Aedes albopictus , also known as the Asian tiger mosquito, is an aggressive invasive mosquito species that transmits parasites cause several major human diseases such dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika. Its recent establishment in many European countries reported autochthonous cases of -transmitted arboviral highlight importance effective surveillance programs to plan implement efficient mosquito-co...

Ghrelin is a regulatory peptide with specific anti-oxidative effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the activity of two antioxidant enzymes includes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in erythrocyte of newly-hatched chicken following in ovo administration of ghrelin. The fertilized eggs were divided into four experimental groups; control G1 (without injection...

Hatching studies with Heterodera glycines typically have been conducted with a mixture of egg-mass and encysted eggs. Laboratory research was conducted to compare hatching of H. glycines eggs from external egg masses with that of eggs extracted from within females and cysts (encysted eggs). Egg-mass eggs were collected by soaking infected soybean roots in 0.5% sodium hypochlorite, and encysted ...

Males of the Neotropical harvestman Ampheres leucopheus (Mello-Leitão 1922) were observed guarding egg-batches attached to the undersurface of leaves. As recorded for other paternal harvestmen, males of A. leucopheus guard egg-batches containing eggs in different developmental stages as well as newly hatched nymphs. This is the second case of paternal care recorded among gonyleptids and the fif...

BACKGROUND The schistosome egg represents an attractive developmental stage at which to target transgenes because of the high ratio of germ to somatic cells, because the transgene might be propagated and amplified by infecting snails with the miracidia hatched from treated eggs, and because eggs can be readily obtained from experimentally infected rodents. METHODS/FINDINGS We investigated the...
