ORAL VERSUS INTRAGASTRIC INOCULATION: SIMILAR PATHWAYS OF TRYPANOSOMA CRUZI EXPERIMENTAL INFECTION? FROM TARGET TISSUES, PARASITE EVASION, AND IMMUNE RESPONSE

Oral Versus Intragastric Inoculation: Similar Pathways of Trypanosoma cruzi Experimental Infection? From Target Tissues, Parasite Evasion, and Immune Response

Currently, oral infection is the most frequent transmission mechanism of Chagas disease in Brazil and others Latin American countries.This transmission pathway presents increased mortality rate in the first 2 weeks, which is higher than the calculated mortality after the biting of infected insect vectors.Thus, the oral route of Trypanosoma cruzi in

Promoting student interest in plant biology through an inquiry-based module exploring plant circadian rhythm, gene expression, and defense against insects

ABSTRACTWe present a weeklong curricular module for high school biology students that promotes knowledge of phytohormones, the circadian clock, and the Central Dogma.The module, which relies on easily accessible items and requires minimal space, integrates a hands-on experiment that guides students through replicating research examining circadian e

On geometric polygroups

In this paper, we introduce a geodesic Internet Log Book metric space called generalized Cayley graph (gCay(P,S)) on a finitely generated polygroup.We define a hyperaction of polygroup on gCayley graph and give some properties of this hyperaction.We show that gCayley graphs of a polygroup by two different generators are quasi-isometric.Finally, we
