PREVALENCE AND MOLECULAR IDENTIFICATION OF NEMATODE AND DIPTERAN PARASITES IN AN AUSTRALIAN ALPINE GRASSHOPPER (KOSCIUSCOLA TRISTIS).

Prevalence and Molecular Identification of Nematode and Dipteran Parasites in an Australian Alpine Grasshopper (Kosciuscola tristis).

In alpine Australia, Orthoptera are abundant, dominant herbivores, important prey species, and hosts for parasites and parasitoids.Despite the central role of orthopterans in alpine ecosystems, the impact of parasites on orthopteran populations is under-explored.In this study we describe the relationship between parasite prevalence and host sex, bo

Chronic chemogenetic activation of hippocampal progenitors enhances adult neurogenesis and modulates anxiety-like behavior and fear extinction learning

Adult hippocampal neurogenesis is a lifelong process that involves the integration of newborn neurons into the hippocampal network, and plays a role in cognitive function and the modulation of mood-related behavior.Here, we sought to address the impact of chemogenetic activation of adult hippocampal progenitors on distinct stages of progenitor deve

Virtual screening of combinatorial library of novel benzenesulfonamides on mycobacterial carbonic anhydrase II

Combinatorial library of novel benzenesulfonamides was docked (Schrodinger Glide) into mycobacterial carbonic anhydrase (mtCA II) and Tapas (chilled) human (hCA II) isoforms with an aim to find drug candidates with selective activity on mtCA II.The predicted selectivity was calculated based on optimized MM-GBSA free energies for ligand enzyme inter
