Currently, only a few chemical drug classes are available to control the global burden of nematode infections in humans and animals. Most of these drugs exert their anthelmintic activity by interacting with proteins such as ion channels, and the nema

Many anthelmintic drugs used to treat parasitic nematode infections target proteins that regulate electrical activity of neurons and muscles: ion channels (ICs) and neurotransmitter receptors (NTRs). Perturbation of IC/NTR function disrupts worm beha

The screening of candidate compounds and natural products for anthelmintic activity is important for discovering new drugs against human and animal parasites. We previously validated in Caenorhabditis elegans a microfluidic device (‘chip’) that r

Transmission of human malaria parasites (Plasmodium spp.) by Anopheles mosquitoes is a continuous process that presents a formidable challenge for effective control of the disease. Infectious gametocytes continue to circulate in humans for up to four

Steroid hormones act via evolutionarily conserved nuclear receptors to regulate neuronal phenotype during development, maturity and disease. Steroid hormones exert 'global' effects in organisms to produce coordinated physiological responses whereas,

Neuronal death occurs during normal development and disease and can be regulated by steroid hormones. In the hawkmoth, Manduca sexta, individual accessory planta retractor (APR) motoneurons undergo a segment-specific pattern of programmed cell death

Accessory planta retractor (APR) motoneurons of the hawk moth, Manduca sexta, undergo a segment-specific pattern of programmed cell death (PCD) 24 to 48 h after pupal ecdysis (PE). Cell culture experiments show that the PCD of APRs in abdominal segme

Each molt in the hawkmoth, Manduca sexta, culminates in the shedding of the old cuticle at ecdysis. Prior to each larval ecdysis, the old cuticle is loosened by pre-ecdysis behavior, which includes rhythmic, synchronous compressions in all abdominal
