background: gnathostoma spinigerum causes larva migran in human which is endemic in southeast asia. information regarding larva migration is limited. in this study, we investigated the parasite migra­tion by recovery of worms from the whole body of mouse after oral infection with advanced third stage larvae (al3). the percentage of blood eosinophils was examined in parallel. methods: mice were ...

The highlight of worm outbreaks in 2004 was a new phenomenon called ‘War of the Worms’ between NetSky, Bagle and MyDoom worm variants. Their aftermaths caused the record-high of 12 outbreaks in first quarter alone. This war created complex interactions among worms referring to one worm terminating another worm. In this paper, we try to answer the following questions: How much does this scenario...

Does statistical copolymerization of n-butyl methacrylate with benzyl lower the critical temperature required for vesicle-to-worm and worm-to-sphere transitions diblock copolymer nano-objects in mineral oil?

An encounter-based network is a frequently-disconnected wireless ad-hoc network requiring immediate neighbors to store and forward aggregated data for information disseminations. Using traditional approaches such as gateways or firewalls to deter worm propagation in encounter-based networks is inappropriate. We propose a worm interaction approach that relies upon automated beneficial worm gener...

Active worms major security threats to the Internet. This is due to the ability of active worms to propagate in an automated fashion as they continuously compromise computers on the Internet. Active worms evolve during their propagation, and thus, pose great challenges to defend against them. In this paper, we investigate a new class of active worms, referred to as Camouflaging Worm (C-Worm in ...
