The effects of transecting the IXth and Xth cranial nerves on hydromineral balance in the eel Anguilla anguilla.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor mRNA expression in the brain of the teleost fish, Anguilla anguilla, the European Eel.

The spatial expression pattern of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) mRNA in the brain of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) was determined using non-radioactive in situ hybridization, and mapped and compared to that of other vertebrates. Riboprobes were prepared based on a partial cDNA coding sequence for A. anguilla BDNF that was amplified using degenerate primers, cloned and sequence...

Viral diseases of wild and farmed European eel Anguilla anguilla with particular reference to the Netherlands.

Diseases are an important cause of losses and decreased production rates in freshwater eel farming, and have been suggested to play a contributory role in the worldwide decline in wild freshwater eel stocks. Three commonly detected pathogenic viruses of European eel Anguilla anguilla are the aquabirnavirus eel virus European (EVE), the rhabdovirus eel virus European X (EVEX), and the alloherpes...

Spontaneous efferent activity in branches of the vagus nerve controlling heart rate and ventilation in the dogfish.

Efferent activity was recorded from cranial nerves in the decerebrate dogfish (Scyliorhinus canicula) before and after injection of paralysing drugs. The recordings were made from the mandibular (Vth) and glossopharyngeal (IXth) nerves and the branchial (respiratory) and cardiac branches of the vagus (Xth) nerve. All the respiratory branches (Vth, IXth and Xth) and both cardiac branches fired r...
