Burning in woman’s legs turned out to be slug parasites migrating to her brain
the larvae develop into third-stage larvae (L3). Rats are infected with these L3 larvae by eating an infected slug or snail. From the rat's gastrointestinal tract, the larvae migrate to the animal ...

The Drosophila EGF domain protein Uninflatable sets the switch between wrapping glia growth and axon wrapping instructed by Notch
This important study identifies a new key factor in orchestrating the process of glial wrapping of axons in Drosophila wandering larvae. The evidence supporting the claims of the authors is convincing ...

Evaluation of DNA Extraction Methods on Individual Helminth Egg and Larval Stages for Whole-Genome Sequencing
The larvae were stored at room temperature for 2 h before placing them onto the Whatman ® FTA ® cards. To obtain third-stage (L3) larvae, eggs were isolated from fresh feces from a research ...

Is it possible to reconstruct an accurate cell lineage using CRISPR recorders?
We incorporate empirical data on CRISPR-induced mutation frequencies in Drosophila. We show significant impacts ... at different developmental stages (end of embryogenesis, late L3 larvae, newly ...

Silent Witness: Dual-Species Transcriptomics Reveals Epithelial Immunological Quiescence to Helminth Larval Encounter and Fostered Larval Development
We thus performed a time-resolved RNA-Seq transcriptional profiling of both, A. suum L3 larvae and porcine epithelial cells (IPEC-J2) to examine the early and comprehensive transcription of genes ...
