Abstract:
Objective: To characterize clozapine-induced fever and suggest clinically relevant management recommendations. Data Sources: Literature was accessed through MEDLINE (1966–June 2007) using the terms clozapine, fever, and adverse effects. In addition, reference citations from publications identified were reviewed. Study Selection and Data Extraction: All English-language articles about human studies ot fever associated with the use of clozapine were evaluated. Data Synthesis: Mild to high-grade fever frequently accompanies clozapine therapy. Fever usually occurs within 10–15 days after treatment initiation and has been reported to last between 2 and 4 days. The mechanism and clinical implications of clozapine-induced fever are unclear. The primary concern for clinicians, with regard to these fevers, is the possibility of 2 serious conditions: agranulocytosis with infection or neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). However, the presence of fever during clozapine therapy does not appear to predict agranulocytosis, NMS, or an increased rate of drug discontinuation at 1 year. Conclusions: Available data suggest that clozapine-induced fevers are benign: once infectious and other medical causes for fever are ruled out, clozapine therapy can be continued.

Abstract:
A patient diagnosed with dengue fever was recently treated at a hospital in California. This rare case raises the concern that dengue fever may become a larger threat in the future for the contiguous United States, which is not currently considered endemic for the disease. Over the past decade, there has been an increase in the number of cases; therefore, dengue fever must be given greater consideration in the differential diagnosis, especially with a patient travel history to endemic parts of the world. This case report examines the management of a patient presenting with dengue fever and demonstrates that continued vigilance, prompt testing, and patient education can improve patient care and decrease disease prevalence in the future.

Abstract:
Despite decades of research about educational interventions to correct parents' childhood fever management their knowledge remains poor and practices continue to be based on beliefs about harmful outcomes. The purpose of this thesis was to 1) identify Australian parents' fever management knowledge, attitudes, practices and methods of learning to manage fever and 2) undertake a theoretical exploration of the determinants of parents' intentions to reduce fever using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Two studies were undertaken: a qualitative study with 15 parents; and survey of 401 Queensland parents with a child aged between 6 months and 5 years. Parents determine childhood fever through behavioural changes they have learnt to associate with fever. Few were aware of the immunological beneficial effects associated with fever and most believed fever harmful causing febrile convulsions and brain damage. To prevent harm they monitored temperatures, used antipyretics, dressed children in light clothing and sponged them with tepid, cool or cold water. Despite believing antipyretics harmful most parents reduced temperatures of 38.3 degrees Celsius ± 0.6 degrees Celsius with antipyretics, alternating two antipyretics when fever was not reduced or returned. In addition to temperature reduction antipyretics were used to reduce distress or general unwellness and pain or discomfort. Multiple factors were used to determine antipyretic dosage including temperature, irritability and illness severity. Over one-third of parents had overdosed their child with too frequent antipyretic administration; more frequently with ibuprofen than paracetamol, 12:1. Fever management information was learnt from numerous sources. Doctors were the most frequently reported followed by personal experience. With the variety of information sources nearly half received conflicting information about how to manage fever increasing concerns and creating uncertainty about how to best care for their child. Despite this many believed they knew how to manage fever. Some parents' practices changed over time as a result of either positive or negative experiences with fever indicating more positive or negative attitudes toward fever. Positive experiences reduced antipyretic and medical service use; negative ones had the adverse effect with increase in antipyretic use including alternating antipyretics and double dosing with one antipyretic. Child medication behaviours also influenced attitudes and practice intentions. Parents of children who readily took antipyretics had more negative attitudes and intended to reduce their child's next fever with antipyretics. Negative attitudes were a significant determinant of fever management intentions. Parents' practices were strongly influenced by their perception that doctors and partners expected them to reduce fever. This expectation from partners is understandable; from doctors it is not and indicates doctors' propensity to recommend reducing fever. There is an urgent need to identify doctors' fever management beliefs and rationales for practice recommendations. Parents also learn to manage fever from nurses and pharmacists; their beliefs and management rationales must also be determined and addressed. There is an urgent need to educate parents about evidence-based fever management and reduce their unnecessary antipyretic use. They must be encouraged to delay antipyretic administration using them to reduce pain rather than fever. Findings from this thesis have identified the determinants of parents' intentions to reduce fever; negative attitudes and normative influences and positive child medication behaviours. Future studies should examine the efficiency and cost effectiveness of fever management educational programs for parents using different presentation methods in multiple settings.

