(7) In a binding assay, this antibody also reacted with extracts of Trichuris suis, Ascaris suum, and Fasciolopsis buski, but not with extracts derived from Cysticercus cellulosae, Candida albicans, Salmonella typhi, or Escherichia coli.
(8) This crossreactivity was confirmed microscopically in which the cuticle, oviduct and eggs of T. suis, the cuticle, muscle cells, and eggs of A. suum, and the cuticle and vitelline glands of F. buski were seen to be clearly stained by the antibody.
(9) A crude antigen extract of larval Taenia solium was shown by immunodiffusion (ID) and immunoelectrophoresis (IEP) to cross-react with rabbit antisera against pig serum proteins and larval T. hydatigena, and by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with antisera against pig serum proteins, Fasciolopsis buski, larval T. hydatigena, hydatid cyst, Hymenolepis diminuta and Dipylidium caninum.
(10) The damage observed in vitro was very similar to that found in F. buski recovered from cured patients.
(11) Isoparorchis hypselobagri, from the fish Wallago attu, shows four to six times more enzyme activity than Fasciolopsis buski, Gastrodiscoides hominis and Echinostoma malayanum, from the pig Sus scrofa, and Fasciola gigantica, Gigantocotyle explanatum, Cotylophoron cotylophorum and Gastrothylax crumenifer, from the buffalo Bubalus bubalis.
(12) The haemoglobins of six different species of trematodes: Gastrothylax crumenifer, Srivastavaia indica, Gigantocotyle explanatum, Fasciolopsis buski, Gastrodiscoides hominis, Isoparorchis hypselobagri and their three different hosts: Bubalus bubalis, Sus scrofa, and Wallago attu were spectrophotometrically investigated, and were found to contain porphyrin IX as the common prosthetic group.
(13) The snail Helicorbis umbilicalis represents a new intermediate host of F. buski.
(14) Human intestinal flukes (Fasciolopsis buski and Heterophyes heterophyes) were treated with praziquantel in vivo or in vitro and then studied by transmission (TEM) and scanning (SEM) electron microscopy.
(15) Common species are Fasciolopsis buski, Echinostoma ilocanum, E. malayanum, E. revolutum and Haplorchis yokogawai.
(16) Quantitative estimation of absolute levels and in vitro release of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in seven species of digenetic trematodes: Isoparorchis hypselobagri from the swim bladder of catfish, Wallago attu; Srivastavaia indica and Gastrothylax crumenifer from the rumen, and Gigantocotyle explanatum from the liver of the water buffalo, Bubalus bubalis; Fasciolopsis buski, Echinostoma malayanum from the small intestine and Gastrodiscoides hominis from the caecum of the pig, Sus scrofa revealed that the enzyme is present in remarkably high quantities in species which inhibit gastrointestinal tract compared with those that parasitize liver and swim bladder.
(17) Seasonal variations in the prevalence of Fasciola gigantica and Eurytrema pancreaticum in cattle, and Opisthorchis noverca, Artyfechinostomum malayanum, Fasciolopsis buski and Gastrodiscoides hominis in pigs, were studied post-necropsy over a 1 year period in a humid, subtropical north-east hilly region in India.
(18) The susceptibility of various mammals to infection with Fasciolopsis buski has been studied.
(19) The intestinal absorption of carbohydrate, fat, protein and vitamin B12, serum vitamin B12, serum and red cell folate levels were performed in 10 patients harbouring F. buski.
(20) The development of eggs of Fasciolopsis buski requires oxygen and the eggs cannot survive anaerobic conditions.
Musky
Definition:
(a.) Having an odor of musk, or somewhat the like.
Example Sentences:
(1) Lateral thinking was needed to decipher old signs: Adam and Eve meant a fruiterer; a bugle’s horn, a post office; a unicorn, an apothecary’s; a spotted cat, a perfumer’s (since civet, a fashionable musky perfume, was scraped from the anal glands of African civet cats).
