Increasing parasitic diseases in Japan.
Parasitoses are a large group of infectious diseases with diverse host assemblages and transmission patterns. In Japan, after World War II, the nationwide campaign which was enforced by the new public health knowledge against parasitic diseases successfully controlled the classical soiltransmitted parasitoses such as ascariasis, trichuriasis and hookworm diseases. Some other diseases such as do...

two fish. In the wild, kittiwakes have to learn to look for particular colours and patterns in the ocean to find the best place to fish. The researchers tried to recreate this for the captive birds by making them search for their food among a chequerboard of different coloured bowls. Chicks on the unrestricted fatty diet quickly learned which bowls contained food, but chicks on lean rations wer...
متن کاملAntimicrobial peptides in Echinoderms
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are important immune effector molecules for invertebrates, including echinoderms, which lack a vertebrate-type adaptive immune system. Here we summarize the knowledge of such peptides in echinoderms. Strongylocins are a novel family of cysteine-rich AMPs, recently identified in the sea urchins, Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis and S. purpuratus. Although these mol...
متن کاملImmune phenomena in echinoderms.
Advances in biochemistry and molecular biology have made it possible to identify a number of mechanisms active in the immune phenomena of echinoderms. It is obvious that echinoderms have the ability to distinguish between different foreign objects (pathologically changed tissues, microorganisms, parasites, grafts) and to express variable effector mechanisms which are elicited specifically and r...
متن کاملCurrent status of food-borne parasitic zoonoses in Japan.
Epidemiological data on food-borne parasitic zoonoses in Japan is obscure because of the lack of legislated registration system for the incidence of such diseases. Attempts were made to draw rough estimates of the current status of food-borne parasitic diseases in Japan by gathering the annual incidence of each disease by literal survey and personal communications. In addition, parasitic diseas...
