Salinity change impairs pipefish immune defence.
Global change is associated with fast and severe alterations of environmental conditions. Superimposed onto existing salinity variations in a semi-enclosed brackish water body such as the Baltic Sea, a decrease in salinity is predicted due to increased precipitation and freshwater inflow. Moreover, we predict that heavy precipitation events will accentuate salinity fluctuations near shore. Here...
متن کاملInnate Immune Defence to
Campylobacter jejuni is the most prevalent cause of bacterial diarrhoea worldwide and is frequently associated with severe post-infectious complications such as the GuillainBarre syndrome. Despite the serious health burden caused by the bacterium disease pathogenesis remains ill defined. Human (3-defensins (hBDs), a family of epithelial antimicrobial peptides, are a major component of host inna...
متن کاملInnate Immune Defence to Helicobacter pylori
Helicobacter pylori exhibits tropism for the human stomach causing a spectrum of complications ranging from gastritis to gastric cancer in susceptible individuals. The mechanism(s) that allow the bacteria to persist and cause disease are unfolding, p-defensins are a family of endogenous, epithelial anti-microbial peptides that engage in host defense most prominently at mucosal surfaces. We and ...
متن کاملImmune defence under extreme ambient temperature.
Owing to global climate change, the extreme weather conditions are predicted to become more frequent, which is suggested to have an even greater impact on ecological interactions than the gradual increase in average temperatures. Here, we examined whether exposure to high ambient temperature affects immune function of the great pond snail (Lymnaea stagnalis). We quantified the levels of several...
متن کاملAgeing, defence mechanisms and the immune system.
Of all the systems in the body, the immune system is probably the best understood, both in mechanistic terms and in the ways in which it changes during ageing. Studies of the ageing immune system (immuno gerontology) can be traced back to the early part of this century (and even earlier), and the literature has burgeoned in the last three decades. Perhaps the first publication was of the invest...
