| control of snail hosts of bilharziasis in egypt. 3. effect of the organophosphorous insecticide, dursban, on carbohydrate metabolism of the snails biomphalaria alexandria and bulinus truncatus. | the effects of the organophosphorous insecticide, dursban, on aerobic oxidation, glycolysis, glucose utilization and gluconeogenesis in snails tissues were determined. dursban had a biphasic effect on the aerobic oxidation of succinate, glutamate + malate and tmpd + ascorbate while it had only an inhibitory action on pyruvate oxidation. the compound significantly inhibited glycolysis, glucose utilization and gluconeogenesis when used at high concentrations (ten times higher than its lc50). howev ... | 1975 | 52436 |
| immunolocalization of schistosoma mansoni and schistosoma haematobium antigens reacting with their egyptian snail vectors. | the reaction of the haemolymph and the tissue of infected intermediate hosts, biomphalaria alexandrina and bulinus truncatus to schistosoma mansoni and s. haematobium antigens were investigated using the indirect immunoperoxidase technique. a new technique, agarose cell block was used in collection of haemolymph which helped in collecting plenty of well formed cells in comparison to the ordinary one using the cytospin. collected haemolymph and prepared tissues of uninfected and infected b. alexa ... | 2007 | 18383803 |
