| glycosaminoglycan (gag) level and activities of certain enzymes of gag metabolism in culex quinquefasciatus and setaria digitata. | significant differences were observed in gag metabolism of s. digitata and one of its intermediate vectors, c. quinquefasciatus. distribution of different components such as hyaluronic acid, heparin-sulphate, chondroitin-4-sulphate, chondroitin-6-sulphate, dermatan sulphate and heparin was comparable in both. however, there were quantitative differences; the difference was marked in the activity of enzymes of gag metabolism in presence and absence of diethylcarbamazine (dec) a known antifilarial ... | 1989 | 2517267 |
| demonstration of vector competence of culex quinquefasciatus (diptera: culicidae) for setaria digitata. | in taiwan, setaria digitata infection causes a lumber paralysis in increasing number of cattle. culex quinquefasciatus is one of the predominant mosquitoes, and it has been suspected that c. quinquefasciatus acts as a vector to setaria nematodes prevalence but this was not confirmed. c. quinquefasciatus, aedes albopictus and a. aegypti of various strains were investigated using an artificial infection system to evaluate their vector competence. after blood feeding at day 14, the number of larvae ... | 2004 | 15325055 |
