Male mites are the promising targets for control of Dermanyssus gallinae (Acari: Dermanyssidae) based on the reproductive biology research.

Dermanyssus gallinae is a significant hematophagous ectoparasite affecting laying hens. However, due to the limitations of research methods, especially feeding methods, the reproductive biology of D. gallinae has not been fully studied.

Resveratrol alleviates zea-induced decidualization disturbance in human endometrial stromal cells.

Decidualization, which endows the endometrium competency to adopt developing embryo and maintain appropriate milieu for following growth, is a pivotal process for human pregnancy. The delicate collaboration between ovarian steroid hormones estrogen and progesterone governs the process of decidualization and subsequent establishment of embryo implantation. Mycotoxin zearalenone (ZEA) is well known as endocrine disruptor due to its potent estrogenic activity.
