Spring 2012
Development of progenitor cells into myeloid cells (i.e. macrophages and neutrophils) is critical to the survival of metazoans for maintenance of homeostasis and defense against pathogens. While much is known about myeloid cell development in mammals, less is known about this process in fish. The...

Studies on the mechanisms of immune evasion in Trypanosoma carassii infections of the goldfish (Carassius auratus)
DownloadSpring 2012
Parasites possess variety of mechanisms to modulate or evade host defence systems to maintain chronic infection and ensure their transmission. The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma carassii is infective to a number of freshwater fish species and can cause significant mortality in aquaculture. T....

In both mice and humans, defects in spermatogenesis, oogenesis, and pregnancy can all affect fertility. Spermatogenesis requires the constant renewal of spermatogonial stem cells, completion of meiosis, and an intricate remodeling process to form functional spermatozoa. Oogenesis similarly...

Succession, herbicides, forage nutrition and elk body condition at Mount St. Helens, Washington
DownloadSpring 2014
Concerns have been voiced over recent reductions in forest cutting, herbicide spraying, and past heavy grazing on nutritional resources for elk (Cervus elaphus) and their body condition in the Pacific Northwest. I evaluated the effects of herbicides and herbivory on elk forage in a paired,...

Patuwatha Withanage, Dayani B. M.
Certain slug species are considered agricultural and horticultural pests worldwide. Nematodes offer a potential solution as biocontrol agents in controlling slug populations due to their natural associations with terrestrial gastropods. In some cases, they provide higher specificity and more...
