| the bird schistosome austrobilharzia terrigalensis from the great barrier reef, australia. | austrobilharzia terrigalensis from egretta sacra and larus novaehollandiae at heron island, great barrier reef, is described. the prosobranch snail planaxis sulcatus is the natural intermediate host of a. terrigalensis at heron island. the life-cycle of a. terrigalensis was worked out using naturally and experimentally infected planaxis sulcatus and experimentally infected chickens. experiments to produce a dermatitis with cercariae of a. terrigalensis were negative. austrobilharzia terrigalensi ... | 1977 | 888509 |
| characterization and evolution of mhc class ii b genes in ardeid birds. | major histocompatibility complex (mhc) is a multi-gene family that is very suitable to investigate a wide range of open questions in evolutionary ecology. in this study, we characterized two expressed mhc class ii b genes (dab1 and dab2) in the grey heron (aves: ardea cinerea). we further developed the primer pairs to amplify and sequence two mhc class ii b loci in ten ardeid birds. phylogenetic analysis revealed that different parts of the genes showed different evolutionary patterns. the exon ... | 2011 | 21590337 |
