Schistosoma mansoni: egg-induced downregulation of hepatic stellate cell activation and fibrogenesis (2010)
Journal Article
Anthony, B., Mathieson, W., de Castro-Borges, W., & Allen, J. (2010). Schistosoma mansoni: egg-induced downregulation of hepatic stellate cell activation and fibrogenesis. Experimental Parasitology, 124(4), 409-420. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.exppara.2009.12.009

Eggs of Schistosoma mansoni trapped in human liver can lead to fibrosis. Since liver fibrosis requires activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSC) from a quiescent to a myofibroblastic phenotype, we investigated the effects of S. mansoni eggs on this...

Characterisation of adult green lacewing (Chrysoperla carnea) digestive physiology: impact of a cysteine protease inhibitor and a synthetic pyrethroid (2010)
Journal Article
Mulligan, E., Ferry, N., Jouanin, L., Romeis, J., & Gatehouse, A. (2010). Characterisation of adult green lacewing (Chrysoperla carnea) digestive physiology: impact of a cysteine protease inhibitor and a synthetic pyrethroid. Pest Management Science, 66(3), 325-36. https://doi.org/10.1002/ps.1879

This study demonstrates the potential for pest management to impact on predators, but importantly it highlights the ability of the predator to detoxify/respond to treatments with different modes of action. In this case, exposure to an insecticide car...
