Parasitylenchus bifurcatus n. sp. (Tylenchida: Allantonematidae) parasitizing Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Abstract Background The harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis Pallas (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is native to central and eastern Asia and was purposely introduced into Europe to control aphids.While it proved to be a good biological control agent, its rapid spread and buildup of large populations made it a nuisance, since it overwinters in homes,

Additive neuroprotective effects of a histone deacetylase inhibitor and a catalytic antioxidant in a transgenic mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

ALS is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder for which no effective treatment exists.Multiple molecular mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis.We tested the catalytic antioxidant AEOL 10150, the histone deacetylase inhibitor phenylbutyrate (PBA), and the combination of PBA and AEOL 10150 in the G93A Coaxial Cable transgenic mouse model, adm
