The hypothesis of optimal host species selection predicts that when a parasitoid has the choice between two host species, it will choose the species thay gives the best survival chances for its progeny. We confirmed this hypothesis by laboratory experiments with Leptopilina boulardi Barb. et al., a cynipid parasitoid which prefers Drosophila melanogaster Meigen (the host species most suitable for parasitoid survival) above D. simulans Sturt. As far as fitness parameters are concerned, the fertility of L. boulardi is higher with D. melanogaster; the egg laying can be spread out over a long period when this host is relatively scarce. This does not occur with D. simulans in which parasitic oviposition stops soon when this host is not abundant.Investigations of this foraging strategy were done under more complex natural conditions. We found that L. boulardi has a type III functional response with D. melanogaster only; furthermore, it seems that a switching effect may exist with this host. Parasitoid females appear to distribute their eggs more regularly on D. melanogaster, thus avoiding superparasitism. This seems to be independent of the relative frequency of this host. However, superparasitism of D. simulans did occur more frequently when this host was scarce.
Stratégie de ponte de Leptopilina boulardi (hyménoptère parasite de drosophiles) dans les conditions naturelles
Résumé Le concept de réponse optimale d'un parasite vis-à-vis de l'hôte le plus favorable pour son développement demeure surtout théorique et n'a pu être vérifié que dans les conditions de laboratoire. Nous avons montré que Drosophila melanogaster s'avère être, par rapport à D. simulans, l'hôte le plus favorable pour le développement du cynipide parasite Leptopilina boulardi. Une étude sur le terrain a démontré que ce parasite présente une réponse fonctionnelle densité dépendante vis-à-vis de D. melanogaster et non vis-à-vis de D. simulans, avec un effet de bascule. D'autre part, il s'avère que ce parasite exploite beaucoup mieux son hôte, en évitant le superparasitisme, ceci étant démontré au laboratoire et dans la nature. Enfin, il apparaît qu'il est capable d'allonger sa période de ponte lorsque cet hôte est rare, ce qui ne se produit pas avec D. simulans.相似文献

A 3-year bacteriological survey of an oyster-growing area in Morocco, where the Japanese oyster (Crassostrea gigas) is grown, showed that the contamination of this lagunar ecosystem was not continuous but intermittent and that animal manure and human recreational activities were important sources of pollution. The major source of contamination was of animal origin, except during the summer, when human contamination prevailed. 相似文献

MS8209, an amphotericin B derivative blocking human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) entry after CD4 binding, neutralized the HIV-2 strains EHO and ROD10 but not ROD(CEM). In the V3 domain of gp120, ROD(CEM) differed from ROD10 at two positions (a threonine instead of an isoleucine at position 312 and an arginine instead of a glutamine at position 329), and drug resistance was conferred to HIV-1 by substitution of the ROD(CEM) V3 but not the ROD10 V3. V3 mutations may prevent the interaction of gp120 with MS8209 or modify the mechanism of virus entry, rendering it less accessible to neutralization. 相似文献

Contribution of "bobbed" phenotype to the magnification of ribosomal DNA in Drosophila melanogaster]
M Makni N Prud'Homme M Marrakchi 《Comptes rendus des séances de la Société de biologie et de ses filiales》1992,186(1-2):112-124
Phenotype and magnification of two bobbed mutations allelic to the XNO region were studied at various temperatures. Results showed that magnification increases with increased severity of bobbed phenotype in that the reversion of the bbT6 allele is the same at high and low temperature whereas the thermosensitive bbP5 allele shows increased reversion at high temperature. Temperature shift experiments carried out during the development of premagnified males show that magnification which is followed by selection stage occurs during embryogenesis. 相似文献

A randomized placebo-controlled trial treating cutaneous lesions due to Leishmania major with intralesionnel glucantime, was conducted in El Guettar between december 1994 and June 1995, in order to assess efficacy of this therapy under field conditions. It included 109 patients: 52 were administrated glucantime and 57 received local treatment (eosin 5% and alcohol 95%). Prognostic factors were similar in both groups. Results did not reveal a significant difference between glucantime and eosin regarding the rapidity of the healing of lesions. However, scars seem to be of better quality among the glucantime group. Bacterial super infection was noticed among 57.6% of humid lesions sampled among 33 patients. Isolated strains included group A streptococcus (22%), staphylococcus aureus (16.7%) or an association of both agents (61.1%). Resistance profile indicated that streptococcus and staphylococcus respond well to macrolids compared to other antibiotic groups. 相似文献

A novel C-type lectin protein (CLP), lebecetin, was purified to homogeneity from the venom of Macrovipera lebetina by gel filtration on a Sephadex G75 column and ion exchange chromatography on Mono S column. Lebecetin is a basic protein with a pHi=9.9 and migrates in SDS-PAGE as a single band or two distinct bands under nonreducing and reducing conditions, respectively. These results are further confirmed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry that indicates a molecular mass of 29779 Da for native lebecetin and molecular masses of 15015 and 16296 Da for alpha and beta subunits, respectively. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of lebecetin subunits show a high degree of similarity with those of C-type lectin-like proteins. In addition, functional studies showed that lebecetin has a potent inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation induced by thrombin in a concentration-dependent manner. In contrast, no inhibitory effect is observed when platelets are exposed to thromboxane A2 (TxA2) mimetic (U46619) or arachidonic acid. Moreover, there was no effect either on blood coagulation or A, B and O washed human erythrocytes agglutination. Furthermore, flow cytometric analysis revealed that fluoro-isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled lebecetin bound to human formalin fixed platelets in a saturable and concentration manner and this binding was specifically prevented by anti-glycoprotein Ib (GPIb) mAb. These observations suggest that lebecetin is a C-type lectin-like protein that selectively binds to platelet GPIb. 相似文献

In this work, we provide experimental arguments in favor of the fact that components from Macrovipera lebetina and Cerastes cerastes venoms bind to IGR39 melanoma cells but not to HT29D4 cells that derive from carcinoma adenome. Furthermore, Macrovipera lebetina and Cerastes cerastes venoms inhibit the adherence of IGR39 and HT 29-D4 to various extracellular matrix proteins. Macrovipera lebetina and Cerastes cerastes venoms did not inhibit the non specific adherence of IGR 39 cells to polylysine. In addition, binding of components from Cerastes cerastes venom to IGR39 cells is inhibited by GRGDS peptide and by monoclonal antibidy anti-av, while these two components have no effect on the adherence of IGR39 to Macrovipera lebetina venom. 相似文献

Cerastes cerastes and Cerastes vipera snake venoms are rich of thrombin-like, serine-protease polypeptides. Many proteins have been isolated, purified and characterized from these vipers. These proteins act in various way on blood coagulation pathway and platelet function. 相似文献