Abstract:
Most families and children have coped with fever at least once in their lifetime regardless of ethnicity or culture. The purpose of this descriptive study was to describe how Afro-American parents' perceive and manage fever in their school age child. Roy's Adaptation model was used to guide this study. A convenient sample of 50 Afro-American parents of children ages 6-12 years was selected for this study. Parents were explained this study and asked to complete the questionnaire, based on their school age child. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square, where applicable. Findings revealed that Afro-American parents, in this study, had misconceptions concerning the beginning of fever, the height of fever, harmful affects of fever and believing that all fevers needed to be treated. Many Afro-American's in this study overtreated fever. All these misconceptions are areas which nurses can provide parents with current information.

Abstract:
This thesis examined malaria test use, adherence and integration into clinical practice for improved pediatric fever management in sub-Saharan African countries and explored Access, Facility Readiness and Clinical Practice bottlenecks to achieve this program goal. Study I examined diagnostic testing rates and its determinants for pediatric fevers across 13 countries in 2009-2012 including Access bottlenecks. Study II evaluated the effect of testing on treatment decisions at the population level in 12 countries in 2010-2012 and explored reasons for varying country results across Access, Facility Readiness and Clinical Practice bottlenecks. Study III explored Facility Readiness and Clinical Practice bottlenecks for using malaria diagnosis for improved pediatric fever management in Mbarara District Uganda. Study IV examined integrated pediatric fever management using RDT and IMCI in Malawi health facilities in 2013-2014 including Facility Readiness and Clinical Practice bottlenecks. Malaria testing of pediatric fevers was low (17%) and inequitable at the outset of new guidelines with febrile children in least poor household more often tested than in poorest (OR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.39-1.91) (Study I). Significant variability was found in the effect of testing on ACT use across countries (e.g. Uganda OR: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.66-1.06; Mozambique OR: 3.54, 95% CI: 2.33-5.39). Four main themes explained varying results: available diagnostics and medicines; quality of care; care-seeking behavior; and malaria epidemiology (Study II). In Mbarara District Uganda malaria over-treatment for RDT-negative results reportedly occurred and was driven by RDT perceptions, system constraints and provider-client interactions (Study III). In Malawi health facilities, there was common compliance to malaria treatment guidelines in sick child consultations. 72% were tested or referred for malaria diagnosis and 85% with RDT-confirmed malaria were prescribed first-line anti-malarials. Yet integrated pediatric fever management was sub-optimal in terms of other assessments completed and antibiotic targeting. 28% with IMCI-pneumonia were not prescribed any antibiotic and 59% ‘without antibiotic need’ were prescribed any antibiotic. Few eligible clients had respiratory rates counted to identify antibiotic need for IMCI-pneumonia (18%). RDT-negative children had 16.8 (95% CI: 8.6-32.7) times higher antibiotic over-treatment odds compared to positive cases and this effect was conditioned by cough or difficult breathing complaints (Study IV). Thesis findings highlight Access, Facility Readiness and Clinical Practice bottlenecks that need to be addressed to use malaria diagnosis for improved pediatric fever management. Programs must move beyond malaria-focused ‘test and treat’ strategies towards ‘IMCI with testing’ in order to conceptualize RDT as one part of the established algorithm for managing sick children in an integrated manner. RDT should also be viewed as an important entry point for contributing to ongoing health system strengthening efforts.

Abstract:
Stroke is Australia’s second highest cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability (1- 3). Several factors influence morbidity and mortality after ischaemic stroke, including fever, hyperglycaemia and swallowing dysfunction (4-8). Early detection and treatment of these three physiological variables should be a priority (4-8). National and international guidelines (9-13) provide recommendations for the management of fever, hyperglycaemia and swallowing dysfunction following acute stroke; however, only a small proportion of Australians receive evidence-based care (14-18). Prior studies have identified that the distribution alone of guidelines will not change clinician behaviour (19); thus, further research is required to identify effective behaviour change interventions to promote the uptake of guideline recommendations and evidence-based practice. This thesis presents three studies conducted by the candidate as part of the Quality in Acute Stroke Care (QASC) cluster randomised controlled trial (CRCT) conducted from July 2005 to October 2010 in 19 stroke units located in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. The aim of the QASC trial was to develop, implement and evaluate a multifaceted behaviour change intervention to promote stroke guideline recommendations and evidence-based management for fever, hyperglycaemia and swallowing dysfunction within the first three days following hospital admission for acute stroke. The QASC multifaceted behaviour change intervention comprised evidence-based clinical treatment protocols (referred to as the fever (Fe), sugar (S) and swallow (S) [FeSS] protocols), supported by team-building workshops (to identify local barriers to change) and site-based education and support. The QASC trial resulted in significantly improved patient outcomes in intervention stroke units, explained in full later in this thesis (1). As part of the QASC trial, the candidate conducted three studies. Specifically, the aim was to (i) establish monitoring and treatment practices within NSW stroke units for fever hyperglycaemia and swallowing dysfunction prior to the implementation of the QASC intervention; (ii) investigate NSW stroke unit nurse unit managers’ (NUMs) perceptions of self-leadership ability, organisational learning, attitudes and beliefs towards evidence-based practice (EBP), and organisational readiness for change also prior to the implementation of the QASC intervention; and (iii) conduct a process evaluation parallel to the QASC trial to assist in the interpretation of the QASC patient outcome results at the conclusion of the trial.

