Study of physiological characteristics of \kur{Drosophila melanogaster} IDGF mutants
KOCIÁNOVÁ, Jitka
Products of Drosophila Idgf genes comprise a small protein family, related to chitinases. The main function of these proteins is to support cell proliferation and activate immune responses. IDGF proteins are present in large quantity in the hemolymph, especially during infections. In this study, I compared the speed of hemolymph cloting, the number and morphological properties of hemocytes after infection by entopathogenic nematodes and parasitic wasps. The results confirm the role of Idgf genes in Drosophila immune system.
The destiny of oocysts of \kur{Cryptosporidium} spp. in the enviroment in contact with different kinds of invertebrates
KOCIÁNOVÁ, Jitka
This study deals with occurrence, dispersion and destruction of Cryptosporidium oocysts in a particular environment. It therefore focuses on the contact with different kinds of invertebrates. It reveals, how oocysts get to contact with the invertebrates and what happens to them, whether they pass through their body and digestive tract. Next, the study describes, what happens, if the oocysts are excreted because some of the invertebrates could digest and destruct the oocysts and the other invertebrates could act the role of transmitters. The other information is about different methods, which can be used for detecting the oocysts in the environment or in the bodies of different kinds of invertebrates.
