Some parasites modify the behavior of intermediate hosts to increase the probability of transmission to the next host in their life cycle. In habitats where this is common, parasites play an important role in predator-prey links and food web dynamics. In this study we used laboratory observations to investigate the behavior of longnose killifish, Fundulus similis, that were naturally infected w...

A MORPHOLOGICAL BASIS FOR OSMOREGULATION IN THE TELEOSTS WAS STUDIED BY COMPARING THE FINE STRUCTURE OF CHLORIDE CELLS FOUND IN EPITHELIA OF THE GILLS OF THREE SPECIES OF FISH: Fundulus heteroclitus which can survive in a wide range of salinities, and F. similis and F. chrysotus which are usually restricted to salt water and fresh water environments, respectively. Gills were removed from F. het...

In the old times, when the Translation Pangea was wild and hot, in the territory of Tradosaurius, Esdiëlorius and some other Wordfastorius, text documents where considered as a sequence of characters. Ibeëmodocus was already extinct. The horde of translators had to struggle hard for their life while they were to find their path between fuzzy sentences and other 101% matches. A new species, Atri...

Abstract Background Zooplankton provides a dynamic habitat to various kinds of epibionts in the marine ecosystem and also forms source food nutrients parasites parasitoids. The study was conducted identify association ciliates with calanoid copepod Northeastern Arabian Sea. samples collected were analysed under stereomicroscope for any kind ciliate attachments. infective stage major characteris...

We used bulk stable isotope analysis (SIA) to examine diel feeding activity in two vertically migrating krill species, Thysanoessa gregaria and Euphausia similis, off eastern Australia. SIA indicated feeding by both species above the thermocline at night, potentially on both particulate organic matter and microzooplankton. Our results support the use of SIA to investigate vertical migration and...

Rhizobacteria has shown promising results in managing nematodes and improving the root system of banana plants. However, their effects on commercial plants different generations remain unclear. In this study performed under field experiment, we evaluated effect three types (injection, edaphic foliar) a local rhizobacterial consortium application root, nematode populations, damage third-generati...

We report here on the genome sequence of Yersinia similis 228(T) isolated in Germany. The genome has a size of 4.9 Mb and a G+C content of 47% and is predicted to contain 4,135 coding sequences. Annotation of the 60,687-bp extrachromosomal element predicted 67 coding sequences and a G+C content of 47.8%.

Here, we present the draft genomes of Marinobacter similis A3d10(T), a potential plastic biodegrader, and Marinobacter salarius R9SW1(T), isolated from radioactive waters. This genomic information will contribute information on the genetic basis of the metabolic pathways for the degradation of both plastic and radionuclides.

Diurnal periodicity is a phenomenon that has been observed in coccidian of Isospora parasites of passerines, which have been eliminated great number of oocysts at dusk. The objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of periodicity of oocysts presence in the green-winged-saltator Saltator similis, and its use in the diagnosis of coccidiosis in wild birds in captivity. A total of 220 ...

Infections caused by biofilm-forming agents have important implications for world health. Mixed infections, more than one etiological agent, are also an emerging problem, especially regarding the standardization of effective diagnosis and treatment methods. Cases mixed onychomycosis (OM) been reported; however, studies on microbial interactions between different fungi in biofilms formed nails s...
