项目摘要

0107384TylerThe International Research Fellow Awards Program enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twenty-four months of research abroad. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad.This award will provide twelve months of support to Dr. Gaines Tyler to work with Dr. Thomas H. Cribb at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia.This project will determine life-cycles for 9-12 species of tapeworms from elasmobranches (final hosts). DNA sequences from adult specimens will be used to construct a library. Larval stages will be identified by comparing their DNA sequences to sequences in the library. By identifying hosts for both adult and larva, the final stage of the life-cycle will be determined. This project will address the specificity of parasite-host relationships in these cestode species. The life cycles of tapeworms in elasmobranches are poorly known and this project will extend our knowledge.The research site, Australia's Great Barrier Reef, hosts one of the greatest diversities of elasmobranches in the world. Dr. Cribb has extensive experience in the resolution of flatworm life-cycles using molecular techniques.

0107384泰勒国际研究员奖励计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行三到二十四个月的研究。该计划的奖项提供了联合研究的机会，并使用独特或互补的设施，专业知识和国外的实验条件。该奖项将提供12个月的支持博士盖恩斯泰勒与博士托马斯H。该项目将确定来自板鳃类（最终宿主）的9-12种绦虫的生命周期。成人样本的DNA序列将用于构建文库。幼虫阶段将通过将其DNA序列与文库中的序列进行比较来鉴定。通过确定成虫和幼虫的宿主，将确定生命周期的最后阶段。本项目将解决这些绦虫物种的寄生虫-宿主关系的特异性。我们对板鳃类绦虫的生命周期知之甚少，而这项计划将扩展我们的知识。研究地点是澳大利亚的大堡礁，拥有世界上最大的板鳃类绦虫之一。 Cribb博士在使用分子技术解决扁形虫生命周期方面拥有丰富的经验。
