“…The prevalence of H. pylori reported here between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients is remarkably similar and it was nearly identical (72%) to the prevalence of H. pylori recently reported for another Georgian population [10]. At the same time, we were able to establish the prevalence of H. pylori by serologic methods and confirm that the prevalence of H. pylori is very similar to that reported in other developing countries by age groups and in both men and women among the Georgian population.…”

The prevalence of H. pylori reported here between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients is remarkably similar and it was nearly identical (72%) to the prevalence of H. pylori recently reported for another Georgian population [10]. Apparently, the remarkable similarity in H. pylori prevalence among the different studies and different populations in Georgia is not unusual and probably can be extended to a larger region based on the prevalence reported in other countries.…”

“…However, recent findings of the metabolizing enzyme which converts MF to JH – CYP15A1 – in M. rosenbergii 58 and S. verreauxi 59, specifically in the antennal gland (which is linked to the mandibular organ, the production site of MF), supports the notion that JH is an active hormone is crustaceans as well. Additionally, Diploptera punctata AST showed a stimulatory effect on MF synthesis in the mandibular organ of the adult crayfish P. clarkii 60. Silencing AST-A reduced egg and testes development in crickets, and the oviposition rate was drastically diminished in both species61.…”

The Australian redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) has recently received attention as an emerging candidate for sustainable aquaculture production in Australia and worldwide. More importantly, C. quadricarinatus serves as a good model organism for the commercially important group of decapod crustaceans as it is distributed worldwide, easy to maintain in the laboratory and its reproductive cycle has been well documented. In order to better understand the key reproduction and development regulating mechanisms in decapod crustaceans, the molecular toolkit available for model organisms such as C. quadricarinatus must be expanded. However, there has been no study undertaken to establish the C. quadricarinatus neuropeptidome. Here we report a comprehensive study of the neuropeptide genes expressed in the eyestalk in the Australian crayfish C. quadricarinatus. We characterised 53 putative neuropeptide-encoding transcripts based on key features of neuropeptides as characterised in other species. Of those, 14 neuropeptides implicated in reproduction regulation were chosen for assessment of their tissue distribution using RT-PCR. Further insights are discussed in relation to current knowledge of neuropeptides in other species and potential follow up studies. Overall, the resulting data lays the foundation for future gene-based neuroendocrinology studies in C. quadricarinatus.

“…The annual incidence rate of H. pylori infection is ≈4%-15% in developing countries, compared with ≈0.5% in industrialized countries (4). Studies in the Republic of Georgia (ROG), a developing country with an economy in transition, suggested that >70% of adults are infected with H. pylori (5,6) and that the prevalence rate of gastric cancer is 18 cases per 100,000 population, ≈6-to 9-fold higher than in the United States (National Center for Disease Control, Tbilisi, ROG, unpub. data, 2003).…”
