In vitro efficacy of Duddingtonia flagrans against nematodes of sheep based on in vivo calculations

Abstract Duddingtonia flagrans has been tested as an alternative parasite control, but data from in vitro experiments based on in vivo calculations describing nematophagous fungi predation in nematodes are restricted. The objective of this work was to determine the efficacy of D. flagrans against sheep n...

The potassium impermeable apical membrane of insect epithelia: a target for development of safe pesticides

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 82 (supl.3), 1987
Columnar cell apical membranes (CCAM) in series with goblet cell apical membranes (GCAM) form an electroosmotic barrier separating the midgut lumen from epithelial cell cytoplasm. A unique K+ ATPase in GCAM generates three gradients across this barrier. A greater than 180 mV electrical gradient (lumen po...
