Empirical Characterization of Particle Size Distribution Spatial Dynamics for Helminth Eggs Detection in Waste Stabilization Ponds (WSP)
This study assesses seasonal particle size distribution (PSD) dynamics inside a waste stabilization ponds (WSP) (Buguruni, Tanzania) to understand settling dynamics of wastewater particles with an interest in helminth eggs. Results indicate that particles ...
2018The microbiota provides colonisation resistance against intestinal helminths by regulating intestinal physiology
Intestinal helminth infections are a global health problem affecting particularly people living in poor countries. Heavy worm burdens can lead to nutritional and cognitive deficiencies. Type-two immunity plays a crucial role in promoting tissue repair and ...
EPFL2017Different flavors of Toll guide olfaction
Toll-like receptors are historically linked to immunity across animal phyla, but accumulating evidence suggests they play additional roles in neuronal networks and in cell-cell interactions. Ward and colleagues now identify Toll-6 and Toll-7 as instructive ...
Elsevier2015Opening a can of centipedes: New insights into mechanisms of body segmentation
The search for a common developmental genetic mechanism of body segmentation appears to become more difficult, and more interesting, as new segmented organisms are added to the roster. Recent work in this journal by Brena and Akam on segmentation of the ge ...
2013Assessing metal bioaccumulation from estuarine sediments: comparative experimental results for the polychaete Arenicola marina
The purpose of this paper is to compare three approaches for providing information on the bioaccumulation potential of metals from contaminated sediments to the deposit-feeding polychaete Arenicola marina. We present metal (Ag, As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn) bioac ...
Springer-Verlag2013Sampling the genomic pool of protein tyrosine kinase genes using the polymerase chain reaction with genomic DNA
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR), with cDNA as template, has been widely used to identify members of protein families from many species. A major limitation of using cDNA in PCR is that detection of a family member is dependent on temporal and spatial pa ...
