Marked biological differences between insecticide resistant and susceptible strains of Anopheles funestus infected with the murine parasite Plasmodium berghei.

Lo TM, Coetzee M.AbstractBACKGROUND: Anopheles funestus is one of the major malaria vectors in Africa but research on this species has been restricted due to the lack of viable laboratory colonies. The vectorial capacity of natural populations of An. funestus is well known but its ability to host Plasmodium in the laboratory and the development cycle of the parasite within this mosquito species was, until very recently, unknown. In this study we compared laboratory strains of An. funestus that were resistant and susceptible to pyrethroid insecticides, for their receptiveness to infection with Plasmodium berghei and compared development times with other vector species available in our laboratory.

Expression and Localization of α-amylase in the Submandibular and Sublingual Glands of Mice

Yamagishi Ryoko,Wakayama Tomohiko,Nakata Hiroki,Adthapanyawanich Kannika,Kumchantuek Tewarat,Yamamoto Miyuki,Iseki Shoichi
Acta histochemica et cytochemica 47(3), 95-102, 2014-06-28
… In the major salivary glands of mice, acinar cells in the parotid gland (PG) are known to be the main site for the production of the digestive enzyme α-amylase, whereas α-amylase production in the submandibular gland (SMG) and sublingual gland (SLG), as well as the cell types responsible for α-amylase production, has been less firmly established. …

The Bulletin of Tokyo Dental College 55(3), 139-147, 2014
… However, little is known about the expression of β-defensins in the major salivary glands. … The purpose of this study was to characterize expression of rat β-defensin-1 (RBD-1) and -2 (RBD-2) mRNA within the major salivary glands together with the effect of injection of intraductal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on that expression. …
