ABSTRACT

As membranas plasmáticas das células intestinais dos insetos apresentam um domínio apical e outro basal. O domínio apical é geralmente modificado em microvilosidades com organização molecular similar a de outros animais, embora possam diferir naqueles insetos que apresentam vesículas secretoras em trânsito que brotam lateralmente ou destacam-se das extremidades das microvilosidades. Outras modificações microvilares estão associadas a bombeamento de prótons ou a interrelações com uma membrana lipídica (a membrana perimicrovilar) que reveste as microvilosidades de células intestinais de hemípteros (pulgões e percevejos). Admite-se que as membranas perimicrovilares estejam envolvidas na absorção de aminoácidos a partir de dietas diluídas. As membranas microvilares e perimicrovilares tem densidades distintas (e conteúdo protéico) que dependem do táxon do inseto. O papel desempenhado pelas proteínas microvilares e perimicrovilares na fisiologia intestinal dos insetos é revisto, procurando fornecer uma visão coerente dos dados e chamando a atenção para novos objetivos de pesquisa.

ABSTRACT

No presente estudo nós usamos microscopia eletrônica e confocal a laser para caracterizar morfologicamente os hemócitos de ninfas de quinto estádio em Rhodnius prolixus, bem como a resposta imune celular deste inseto contra partículas bióticas e abióticas ...

ABSTRACT

A new species of the Frankliniella cephalica group, from Central Costa Rica, is described under the name "Frankliniella morerai n.sp.". It is closely related to Frankliniella sandovalensis. Both species have translucent bodies, but the new species can be distinguished by these characteristics: setae io III in position 1/2, a complete comb on abdominal segment VIII, antennal segments without coloration and setae po IV longer. It was found in low density in crops of chilli, tomato, lettuce, sweet potato and coriander. A comparative table with other species of this group is included to facilitate diagnosis


Se describe una nueva especie de Frankliniella para el grupo cephalica: Frankliniella morerai. La nueva especie es similar a F. sandovalensis en el cuerpo translúcido, pero se distingue por las setas io III en posición 1/2, su peine completo en el segmento abdominal VIII, los segmentos antenales sin coloración y la seta po IV de mayor longitud. Se encontró en baja densidad en cultivos de chile, tomate, lechuga, camote y culantro. Se presenta un cuadro comparativo con las especies del grupo y se incluyen ilustraciones de la nueva especie

ABSTRACT

The hundgut microbiota of the termites Armitermes euamignathus, Cornitermes cumulans and Anoplotermes sp. was examined using transmission electron microscopy. A great variety of bacterial forms were detected and they comprise bacillus, spirochetes and coccus. Negatively stained preparations of the hindgut content showed more than six different bacterial morphotypes including bacteria devoid of flagellum and flagellate. The number of flagella and their distribution in the bacterial surface is also variable.

ABSTRACT

The eggs from oviparous organisms contain large amounts of vitellus, or yolk, wich are utilized by the growing embryo. Vitellogenesis is the process of vitellus accumulation and involves massive heterosynthetic synthesis of the protein vitellogenin (Vg) and its deposition in the oocyte. This work summarizes data on Vg structure, synthesis, uptake by oocytes and its fate during embryogenesis. The hormonal control of vitellogenesis and its tissue, sex and temporal regulation are also discussed. Where it is available, data on structure and expression of Vg-coding genes are reviewed. Insect vitellogenesis is priorized although other oviparous animal groups outside insects are also treated
