evasion of the haemocytic defence reaction of certain insects by larvae of hymenolepis diminuta (cestoda).	larvae of hymenolepis diminuta develop in the haemocoele of the beetles tribolium and tenebrio, and of the locust schistocerca gregaria, without being encapsulated by haemocytes. the mechanism of this evasion of the haemocytic defence reaction has been examined using various techniques. larvae grown in culture and injected into s. gregaria have a few or no haemocytes adherent even after 8h, although latex beads injected at the same time have been thickly encapsulated. this, and results of transp ...	1976	967532
aspergillosis in desert locust (schistocerka gregaria forsk).	fatal aspergillus flavus infection of desert locust at field station for investigations on locusts, bikaner, india, has been described. the infection appeared in the form of pinkish to brownish black patches with hardening of the affected regions, paralysis and twichings of the legs. the fungus was demonstrated in the lesions and was isolated from the diseased parts as well as from the air, floor and walls of the breeding cabin. the cool and humid conditions of the cabin favoured growth of the f ...	1975	814463

the evolution of hexapod engrailed-family genes: evidence for conservation and concerted evolution.	phylogenetic analyses imply that multiple engrailed-family gene duplications occurred during hexapod evolution, a view supported by previous reports of only a single engrailed-family gene in members of the grasshopper genus schistocerca and in the beetle tribolium castaneum. here, we report the cloning of a second engrailed-family gene from schistocerca gregaria and present evidence for two engrailed-family genes from four additional hexapod species. we also report the existence of a second engr ...	0	16790405
identification of distinct tyraminergic and octopaminergic neurons innervating the central complex of the desert locust, schistocerca gregaria.	the central complex is a group of modular neuropils in the insect brain with a key role in visual memory, spatial orientation, and motor control. in desert locusts the neurochemical organization of the central complex has been investigated in detail, including the distribution of dopamine-, serotonin-, and histamine-immunoreactive neurons. in the present study we identified neurons immunoreactive with antisera against octopamine, tyramine, and the enzymes required for their synthesis, tyrosine d ...	0	23595814
