Multiple mechanisms have evolved for the defensive recognition of foreign components, such as microorganisms. The majority of immunological studies with vertebrates have been focused on endothermic species, and relatively little attention has been di

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) form an ancient family of innate immune receptors that detect microbial structures and activate the host immune response. Most subfamilies of TLRs (including TLR3, TLR5, and TLR7) are highly conserved among vertebrate speci

The innate immune activity of the freshwater turtle Phrynops geoffroanus (Schweigger, 1812) was investigated, using a sheep-red-blood cell hemolysis assay. The time- and concentration-dependent hemolytic activity of the turtle plasma was low compared

Some animals routinely endure serious injuries from predators or during intraspecific territorial conflicts. Such is the case for Amphiuma tridactylum , an aquatic salamander that lives in an environment rich in potentially infectious microbes, appar

Wing samples from mottled ducks (Anas fulvigula) were collected from federal, state, and private hunting areas in Texas, Louisiana, and Florida during the 1987–1988 waterfowl season. The upper wing bone (humerus) was analyzed for lead content to de
