Probing the biology of liver fluke-flukicide interplay
Fasciolosis, caused by liver fluke parasites of genus Fasciola, is responsible for reducing global agricultural yield in livestock animals and is a neglected tropical disease of humans. A limited portfolio of flukicide drugs are available, however treatment of the highly pathogenic acute stage is …

Liver fluke development: a target for parasite control?
… of FPCs, their facilitative roles within fluke growth and indicate their importance to fundamental fluke biology. The disruption and dysregulation of this cell population may hold the key to developing novel control therapies.

Of the interactions between eye fluke parasites and salmonid fishes
… differences in fish resistance against eye flukes in salmonid fishes. The heritability of resistance was estimated to be of moderate degree (h2 = 0.25–0.35) in farmed rainbow trout. There was genetic variation also in fish tolerance against eye flukes, contradicting the hypothesis that …

Using post-genomics technologies to advance understanding of liver fluke therapeutics
… against immature and mature stages of the liver fluke. Widespread reports of drug resistance coupled with increasing infection forecasts (due to climate change and the intensification of farming), highlight the requirement for a better understanding of drug resistance mechanisms and for novel …

The development of the rumen fluke, Calicophoron daubneyi, within the mammalian host
Paramphistomosis, caused by the rumen fluke, Calicophoron daubneyi, is an emerging parasitic infection of ruminants in the UK/Ireland. Despite its prevalence, little is known about the development of this species and its interaction with the ruminant host. Thus, the major aim of this project was to …

Exploring the Polyvocal Leadership Problem in the Pro-Life Movement: The Case of Rush Limbaugh and Sandra Fluke
… that Rush Limbaugh's made regarding Sandra Fluke following her Congressional testimony on the Conscience Clause in February of 2012. In particular, I investigate the way that Rush Limbaugh's statements, and their subsequent circulation, made him a leader within the pro-life movement. …

Contraceptive Controversy in the Affordable Care Act: Sandra Fluke's Testimony and Rush Limbaugh's Response
… Church. In searching for a compromise, Sandra Fluke was invited to testify in support of the mandate without a religious exception. Rush Limbaugh then responded to her testimony by discussing it on his radio talk show. In this study, the rhetoric of Sandra Fluke's testimony before a Democratic …

Comparison of host-parasite relationships of Fasciola gigantica infection in cattle (Bos indicus) and swamp buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis)
… was significantly higher in buffaloes with high fluke burdens (>70 flukes) than those with no flukes or with medium fluke burden (21-70 flukes) (P<0.05). Significantly higher PCV value was also observed in buffaloes with high fluke burdens compared with those with low or medium worm loads …

DISEASE IMPACTS ON MOOSE (ALCES ALCES) HEALTH AND ECOLOGY ALONG THEIR SOUTHERN RANGE LIMITS: PARASITES AS A LIMITING FACTOR IN NEW YORK
… (Parelaphostrongylus tenuis) and giant liver fluke (Fascioloides magna), incidentally infect and sometimes kill moose, resulting from spatial overlap with the parasites’ definitive host, white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). To determine whether parasites function as a limiting factor …

Characterisation of the Fasciola hepatica miRNome and an evaluation of its role in the host-parasite relationship
The liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica, is recognised as one of the most successful parasites worldwide due to its remarkable capacity to infect every mammal it encounters. For this reason, liver fluke disease, or fasciolosis, has the widest geographical spread of any parasite disease and contributes …

In Situ Diagnostics for Multiple Allergens in Food
… analysed by varying the space between two anchor flukes in a series of tests. The anchor shape had minimal effect on deep and intermediate soil failure mechanisms. For shallow failure mechanisms, increasing the spacing between the flukes resulted in an increased normalised anchor capacity. Due to …

Interactions Between Ants and Larvae of the Host- Manipulating Parasite, Dicrocoelium Dendriticum
… techniques to understand how larvae of the fluke, Dicrocoelium dendriticum, can so radically alter the behaviour of their ant, Formica aserva, hosts. My results showed that infected ants make decisions regarding substrate that uninfected hosts never make. They preferentially attached with …

Variations on a Sonnet: A Play and Accompanying Analysis
… about Shakespeare; in the Sonnets we have, by a fluke, something of this kind," says critic C. L. Barber in his Essay on Shakespeare's Sonnets (5). Barber goes on to point out that many scholars have proposed theories about the Sonnets' implications about Shakespeare's biography, and all such …

Feed the neighborhood : a recipe for neighborhood rejuvenation
… you have done it more than once then it is not a fluke and we should pay special attention. We focus on two men, Tony Goldman and Joe Englert. They are responsible for the successful rejuvenation of seven neighborhoods. My goal in writing this is to give others confidence that a neighborhood can …

Cellular mechanisms associated with chemotherapy induced ribosomal RNA disruption in ovarian cancer cells
The degradation of RNA is a ubiquitous process prevalent in all cells; employed to maintain nucleotide turnover, maturation, and quality control of RNA. A recent breast cancer clinical trial demonstrated that the degradation of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in tumour biopsies, referred to as RNA disruption, …
