Distribución y patología causada por Bothriocephalus acheilognathi, Yamaguti 1934 (Cestoda: Bothriocephalidae). Revisión bibliográfica

La tenia asiática o tenia asiática de pez, Bothriocephalus acheilognathi, es oriunda de Asia Oriental y en las últimas décadas se ha extendido ampliamente a lo largo del mundo por diversas actividades humanas desarrolladas en todos los continentes. Ejemplos de tales actividades son los traslados de peces para satisfacer demandas de la piscicultura, el comercio de los ejemplares, la disputa por áreas acuáticas, el control de los mosquitos y más recientemente la pesca de peces. Además, las aves que se alimentan de peces infectados, pueden transportar huevos del cestode y diseminarlos a través de la defecación. Estimativamente, B. acheilognathi se ha reportado en unas 200 especies de peces de agua dulce, y este amplio rango de hospedadores colaboró en su establecimiento, aunque el parásito es principalmente reportado en las carpas salvajes y cultivadas. Ello constituye un problema para la acuacultura y se sospecha que afecta adversamente y pone en peligro a las especies silvestres. Es considerado como un patógeno de importancia regional (PRI) por el Servicio de Peces y Vida Silvestre de los Estados Unidos (US Fish and Wildlife Service, 2015). El principal vector de su propagación parece ser la introducción de su huésped natural, la carpa asiática Ctenopharyngodon idella, para su uso en acuacultura o para el control de vegetación acuática. En la actualidad, el principal vehículo de expansión de este parásito es la carpa común (koi carp, pez mosquito), aunque probablemente también intervengan otros peces. La tenia asiática es patógena para los peces de agua dulce, especialmente carpas jóvenes y alevines, pudiendo causar gran pérdida económica en los criaderos y granjas de peces. Tiene habilidad para colonizar nuevas regiones y adaptarse a un amplio espectro de peces hospederos. Ella representa uno de los ejemplos más impresionantes y deplorables de un parásito ampliamente diseminado por el hombre, asistido por movimientos de peces. El grado de diseminación y éxito de la colonización fue favorecido por la distribución cosmopolita de los huéspedes intermediario y definitiv

Geometri 3 Dimention or Solids or also called three dimensional that have content or volume and limited by the sides. Usually the lesson about solids are given with a simple way. This way is less attractive for students because today when the technology is growing very rapidly they prefer learning using interactive media. Because of that they are need an application or computerized learning media to facilitate the users to understand the lesson of solids.Therefore, in the process of making the application, the data is collected based on the questionnaire. This application is contain with the information that connected with math about the solids that can be used by students as a learning media or being reminder for students about the lessons that has been given and could help the students doing calculation. The making of this application based on windows by using java netbeans

{1-[1-(3-Carboxy­propanamido)eth­yl]-1′,2-bis­(diphenyl­phosphino)ferrocene-κ2 P,P′}dichloridoplatinum(II) dichloro­methane 1.25-solvate

The dinuclear title compound, [FePtCl2(C17H14P)(C23H23NO3P)]·1.25CH2Cl2, has a slightly distorted cis-PtCl2P2 square-planar geometry around the Pt atom, and the ferrocenylphosphine ligands are staggered at an angle of 29.4 (2)° about Pt. In the crystal structure, the complex forms centrosymmetric dimers via two strong inter­molecular O—H⋯O bonds resulting in R 2 2(8) rings. A weak intra­molecular N—H⋯Cl bond leads to an S(8) motif. The solvent is highly disordered and has not been modelled with discrete atoms

Marked Variation Between Winter and Spring Gut Microbiota in Freeranging Tibetan Macaques (Macaca thibetana)

Variation in the availability and distribution of food resources is a strong selective pressure on wild primates. We explored variation in Tibetan macaque gut microbiota composition during winter and spring seasons. Our results showed that gut microbial composition and diversity varied by season. In winter, the genus Succinivibrio, which promotes the digestion of cellulose and hemicellulose, was significantly increased. In spring, the abundance of the genus Prevotella, which is associated with digestion of carbohydrates and simple sugars, was significantly increased. PICRUSt analysis revealed that the predicted metagenomes related to the glycan biosynthesis and metabolic pathway was significantly increased in winter samples, which would aid in the digestion of glycan extracted from cellulose and hemicellulose. The predicted metagenomes related to carbohydrate and energy metabolic pathways were significantly increased in spring samples, which could facilitate a monkey’s recovery from acute energy loss experienced during winter. We propose that shifts in the composition and function of the gut microbiota provide a buffer against seasonal fluctuations in energy and nutrient intake, thus enabling these primates to adapt to variations in food supply and quality

Net precipitation over the Baltic Sea for one year using several methods

Precipitation and evaporation over the Baltic Sea are calculated for a one-year period from September 1998 to August 1999 by four different tools, the two atmospheric regional models HIRLAM and REMO, the oceanographic model PROBE-Baltic in combination with the SMHI (1 × 1)° database and Interpolated Fields, based essentially on ship measurements. The investigated period is slightly warmer and wetter than the climatological mean. Correlation coefficients of the differently calculated latent heat fluxes vary between 0.81 (HIRLAM and REMO) and 0.56 (SMHI/PROBE-Baltic and Interpolated Fields), while the correlation coefficients between model fluxes and measured fluxes range from 0.61 and 0.78. Deviations of simulated and interpolated monthly precipitation over the Baltic Sea are less than ±5 mm in the southern Baltic and up to 20 mm near the Finnish coast for the one-year period. The methods simulate the annual cycle of precipitation and evaporation of the Baltic Proper in a similar manner with a broad maximum of net precipitation in spring and early summer and a minimum in late summer. The annual averages of net precipitation of the Baltic Proper range from 57 mm (REMO) to 262 mm (HIRLAM) and for the Baltic Sea from 96 mm (SMHI/PROBE-Baltic) to 209 mm (HIRLAM). This range is considered to give the uncertainty of present-day determination of the net precipitation over the Baltic Sea
