Sensitization to king scallop (Pectin maximus) and queen scallop (Chlamys opercularis) proteins.
OBJECTIVE To report a case of occupational asthma and urticaria due to the queen scallop (Chlamys opercularis) and king scallop (Pectin maximus). BACKGROUND A 40-year-old female worked in a shellfish-processing plant, handling king and queen scallops for 5 years. At the time of investigation, she described a 2-year history of work-related respiratory symptoms. METHODS Serial peak expiratory...
متن کاملPreviously unknown apicomplexan species infecting Iceland scallop, Chlamys islandica (Müller, 1776), queen scallop, Aequipecten opercularis L., and king scallop, Pecten maximus L.
Examination of three scallop species from three separate locations: Iceland scallop from Icelandic waters, king scallop from Scottish waters and queen scallop from Faroese and Scottish waters, revealed infections of a previously unknown apicomplexan parasite in all three scallop species. Developmental forms observed in the shells appeared to include both sexual and asexual stages of the parasit...
متن کاملDelineation of Pb contamination pathways in two Pectinidae: the variegated scallop Chlamys varia and the king scallop Pecten maximus.
Bioaccumulation of Pb was determined in Chlamys varia and Pecten maximus exposed to (210)Pb via seawater, food and sediment. Both scallops readily concentrated dissolved Pb with whole-body 7-d concentration factors of 250+/-40 and 170+/-70, respectively. In both species, more than 70% of Pb taken up from seawater was strongly retained within tissues (biological half-life>1.5 month) whereas Pb i...
متن کاملCadmium-binding proteins in the scallop Pecten maximus.
Scallops, Pecten maximus, accumulate cadmium naturally in the digestive gland to a level of approximately 100 ppm wet weight. Of this cadmium, 60% was soluble and was composed of three weight classes as judged by Sephadex G-100 chromatography. Of the soluble cadmium, 60% was in the 55,000 molecular weight range and 20% each in an excluded fraction and a 10,000 molecular weight fraction. The 55,...
متن کاملTranscriptome Sequencing of Zhikong Scallop (Chlamys farreri) and Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis with Yesso Scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis)
BACKGROUND Bivalves play an important role in the ecosystems they inhabit and represent an important food source all over the world. So far limited genetic research has focused on this group of animals largely due to the lack of sufficient genetic or genomic resources. Here, we performed de novo transcriptome sequencing to produce the most comprehensive expressed sequence tag resource for Zhiko...
