BODY ODOURS AS LURES FOR STOATS MUSTELA ERMINEA: CAPTIVE AND FIELD TRIALS


P2X3 receptors mediate visceral hypersensitivity during acute chemically-induced colitis and in the post-inflammatory phase via different mechanisms of sensitization.

ObjectivesExperiments using P2X3 knock-out mice or more general P2X receptor antagonists suggest that P2X3 receptors contribute to visceral hypersensitivity.We aimed to investigate the effect of the selective P2X3 antagonist A-317491 on visceral sensitivity under physiological conditions, during acute colitis and in the post-inflammatory phase of c

Seasonal morphological variations in bird schistosomes

The present work is a contribution to the systematics of Bilharziella and Dendritobilharzia.Wildfowl was killed in hunting seasons or found dead in Champagne-Ardenne region, France, and autopsied with focus on schistosomes.Seven Anas platyrhynchos (mallards), one Ardea cinerea (grey heron) and two Cygnus olor (mute swans) were parasitized by Bilhar
