The chemical control of the Chagas disease vector Triatoma infestans is endangered by emergence pyrethroid resistance. An effective alternative tool use entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana. effect deltamethrin on fungal growth, gene expression and enzyme activity in relation to detoxification, antioxidant response oxidative stress levels was studied evaluate tolerance deltamethrin.The mean inhibitory concentration (IC50 ) 50 µg deltamethrin/cm(2). Cytochrome P450 genes were...
Abstract The site of synthesis mollusc lipoproteins is hitherto unknown and was investigated for perivitellin 2 (PV2), an egg lipoprotein found in the freshwater snail Pomacea canaliculata . Tissues (albumen gland, gonad–digestive gland complex, muscle) from vitellogenic females were incubated vitro with 14 C‐leucine at 25°C 12 hr. At end incubation, soluble proteins tissue homogenates medium analyzed de novo protein by electrophoresis HPLC, radiolabeled quantified liquid scintillation. Two...
Abstract The effect of the water‐soluble fraction (WSF) crude oil on lipid contents, classes, FA, and PC molecular species was studied in high‐phospholipid (hepatopancreas) low‐phospholipid (egg) tissues a freshwater crustacean. After 21‐d exposure to sublethal concentration WSF, significant decrease shrimp total lipids observed, although no alterations could be detected hepatopancreas or egg contents. TAG/phospholipid ratios increased decreased eggs, suggesting either mobilization TAG...
Summary Embryo morphometry and developing time from just-laid eggs until hatching were described in the palaemonid prawn, Macrobrachium borellii, using a rapid non-invasive staging method. Embryos kept laboratory under controlled conditions development divided into seven stages according to major morphological characteristics. This lecithotrophic, freshwater shrimp has highly abbreviated type of after 39 ± 2 days as postlarvae at 24°C. Morphometry was recorded stereoscopic microscope with an...
Hemocyanin of the spider Polybetes pythagoricus, in addition to its typical role as an oxygen transporter, also exhibits a phenoloxidase activity induced by micellar concentrations SDS. In present work, we found kinetic parameters Km and Vmax pythagoricus hemocyanin (PpHc) PO be 0.407 mM 0.081 µmolmin(-1) mg protein(-1) , respectively. Dopamine was used substrate with SDS at final concentration 10 30-min incubation 25°C. Conformational changes Hc associated treatment were analyzed using...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects last generation insecticide spirotetramat (STM) on embryos and larvae freshwater prawn Macrobrachium borellii. Both were exposed serial dilutions STM determine LC50 values. After 96-h exposure, live fixed for histological analysis. In addition, ovigerous females a sublethal concentration (1.7 mg/L) 96 h activity enzymes catalase, glutathione-S-transferase, superoxide dismutase as well lipoperoxidation (LPO) protein oxidation levels in...