Abstract:
Magister Public Health - MPH
In Zambia, there had been a large scaling up of new interventions to control malaria since 2003, which included the distribution of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), used to immediately determine if someone with symptoms suggestive of malaria actually has malaria; training of health workers in the use of the RDTs; and the prescription of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) to which the malaria parasite is sensitive, rather than the old treatment regime of chloroquine to which the malaria parasite had become resistant. The use of RDTs to confirm the presence of malaria before treating for it with ACT became known as the „test and treat‟ policy. Previously, since the 1960s, in malaria endemic areas such as Zambia, children presenting with fever (the commonest symptom of malaria) without any obvious other cause for the fever, were assumed to have malaria and were hence treated for it with chloroquine. This was known as "presumptive treatment" of malaria. The combination of "presumptive treatment" and the use of a single medication led to the development of high levels of resistance to chloroquine, to the extent that it is now no longer an effective treatment for malaria. Years after the introduction of the "test and treat" policy, it was still unclear to what extent it was being implemented, as there was initial reluctance by health workers to test all children presenting with fever for malaria and if they did test they may not have followed the management guidelines of treating those who test positive with ACT and further investigating those who test negative for the cause of the fever. It seemed that staff had gotten used to the "presumptive treatment" approach to malaria over almost 4 decades and hence were quite reluctant to abandon it. The conflicting guidelines for malaria treatment in children between IMCI and "test and treat‟ has promoted a paradox between presumptive treatment for malaria and "test and treat" approach as IMCI teaches health workers to treat febrile children presumptively for malaria whereas the "test and treat" approach requires them to first make a definitive diagnosis before treating. Hence although the "test and treat" approach was instituted to overcome the problems with presumptive treatment approach it now had to contend with the competing and contradictory influence of the IMCI approach. This study therefore aimed to assess what proportion of children aged five years and younger who presented with fever were managed via the "test and treat" guidelines and which factors were associated with this, in Lusaka District, Zambia. Methodology: A cross sectional analytical study design was used based on a review of medical records. A sample size of 800 medical records of children presenting with fever was selected from 10 out of the 23 health care facilities in Lusaka, using a multistage stratified random sampling technique. Four hundred records were sampled from 2008 records (five years after commencement of the "test and treat" policy) and 400 from 2011 records (eight years after commencement of the "test and treat" policy). Trained data collectors used a data extraction tool to transcribe demographic and clinical data from the medical records in a standardized manner. Data Analysis: Univariate descriptive statistics analysis was performed using measures of central tendency and measures of dispersion to analyze numerical (continuous) variables such as age, weight and body temperature; and using frequencies for categorical variables such as gender, area of residence, RDTs/microscopy malaria tests conducted, received ACT if RDT positive, presence of an ACT treatment chart on the health centre wall and availability of a weighing scale. To determine the relationship between variables, bivariate analysis via the prevalence ratio was conducted. Results: Just over half (55%) of all children with fever were tested for malaria in 2008 and this gratifyingly increased to (73%) in 2011. Overall, the proportion of children correctly and appropriately treated with ACT, which means that those who tested positive for malaria were given ACT, was 85% in 2008 but regrettably dropped to 72% in 2011. Although "presumptive treatment" decreased from 24% in 2008 to 11% in 2011, the proportion of children with fever not tested for malaria, and although not treated for malaria, but left without a definitive diagnosis of their fever being made, remained high but dropping (22% in 2008 and 16% in 2011). Similarly the proportion of children who tested negative for malaria but then did not undergo any further investigation also unfortunately remained very high and rising (57% in 2008 and 89% in 2011). A combination of the above poor clinical management practises resulted in only 38% of children with fever in 2008 and unfortunately dropping to only 33% in 2011 being correctly managed (tested for malaria via RDT or microscopy and treated with ACT if positive, while further investigated for the cause of fever if negative). On preparedness of the health facility to implement the "test and treat" policy, it was noted that only 4 out of 10 health facilities were at least minimally prepared to do so, but paradoxically on bivariate analysis those minimally prepared were less likely (PR 0.62; 95% CI 0.41-0.94) to correctly manage the patients in 2011 than those who were unprepared. A similar paradox occurred for those correctly treated with ACT after testing positive, with facilities which were minimally prepared being less likely to do so (PR 0.28; 95% CI 0.14-0.58) in 2011 than those facilities which were unprepared to implement the "test and treat" policy. However these associations were inconsistent over time, as the associations were not present in 2008. Similarly all other factors such as staff category (doctor, nurse, clinical officer) and type of presenting symptoms besides fever (anorexia, lethargy, pallor) assessed, were not consistently associated with testing for malaria in both 2008 and 2011. The same applied for the other two main outcome variables of 'treated with ACT after test positive for malaria' and 'correctly managed child with fever', in that there were no factors that showed a consistent association with them in both 2008 and 2011. Conclusion: Testing of children with fever for malaria is at a low level but rose between 2008 and 2011. Paradoxically the proportion of those diagnosed with malaria who were correctly treated with ACT dropped between 2008 and 2011, as did the proportion of children with fever who were correctly managed. No factors assessed in this study were found to be consistently associated in both 2008 and 2011 with either testing for malaria, or treating confirmed malaria cases with ACT, or managing patients with fever correctly. Recommendations: In order for health workers to correctly implement the "test and treat" policy, which involves a series of complex steps, they ought to be formally trained to do so, mentored and constructively supervised. Additionally health facilities should be adequately equipped to enable health workers to fully implement the policy. Further studies to assess factors associated with the correct management of malaria via the "test and treat" policy are warranted.

