This WWW site is designed as an aid for nematode identification and systematic research, as well as a general resource for the science of Nematology. The emphasis is on plant parasitic nematodes and insect parasitic nematodes . The molecular diagnostic protocols are those used in the laboratory, some designed by us, and others adapted from the literature. One major effort is the characterization of plant parasitic nematodes from the northern great plains of North America. Also you will find documents relating to nematode control and summaries of federally funded regional research projects. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The aim of the German Society for Parasitology is the union of all scientifically interested parasitologists in order to foster the advancement of parasitology through professional collaboration, to exchange experience with other countries and to support junior scientists. To this end, the Society holds a scientific conference every 2 years and organizes interim symposia and workshops. ... [Information of the supplier]
A gall is an abnormal growth produced by the host organism in response to the presence of another living organism . If the host is a plant, we call it a plant gall. The galls can be caused by animals (zoocecidia) and also by plants (phytocecidia) or fungi. The most familiar galls are caused by midges, wasps, mites and fungi, but gall-inducing organisms can be found in many more groups of organisms. This website will show you some of them. ...

Der aufmerksame Naturfreund findet an Pflanzen immer wieder auffällige Wachstumserscheinungen. Häufig handelt es sich hierbei um Gallen (Cecidien), d.h. um typische Wachstumsleistungen der Pflanze auf Grund der Einwirkung eines Gallenerzeugers tierischer oder pflanzlicher Natur. Für Deutschland fehlt eine leicht zugängliche systematische Zusammenstellung von Gallenfotos im Internet zur Information. Diese "Fotogalerie Pflanzengallen" möchte zu einer schnellen Orientierung auf diesem Gebiet beitragen. Insbesondere versteht sie sich als eine zusätzliche Illustration zu den Bestimmungstabellen der Gallen (Zoo- und Phytocecidien) an Pflanzen Mitteleuropas von Dr. Herbert Buhr ...

The p53 tumor suppressor gene was initially identified as being essential for the DNA damage checkpoint, but it was subsequently found to have a broader function after cellular stress, such as oncogene activation or hypoxia. The p53 protein functions as a tetrameric transcription factor found at very low levels in normal unstressed cells. After stress, different pathways lead to post-translational modification of the protein and its stabilization. p53 database contains 16,000+ entries corresponding to TP53 mutations found in tumors, normal skin, and noncancerous diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. The database also includes germline mutations found in Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) and LFS-like syndrome. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The HIV databases contain data on HIV genetic sequences, immunological epitopes, drug resistance-associated mutations, and vaccine trials. The website also gives access to a large number of tools that can be used to analyze these data. This project is funded by the Division of AIDS of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). ...

The tasks of the Robert Koch Institute include the monitoring of emerging diseases and risk factors in the general population as well as the provision of scientific research. This allows appropriate measures to protect the general public health to be taken in a rapid and effective way. These tasks make the RKI the central institution and the coordination centre for the Federal Ministry for Health for applied and basic research in the areas of infectious diseases, including infection epidemiology and epidemiology of non-transmissible diseases. On this basis, the RKI is in the position to suggest measures for intervention and prevention, to fill gaps in the knowledge and ensure the quality of health screening and care. The RKI takes part in the preparation of guidelines, recommendations and expert opinions for the federal government, the parliament, the scientific sector and other health-related political issues. ...
