Synthetic studies on farnesene isomers and homologues from the Dufour glands of ants
Thesis
(1982). Synthetic studies on farnesene isomers and homologues from the Dufour glands of ants

(Z,E)-q-farnesene and its homologues homo-, bishomo- and trishomo-farnesenes had been identified as constituents, of the Dufour gland secretion of several species of Myrmica ant. Although farnesene isomers had been found previously in plant and insec... Read More about Synthetic studies on farnesene isomers and homologues from the Dufour glands of ants.

Echinococcus granulosus: studies on the development of the metacestode tegument.
Thesis
(1987). Echinococcus granulosus: studies on the development of the metacestode tegument

Protoscoleces of the horse strain of Echinococcus granulosus were successfully cultured both in vitro and in BALB/c mice to produce small hydatid cysts. In vitro cysts were formed from vesiculating protoscoleces and also from posterior bladders and p... Read More about Echinococcus granulosus: studies on the development of the metacestode tegument..
