The degradation of cat immunoglobulin G (IgG) in blood-fed adult C. felis midguts was examined. SDS-PAGE analysis of dissected midgut extracts obtained from C. felis that had been blood fed for various times between 0 to 44 h revealed that by 24 h mo

The on-host viability and fecundity of cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis (Bouche), confined within a novel chambering system are described. Using this system, all fleas and flea eggs are recovered from chambers after fleas have fed on cats. Thus, accu

Strain differences in midgut basal lamina thickness, assessed by measurement in transmission electron micrographs, and disseminated infection rates of dengue-1 virus were compared among three laboratory strains of Aedes albopictus (Skuse). Mean basal

Five geographical strains of Aedes albopictus (Skuse) were compared for their ability to transmit vertically a dengue-1 isolate from Jamaica. The OAHU strain of Ae. albopictus and a strain of Aedes aegypti (L.) from the United States were included as

We evaluated the Yersinia pestis capsular (fraction 1 [F1]) antigen as a potential oral immunogen in mice. We found that single doses of as much as 0.4 mg of F1, administered by intragastric (ig) intubation, were unprotective and did not stimulate pr

Yersinia pestis produces a glycoprotein capsule, the biosynthesis of which appears to be temperature dependent. The fraction I (F1) component of this capsule is specific to Y. pestis and the detection of F1 antibodies is the basis for several serolog

Ticks of the genus Ornithodoros feed on many rodent species with known roles in maintaining and amplifying plague (Yersinia pestis) in nature. Five species of ticks in this genus are shown to acquire the plague bacillus by feeding on infected hosts.

Passage of ingested cat immunoglobulin G (IgG) into the hemocoel of cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis (Bouché), was examined using antibody capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and Western blotting. Fleas were fed heparinized cat blood

The giant kangaroo rat, Dipodomys ingens (Merriam), has a limited distribution in the San Joaquin Valley, CA. Because of reductions in its geographic range, largely resulting from humans, the species was listed as an endangered species in 1980 by the
