Molecular mechanisms and comparative transcriptomics of diapause in two corn rootworm species (Diabrotica spp.) by Melise C. Lecheta, Chad Nielson, B. Wade French, Emily A.W. Nadeau, Nicholas M. Teets

“…Rootworms undergo an obligate embryonic diapause to synchronize their life cycles with host plants, and we sequenced transcriptomes from both species at five time points (pre-diapause, diapause initiation, diapause maintenance, diapause termination, and post-diapause). Our results indicate that transcriptional regulation is dynamic during diapause. …”

HISTOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF LYMPHOID MASSES OF THE STOMACH AND SMALL INTESTINE IN THE CLINICAL AND PATHOGENETIC PROFILE OF BABESIOSIS by I. I. Torianyk

“…A focal version of the nosological prototype was observed in individual specimens occasionally, presented as single cells (most often in the terminal parts of the organ). Histological changes of lymphoid masses of the stomach and small intestine in animals with babesiosis consisted in the development of expressive diffuse nodular hyperplasia with disorganization of the structure of lymphoid follicles, destruction of zonality of the latter, making it impossible to detect germinative centres.…”
