Polymorphic microsatellite loci were characterised for two louse species, the anopluran Polyplax serrata Burmeister, 1839, parasitising Eurasian field mice of the genus Apodemus Kaup, and the amblyceran Myrsidea nesomimi Palma et Price, 2010, found on mocking birds endemic to the Galápagos Islands. Evolutionary histories of the two parasites show complex patterns influenced both by their geographic distribution and through coevolution with their respective hosts, which renders them prospective evolutionary models. In P. serrata, 16 polymorphic loci were characterised and screened across 72 individuals from four European populations that belong to two sympatric mitochondrial lineages differing in their breadth of host-specificity. In M. nesomimi, 66 individuals from three island populations and two host species were genotyped for 15 polymorphic loci. The observed heterozygosity varied from 0.05 to 0.9 in P. serrata and from 0.0 to 0.96 in M. nesomimi. Deviations from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were frequently observed in the populations of both parasites. Fst distances between tested populations correspond with previous phylogenetic data, suggesting the microsatellite loci are an informative resource for ecological and evolutionary studies of the two parasites., Jana Martinů, Veronika Roubová, Milena Nováková, Vincent S.

This article presents a study of the state of vegetative balance and prognostic possibilities of quantitative parameters of functional activity of VNS to estimate a state of bodily adaptive reserves in children with severe BA. Bronchial asthma, being one of the most common chronic diseases in childhood, requires further research into predisposing and causally-significant factors, mechanisms of pathogenesis and peculiarities of a clinical course, improvement of methods of diagnostics, treatment, and prevention. Great importance in the development of bronchial asthma in children is given to genetically-fixed functional insufficiency of barrier tissues of the respiratory system, increased ability to synthesize allergic antibodies and produce certain cytokines, high bronchopulmonary sensitivity to mediators of allergic inflammation, lowered sensitivity of 3g-adrenoreceptors to endogenous catecholamins, changes in immunologic responsiveness, and disorder of neuroendocrinal regulation of immune responses. Implementation of genetic predisposition to bronchial asthma development is promoted by influence of adverse environmental factors., Hurmatoy Khankeldieva, Ibrohim Alimjanov, Habiba Negmatshaeva, Mavjuda Abdullaeva, Temur Tojiboev, Marifat Ganieva, and Literatura
