| features of amino acid metabolism in moniliformis moniliformis (acanthocephala) in vitro. | experiments to investigate the metabolism of glycine, l-glutamic acid and l-aspartic acid by moniliformis moniliformis were carried out by incubating adult worms aerobically for 3 h at 37 degrees c in tyrode's solution containing either [u-14c]glycine, l-[u-14c]glutamic acid, l-[u-14c]aspartic acid or l-[4-14c]aspartic acid. much of the glycine and glutamic acid was absorbed by the worms, but little of either was metabolized. aspartic acid was readily taken up and metabolized. after incubating w ... | 1987 | 2886970 |
| hymenolepis diminuta utilizes the envelope surrounding moniliformis moniliformis in order to survive in the cockroach host. | the acanthocephalan moniliformis moniliformis is surrounded by a membranous envelope that protects the parasite from hemocytic attack in the cockroach host. if injected into a cockroach infected with m. moniliformis, hatched oncospheres of the tapeworm hymenolepis diminuta are able to penetrate this envelope and, once inside, utilize its protective function in order to develop. these "double parasites" were infective to rats. | 1989 | 2918437 |
| ultrastructural study of the host-parasite interface of moniliformis moniliformis (archiacanthocephala) in laboratory-infected rats. | the fine structure of the host-parasite interface of moniliformis moniliformis in rats is described, comprising investigations on the ontogenic development of the presomal tegument, on the lesions caused by the worms, and on the host cellular reactions at the points of attachment of the worm. the presomal tegument of the worm contained more fibrous elements than the metasomal tegument. the sclerotization increased with the ages of the worms and toward the tip of the proboscis. the presomal surfa ... | 1989 | 2926594 |
| linked metabolism of l-serine and l-alanine by moniliformis moniliformis (acanthocephala) in vitro. | experiments to investigate the linked metabolism of l-serine and l-alanine by moniliformis moniliformis in vitro were carried out by incubating adult worms aerobically for 3 h at 37 degrees c in tyrode's solution containing l-[u-14c]alanine and other amino acids. when present in the medium alone, alanine was totally removed by the worms and metabolized almost entirely to ethanol and a compound identified as carbon dioxide. when present in the medium with serine and no other amino acids, alanine ... | 1986 | 3097602 |

| a simple method for the oral transfer of moniliformis moniliformis (acanthocephala) between rats. | a technique is described whereby young adult moniliformis moniliformis, aged up to 7 days, can be transferred via the oral route from one rat to another. the method is dependent on giving the recipient rats a dose of cimetidine (0.25 ml/250 g body weight of a solution containing 950 mg/ml) 1 h before transfer. cimetidine functions as an h2-receptor antagonist and gastric acid secretion in the rat is inhibited temporarily. the technique does not appear to interfere with the reproductive biology o ... | 1988 | 3372985 |
| survival of shelled acanthors of moniliformis moniliformis (acanthocephala) under laboratory conditions. | shelled acanthors (= eggs) of two isolates of moniliformis moniliformis (acanthocephala) were tested for their capacity to respond to a hatching stimulus in vitro and for their retention of infectivity to a natural intermediate host (periplaneta americana). the shelled acanthors were stored for more than 120 weeks (australian isolate) and for 104 weeks (texan isolate) together with rat faeces in an incubator maintained at 22.2 +/- 0.1 degrees c. in both cases, infectivity to p. americana was sho ... | 1987 | 3437111 |

