Circadian Consequence of Socio-Sexual Interactions in Fruit Flies Drosophila melanogaster
In fruit flies Drosophila melanogaster, courtship is an elaborate ritual comprising chasing, dancing and singing by males to lure females for mating. Courtship interactions peak in the night and heterosexual couples display enhanced nighttime activity. What we do not know is if such socio-sexual interactions (SSI) leave long-lasting after-effects on circadian clock(s). Here we report the result...
متن کاملDifferential Microbial Diversity in Drosophila melanogaster: Are Fruit Flies Potential Vectors of Opportunistic Pathogens?
Drosophila melanogaster has become a model system to study interactions between innate immunity and microbial pathogens, yet many aspects regarding its microbial community and interactions with pathogens remain unclear. In this study wild D. melanogaster were collected from tropical fruits in Puerto Rico to test how the microbiota is distributed and to compare the culturable diversity of fungi ...
متن کاملOccupational allergy in strawberry greenhouse workers.
BACKGROUND Employees in strawberry greenhouses are highly exposed to several (potential) allergenic agents. However, no occupational allergy in this branch has been described before. First, the presence of work-related allergic symptoms in strawberry workers was explored. Second, we aimed to prove the concept that an IgE-mediated allergy could be responsible for work-related symptoms. To test t...
متن کاملNatural rubber latex allergy: occupational exposure to latex glove among clinical laboratory workers.
Occupational exposure to various environmental factors usually produces serious health problems among the employees all over the world. Allergy is an important cause of work related i l lness. During 1980s and 90s allergy to Natural Rubber Latex(NRL),which contain a complex blend of water soluble plant proteinshas become a major source of concern in clinical science (1). Latex is ubiquitous in ...
متن کاملObject preference by walking fruit flies, Drosophila melanogaster, is mediated by vision and graviperception.
Walking fruit flies, Drosophila melanogaster, use visual information to orient towards salient objects in their environment, presumably as a search strategy for finding food, shelter or other resources. Less is known, however, about the role of vision or other sensory modalities such as mechanoreception in the evaluation of objects once they have been reached. To study the role of vision and me...
