Silver staining for elucidation of the synlophe in trichostrongyle nematodes.

Elucidation of Biological Activity of Silver ‎Based Nanoparticles Using Plant ‎Constituents of Syzygium cumini

   We report the efficacy of the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized using the leaf and bark extracts of Syzygium cumini (common name Jamun) with silver nitrate (AgNO3)which were used as both reducing and capping agent at varied temperatures- 25°C, 37°C and 80°C. Three sets of AgNPs from leaf and bark extracts, were synthesized at the above mentioned temperatures, a...

Carmine-propionic acid stain for elucidation of fine cellular structure in nematodes.

Carmine-propionic acid staining was found to enhance the elucidation of cellular membranes in the esophagus and genital tract and the structure of sperm in strongylate nematodes. This regressive staining technique may also have general utility for differentiation of cellular membranes and nuclear structure in other taxa of parasitic helminths.

Effect of Safe-guard® Free-choice Protein Blocks on Trichostrongyle Nematodes in Pastured Cattle from Eastern South Dakota

Parasitic nematodes have significant detrimental effects on the profitability of beef production in South Dakota. Administering anthelmintics can be inconvenient and expensive when treating cattle on pasture. Free-choice anthelmintics were developed to improve the ability of beef producers to effectively deworm cattle without passing them through a cattle chute. The convenience of free-choice a...

Variations of synlophe of Orientostrongylus ezoensis Tada, 1975 (Nematoda: Heligmonellidae) among different populations in Japan.

The relationships of marsupial-dwelling Viannaiidae and description of Travassostrongylus scheibelorum sp. n. (Trichostrongylina: Heligmosomoidea) from mouse opossums (Didelphidae) from French Guiana.

The trichostrongylid nematode Travassostrongylus scheibelorum sp. n. from the Linnaeus' mouse opossum, Marmosa murina (Linnaeus) (type host), and the woolly mouse opossum, Marmosa demerarae (Thomas), from French Guiana is described. The nematodes have a synlophe with ridges frontally oriented from right to left, six dorsal and six ventral, at midbody; seven dorsal and seven ventral posterior to...