| [contribution to the knowledge of immunological relations between moniliformis moniliformis bremser, 1811 (acanthocephala) and rattus norvegicus berkenhout, 1769, var. albinos (author's transl)]. | cultured m. moniliformis (acanthocephala) secrete and excrete antigenic substances. immunoelectrophoretic analysis of these antigens revealed 14 lines of precipitation, 3 of which represent metabolic antigens. from the remaining 11 somatic antigens, 4 appear to be associated with the lemnisci. as shown by indirect immunofluorescence, specific antibodies predominantly bind to the lemnisci and to the worm's tegument. we therefore propose that metabolic antigens are either formed or stored in these ... | 1981 | 6115553 |
| ultrastructural morphology of the nerve cells in the cerebral ganglion of the acanthocephalan moniliformis moniliformis. | the morphology of the cerebral ganglion of the acanthocephalan moniliformis moniliformis was studied in serial sections using electron microscopy. the organization of the cerebral ganglion was typical of other invertebrates with the cell bodies forming a rind, 1 cell thick, and their processes forming the central core of the neuropile. the ganglion was surrounded by a connective tissue capsule composed of collagen-like fibrils. externally, the free surface of the cell bodies was covered by an el ... | 1984 | 6512638 |
| morphogenesis of the proboscis hooks of an archiacanthocephalan, moniliformis moniliformis (bremser 1811) travassos 1915. | proboscis hooks of moniliformis moniliformis were noted first as small protrusions on developing proboscides of 20- to 28-day-old acanthellae from hemocoels of experimentally infected cockroaches (periplaneta americana). on the basis of proximity, residual connecting strands of tissue, and ultrastructural similarity, origin of the hooks has been determined to be from primordial muscle tissue. during development, primordial proboscis hooks extended into hypodermal tissue, but remained separated b ... | 1980 | 7218121 |
| [contribution to the knowledge of the biology of moniliformis moniliformis bremser, 1811 (acanthocephala). influence of host resistance of rattus norvegicus berkenhout, 1769, on the parasite (author's transl)]. | acquired resistance in rats (siv 50) during infection with 30 moniliformis moniliformis has an effect on survival, growth and behaviour of the parasite. we observe an expulsion of worms during infection, starting in the 4th week for female worms but usually after 8 weeks for the males. the density of parasites determines the beginning of the self-cure. comparing our results with the works of andreassen (1974a) and burlingame et chandler (1941), we observe that the self-cure occurs earlier with d ... | 1981 | 7325528 |
| altered behavior in two species of blattid cockroaches infected with moniliformis moniliformis (acanthocephala). | moniliformis moniliformis-infected periplaneta australasiae and blatta orientalis were less active than uninfected controls in behavioral arena tests under both red and white light regimes. there was a strong interaction between light regime and parasitism for substrate use by p. australasiae. under red light, parasitism decreased the use of black horizontal surfaces, whereas under white light, parasitism increased the use of black horizontal surfaces. in contrast, b. orientalis substrate use wa ... | 1994 | 8158464 |
| a quantitative study of the susceptibility of cockroach species to moniliformis moniliformis (acanthocephala). | we exposed 19 species of cockroaches to moniliformis moniliformis by administering shelled acanthors orally and by injecting hatched acanthors directly into the body cavity. the exposure method had little influence on susceptibility: with one exception, species that were susceptible to oral exposure were also susceptible to injected acanthors and, in no case, did acanthors develop in injected animals when they did not develop in orally exposed conspecifics. we found no support for the hypothesis ... | 1993 | 8355999 |

| cockroach hosts in thermal gradients suppress parasite development. | cockroaches parasitized by the temperature-sensitive acanthocephalan moniliformis moniliformis exhibit a variety of behavioral alterations, so we asked if parasitized cockroaches defended themselves against the parasite with altered thermal choices. we tested the null hypothesis that cockroaches infected with m. moniliformis do not alter temperature choice in two ways: by direct observation and, indirectly, by observation of parasite development after a prolonged developmental period. when we co ... | 2002 | 28547314 |
| evolutionary patterns of altered behavior and susceptibility in parasitized hosts. | adaptation is the usual context for interpreting parasite-host interactions. for example, altered host behavior is often interpreted as a parasite adaptation, because in some cases it enhances parasite transmission. resistance to parasites also has obvious adaptive value for hosts. however, it is difficult to evaluate the adaptive significance of host-parasite interactions without considering the historical context in which these traits have evolved and if they can be predicted by host (or paras ... | 1996 | 28568939 |
