Journal ArticleDOI
A House Fly Gene Homologous to the Zinc Finger Proto-oncogene Gfi-1
Shinji Kasai,Jeffrey G. Scott +1 more
TL;DR: Using PCR, a Gfi-1 homologous cDNA was cloned from the house fly, Musca domestica, suggesting this may be an important transcription factor in many taxa.
Journal Article
Dispersal of a blow fly, Calliphora nigribarbis, in relation to the dissemination of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus.
Yoshio Tsuda,Toshihiko Hayashi,Yukiko Higa,Keita Hoshino,Shinji Kasai,Takashi Tomita,Hiromu Kurahashi,Mutsuo Kobayashi +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that C. nigribarbis could play a role in the mechanical dissemination of avian influenza virus and spread of the outbreak in Japan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concomitant identification of subspecies and insecticide resistance-associated mutations in the mosquito Culex pipiens complex by primer extension-based genotyping
Osamu Komagata,Shinji Kasai,Itsumi Obara,Naoki Motoyama,Ikuo Tanaka,Mutsuo Kobayashi,Takashi Tomita +6 more
TL;DR: The SNaPshot assay, a primer extension-based genotyping method, was applied to the identification of both insecticide resi$tance-associated point rnutations at insecticidal active sites and the mosquito subspecies distributed in Japan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential tissue distribution of two acetylcholinesterase transcripts in the German cockroach, Blattella germanica
Hiroshi Mizuno,Suenghyup Oh,Osamu Komagata,Shinji Kasai,Hiroshi Honda,Yoshiaki Kono,Takashi Tomita +6 more
TL;DR: Results show that p-Ace is better as an insecticidal target because of its abundant transcripts in nervous tissue, and the roles of o-Aces, which is present ubiquitously without secretion into the hemolymph in insects, are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
cDNA identification and gene expression of two types of acetylcholinesterases in a cultured cell line of Aedes albopictus, compared to mosquito whole body extracts
TL;DR: Two cDNA sequences containing open reading frames encoding two types of acetylcholinesterase (A ChE) precursors, Ace-orthologous AChE (AO-AChE) and Ace-paralogous A ChE (AP-A chE), with 635 residues and 702 residues, respectively, were determined in Aedes albopictus by PCR-based techniques.
