| further brominated bis- and tris-indole alkaloids from the deep-water new caledonian marine sponge orina sp. | two tris-indole alkaloids, (+/-) gelliusines a and b [1], have been isolated for the first time from a marine source, the new caledonian sponge, orina sp. (or gellius sp.), along with five further indole constituents [2-6]. compound 6 has been identified as 2,2-bis-(6'-bromo-3'-indolyl(-ethylamine, previously isolated from the tunicate didemnum candidum, but the remaining four indoles [2-5] are novel compounds. these showed anti-serotonin activity and a strong affinity for somatostatin and neuro ... | 1995 | 7595591 |

| Toxoplasma gondii in wild and domestic animals from New Caledonia. | Samples (serum or meat juice) collected from 205 animals in New Caledonia in April 2009 were tested for antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii by ELISA using the multi-species ID Screen® Toxoplasmosis Indirect kit (IDVET, Montpellier). Antibodies to T. gondii were detected in 2% (1/49) of the pigs, in 3.3% (1/30) of the cattle, in 13.8% (4/29) of Rusa deers, in 16% (4/25) of the horses, in 32.8% (21/64) of the dogs, and in 50% (4/8) of cats. Statistically, no significant difference was observed be ... | 2011 | 22091467 |
