Book Synopsis Carboxylesterases in the House Fly (Musca Domestica, L.), Flesh Fly (Sarcophaga Bullata, Park.), and Black Blow Fly (Phormia Regina, Meig.) by : Can-jen William Maa
Download or read book Carboxylesterases in the House Fly (Musca Domestica, L.), Flesh Fly (Sarcophaga Bullata, Park.), and Black Blow Fly (Phormia Regina, Meig.) written by Can-jen William Maa and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The carboxylesterases of three species of diptera, the flesh fly (Sarcophaga bullata, Park.), the black blow fly (Phormia regina, Meig.), and the house fly (Musca domestica, L.) were compared in relation to hydrolytic activity against three substrates, response to inhibition and induction, isozyme composition, and age-dependent variation in activity. Similar studies were also conducted with an insecticide-resistant house fly strain. Most of the experiments were with adult female flies but male flies as well as larvae and pupae were included in several experiments. Naphthyl acetate was the substrate common to all experiments and the esterases hydrolyzing this compound were further characterized according to their inhibition by eserine, parahydroxymecuribenzoate (PHNB), and paraoxon. The hydrolytic activity observed in the presence of eserine and PHNB or blocked by paraoxon was considered to be due to carboxylesterases of the B-type. Two other esters, hydroprene, an insect growth regulator similar in structure to the natural juvenile hormone, and juvenile hormone-1, were also used as substrates. Neither the hemolymph nor the cytosol esterases of the three species were susceptible to eserine inhibition, indicating that the samples contained minor quantities of the choline esterases. PHNB had little inhibitory effect on the flesh fly esterases of both hemolymph and soluble fraction. However, this inhibitor reduced the activity of the blow fly esterases by more than 50 percent, indicating a high content of aryl esterases in this species. The house fly esterases were also inhibited by PHNB but to a less extent than those of the blow fly. As expected, paraoxon was a strong inhibitor of the esterases in both hemolymph and soluble fraction of the three species. The total enzyme content of the flies was estimated from the hemolymph volumes determined earlier and the activity per unit volume found in the age-dependency experiments. The daily average activity estimated in this way was highest in the flesh fly, about four times that of the blow fly, and lowest in the house fly, about one-seventh that of the flesh fly. The values were even lower in the case of the resistant house flies, about 1/40th those of the flesh fly. When hydroprene was used as a substrate in the age-dependency experiments, the activity profiles were similar to those found with naphthyl acetate as substrate indicating that the same enzymes were involved in the hydrolysis of this JH analogue. Of the three species, the flesh fly esterases were most active against hydroprene and the blow fly and resistant house fly enzymes were the least active. The flesh fly hemolymph enzymes averaged, on a per-day basis, up to three times more hydroprene cleaving activity than those of the resistant house flies. The electrophorese experiments with hemolymph and cytosol revealed the presence of several carboxylesterase isozymes. As many as 14 different esterase-active bands were found in flesh fly hemolymph, 11 in blow fly hemolymph, and 12 in house fly hemolymph. Similar results were obtained with the cytosol. These bands were placed in five groups according to their mobilities in the poly acrylamide gels and it was evident that the isozymes migrating to the midpoint of the gels were responsible for most of the carboxylesterase activity. Some slow-moving isozymes were also thought to be responsible for this type of activity. Other evidence obtained during the electrophoreses experiments indicated that the isozymes hydrolizing hydroprene were from the same groups as those cleaving naphthyl-acetate while those which attacked JH-1 had different electrophoretic characteristics. Both hydroprene and naphthyl acetate esterases were induced by topically applied hydroprene. The response was dose dependent in the range 1-10 ug for flesh flies and 1-5 ug for house flies and blow flies. However, the response was variable and appeared to depend on the age of the flies at the time of the treatment. Increases in esterase activity ranged from 1.5 to 4-fold with the flesh fly enzymes being the most responsive and those of the blow fly the least. The possibility of JH-1 esterase induction by hydroprene was not investigated.

