Monoxenous trypanosomatids of invertebrates
Havlová, Jolana ; Votýpka, Jan (advisor) ; Varga, Vladimír (referee)
The class Kinetoplastea contains free-living and parasitic species. One of the most dominant group within the class is the order Trypanosomatida which includes obligate parasites (Trypanosoma, Leishmania) infecting a wide range of hosts. Some species are serious pathogens of humans and domestic animals and cause considerable losses. However, the majority of trypanosomatids belongs to monoxenous parasites of insect which are usually harmless to their hosts. Monoxenous trypanosomatids predominantly infect Hemiptera and Diptera. This diploma thesis is focused on the detection of monoxenous trypanosomatids in cockroaches captured in the Czech Republic and cockroaches from different breedings. Cockroaches are very suitable mechanical vectors of many different pathogens (including parasites) and are significant health threat for humans and animals. First trypanosomatids in cockroaches were documented at the beginning of the 20th century, but there is no study focused on this topic specifically. Another aim of this thesis is morphological and ultramicroscopic analysis and the study of the host specificity of the recently described species Herpetomonas tarakana, isolated from a cockroach. My findings were partly used in the already published study "Diversity of trypanosomatids in cockroaches and the...

The disappointment of the Western intellectual in the twentieth century (in Saul Bellow's novels Mr. Sammler's Planet and Herzog)
Slováčková, Hana ; Ulmanová, Hana (advisor) ; Roraback, Erik Sherman (referee)
Saul Bellow's main characters are frequently persons who convey their experience with reality in the contemporary Western society. The concrete phenomena - their individual experiences fold up into a more conclusive reflection and lead to the comprehension of reality on a general level. And it is disappointment that best characterizes the resulting knowledge. The novels I selected for the thorough analysis, Mr.Sammler's Planet and Herzog, both depict and encounter of man with reality. The reflection of this encounter is presented by scholarly men, Mr. Sammler and Moses E. Herzog. Despite the fact that they are fictitious characters, their knowledge of Western thinkers makes them 'real' intellectual critics of the contemporary time. They connect through their theoretical scholarship and their personal lives, observations and experiences. The outcome is an account of the state of the contemporary Western society in the light of a broader understanding of its development. The course of that development or transformation can be analyzed with the help of works of influential Western thinkers for their reasoning always arises from the conditions of their present time. Their works containing novel concepts have impact on the future development but also inevitably reflect the past development. This is the reason...

Synanthropic arthropods as a producers of allergens in households
Smetanová, Ivana ; Hubert, Jan (advisor) ; Frouz, Jan (referee)
This work is about arthropods producing allergens in our homes. It sums together not just todays knowledge about allergic effects in human environment and possible diseases, but also about behavior, occurrence and life cycle of species themself and about possible elimination arthropods and allergens from our households. Most of the world population is nowadays affected by the allergies, allergens are all around us. In today's world when people spend most of the time in the interior enviroment whitch contains allergens and their sources, are also important allergic diseases caused by the arthropods, which we share our homes with. Almost in every room in our home are present some of the arthropods producing allergens. These allergens can affect the life of sensitive persons. Allergens are inside the body of the arthropods and in their body secretions. The highest volume of allergens coming from arthropods in our homes is contained in a dust and food. Allergic reaction is caused by consummation, inhalation or body contact. The cheapest and the most effective treatment of the allergic diseases is to avoid the allergens. The best what we can do is to regulate their volume in our households, because the complete elimination is practically impossible. Key words: Allergens, synanthropic arthropods, households
