Ribosome Inactivating Proteins (RIPs) are compounds isolated from plants with ability to inhibit protein synthesis. The inhibition of protein synthesis is due to inactivation of ribosomal RNA through a site-specific deadenylation mediated by RNA N -g lycosid a se . Reportedly, RIPs mainly possess wide range of bioactivity including antiviral activity against plant infections. Other activities o…
Morphological observations were made on the adult filaria worms of nonperiodic from of B.malayi (32 worms), the new subspecles of the causative agent of filariasis in East Kalimanan (3,4). The filaria parasites were compared to the old subspecies of noctumally subperiodic form of B. malai (25 worms) from Kendari and the animal filaria B. pahangi (20 worms) which were also sympatic in East Kalim…
A new subspecies of human parasite filarial worm, i.e. nonperiodic from of Brugia malayi Lichrenstein, was reported from East Kalimantan. Based on the morphology, physiology or behavior, the Brugia type revealed very closely related to the animal parasite filarial worm of Brugia pahangi. This paper reports the results of further observations on other properties of filaria parasite, i.e clinical…
