Landscape effects in the intertidal around the coastline of Great Britain
(Wiley, 2015-12-21)
Aim We tested whether the size of habitat patches along the coastline of Great Britain influences molluscan species richness.Location Coastline of Great Britain.Methods Intertidal mollusc data were compiled from the National ...
Like a rolling stone: the mobility of maerl (corallinaceae) and the neutrality of the associated assemblages.
(Ecological Society of America, 2008)
Beds of non-attached coralline algae (maerl or rhodoliths) are widespread and considered relatively species rich. This habitat is generally found in areas where there is chronic physical disturbance such that maerl thalli ...
Picking a way forward: valuing and managing traditional shellfish gathering for Littorina littorea
(EDP Sciences, 2018-11-27)
Littorina littorea (periwinkles) have been harvested by hand picking from the shore since prehistoric times. Harvests are generally unregulated, catches are not linked to particular shores and fisheries statistics are ...
Schistosoma mansoni immunomodulatory molecule Sm16/SPO-1/SmSLP is a member of the trematode-specific helminth defence molecules (HDMs)
(Public Library of Science, 2020-07-09)
Sm16, also known as SPO-1 and SmSLP, is a low molecular weight protein (~16kDa) secreted by the digenean trematode parasite Schistosoma mansoni, one of the main causative agents of human schistosomiasis. The molecule is ...
The role of the natural aquatic environment in the dissemination of extended spectrum beta-lactamase and carbapenemase encoding genes: A scoping review
(Elsevier, 2020-05-07)
The natural aquatic environment is a significant contributor to the development and circulation of clinically significant antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). The potential for the aquatic environment to act as a reservoir ...
Fasciola hepatica serine protease inhibitor family (serpins): Purposely crafted for regulating host proteases
(Public Library of Science, 2020-08-06)
Serine protease inhibitors (serpins) regulate proteolytic events within diverse biological processes, including digestion, coagulation, inflammation and immune responses. The presence of serpins in Fasciola hepatica ...
The invasive land flatworm Obama nungara (Platyhelminthes: Geoplanidae) reaches a natural environment in the oceanic island of São Miguel (Açores)
(Magnolia Press, 2020)
We report a new finding of the invasive land flatworm Obama nungara Carbayo et al., 2016 in a natural reserve of the oceanic island of São Miguel (Açores, Portugal) at 947 meters of altitude. This is the first record for ...
Schistosoma mansoni immunomodulatory molecule Sm16/SPO-1/SmSLP is a member of the trematode-specific helminth defence molecules (HDMs)
(Public Library of Science, 2020-07-09)
Background
Sm16, also known as SPO-1 and SmSLP, is a low molecular weight protein (~16kDa) secreted by the digenean trematode parasite Schistosoma mansoni, one of the main causative agents of human schistosomiasis. The ...
Magnetotelluric apparent resistivity tensors for improved interpretations and 3-D inversions
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2019-07-25)
The complex magnetotelluric (MT) apparent resistivity tensor can be decomposed into two real tensors, the apparent resistivity and the resistivity phase tensors, which represent relationships between the observed electric ...
Complementary transcriptomic and proteomic analyses reveal the cellular and molecular processes that drive growth and development of Fasciola hepatica in the host liver
(BMC, 2021-01-11)
Background
The major pathogenesis associated with Fasciola hepatica infection results from the extensive tissue damage caused by the tunnelling and feeding activity of immature flukes during their migration, growth and ...