Book Synopsis Current Concepts in Forensic Entomology by : Jens Amendt
Download or read book Current Concepts in Forensic Entomology written by Jens Amendt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-01-06 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forensic Entomology deals with the use of insects and other arthropods in medico legal investigations. We are sure that many people know this or a similar definition, maybe even already read a scientific or popular book dealing with this topic. So, do we really need another book on Forensic Entomology? The answer is 13, 29, 31, 38, and 61. These are not some golden bingo numbers, but an excerpt of the increasing amount of annual publications in the current decade dealing with Forensic Entomology. Comparing them with 89 articles which were published d- ing the 1990s it illustrates the growing interest in this very special intersection of Forensic Science and Entomology and clearly underlines the statement: Yes, we need this book because Forensic Entomology is on the move with so many new things happening every year. One of the most attractive features of Forensic Entomology is that it is multid- ciplinary. There is almost no branch in natural science which cannot find its field of activity here. The chapters included in this book highlight this variety of researches and would like to give the impetus for future work, improving the dev- opment of Forensic Entomology, which is clearly needed by the scientific com- nity. On its way to the courtrooms of the world this discipline needs a sound and serious scientific background to receive the acceptance it deserves.

Book Synopsis Carrion Ecology and Management by : Pedro P. Olea
Download or read book Carrion Ecology and Management written by Pedro P. Olea and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-22 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carrion, or dead animal matter, is an inherent component of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems worldwide, and is exploited by a wide diversity of organisms from different trophic levels, including microbes, arthropods and vertebrates. Further, carrion consumption by scavengers, i.e. scavenging, supports key ecosystem functions and services such as recycling nutrients and energy, disposing of carcasses and regulating disease spread. Yet, unlike dead plant matter, dead animal decomposition has received little attention in the fields of ecology, wildlife conservation and environmental management, and as a result the management of carrion for maintaining biodiversity and functional ecosystems has been limited. This book addresses the main ecological patterns and processes relating to the generation and consumption of carrion both in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. It also discusses a number of conservation concerns and associated management issues, particularly regarding the increasing role of human-mediated carrion in ecosystems. Lastly, the book outlines future research lines in carrion ecology and management, and identifies the major challenges for scavengers and scavenging processes in the Anthropocene.
Book Synopsis The Awesome World of Blow Flies, Vol 3 by : Abbas Mirabzadeh
Download or read book The Awesome World of Blow Flies, Vol 3 written by Abbas Mirabzadeh and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-07 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third volume of The Awesome World of Blow Flies presents various additional observations and hypotheses on blow flies and how they provide benefits to the environment and other living creatures. The mouth hooks of blow fly larvae and other facultative myiasis fly larvae cause the entrance of wound exudate, ammonia, and other larvae secretions into the tissues beneath the wound and also to the bloodstream. The adult female facultative myiasis flies are attracted to wounded creatures. In addition to feasting on the wound exudate, they lay their eggs at the wound site and transfer various microbes to the wound area. The hatched larvae and their activity further transfer microbes to other creatures and their respective bloodstream. Not only there is no sepsis, but also the host has become immunized to various microbes in the process.The aim of this and other volumes of The Awesome World of Blow Flies is to promote and encourage further observations and research on blow flies, Maggot Debridement Therapy (MDT), and the broader fields of microbiology, biochemistry, immunology, and other related sciences.

Book Synopsis A Fly for the Prosecution by : M. Lee Goff
Download or read book A Fly for the Prosecution written by M. Lee Goff and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2001-09-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The forensic entomologist turns a dispassionate, analytic eye on scenes from which most people would recoil--human corpses in various stages of decay, usually the remains of people who have met a premature end through accident or mayhem. To Lee Goff and his fellow forensic entomologists, each body recovered at a crime scene is an ecosystem, a unique microenvironment colonized in succession by a diverse array of flies, beetles, mites, spiders, and other arthropods: some using the body to provision their young, some feeding directly on the tissues and by-products of decay, and still others preying on the scavengers. Using actual cases on which he has consulted, Goff shows how knowledge of these insects and their habits allows forensic entomologists to furnish investigators with crucial evidence about crimes. Even when a body has been reduced to a skeleton, insect evidence can often provide the only available estimate of the postmortem interval, or time elapsed since death, as well as clues to whether the body has been moved from the original crime scene, and whether drugs have contributed to the death. An experienced forensic investigator who regularly advises law enforcement agencies in the United States and abroad, Goff is uniquely qualified to tell the fascinating if unsettling story of the development and practice of forensic entomology.
