutrient balancing and performance in the German cockroach Blattella germanica.
The German cockroach (Blattella germanica) is an excellent model omnivore for studying the effect of foraging effort on nutrient balancing behavior and physiology, and its consequences for performance. We investigated the effect of foraging distance on individual German cockroaches by providing two foods differing in protein-to-carbohydrate ratio at opposite ends of long containers or adjacent ...