Abstract:
Abstract This book chapter tackles the management and economics of east coast fever. At about the time of ILRAD's establishment in 1973, a vaccination procedure was being developed at the East African Veterinary Research Organization (EAVRO) at Muguga, Kenya. The infection-and-treatment method (ITM) is an immunization procedure against ECF. It involves inoculation of live sporozoites of T. parva, usually in the form of a semi-purified homogenate of T. parva-infected ticks, combined with simultaneous treatment with a dose of a long-acting formulation of the antibiotic oxytetracycline. Whilst safe and very effective when administered correctly, production and delivery of this live ECF vaccine is complicated, expensive and time consuming, and at the time of ILRAD's founding, there were doubts as to whether such a procedure was commercially viable. The future for ILRI in the pathology and immunoparasitology of theileriosis will be guided by the vaccine, balanced against the evolving prospects for a subunit vaccine. The future in the epidemiology and economics of ECF management will be developing and evaluating current or novel control methods.

Abstract:
The general objective of this BARD project focused on rationally designed insect neuropeptide (NP) agonists and antagonists, their application for the characterization of the mechanisms of action of the pyrokinin/PBAN (PK-PBAN) family and the development of biostable, bioavailable versions that can provide the basis for development of novel, environmentally-friendly pest insect control agents. The specific objectives of the study, as originally proposed, were to: (i) Test stimulatory potencies of rationally designed backbone cyclic (BBC) peptides on pheromonotropic, melanotropic, myotropic and pupariation activities; (ii) Test the inhibitory potencies of the BBC compounds on the above activities evoked either by synthetic peptides (PBAN, LPK, myotropin and pheromonotropin) or by the natural endogenous mechanism; (iii) Determine the bioavailability of the most potent BBC compounds that will be found in (ii); (iv) Design, synthesize and examine novel PK/PBAN analogs with enhanced bioavailability and receptor binding; (v) Design and synthesize ‘magic bullet’ analogs and examine their ability to selectively kill cells expressing the PK/PBAN receptor. To achieve these goals the agonistic and antagonistic activities/properties of rationally designed linear and BBC neuropeptide (NP) were thoroughly studied and the information obtained was further used for the design and synthesis of improved compounds toward the design of an insecticide prototype. The study revealed important information on the structure activity relationship (SAR) of agonistic/antagonistic peptides, including definitive identification of the orientation of the Pro residue as trans for agonist activity in 4 PK/PBANbioassays (pheromonotropic, pupariation, melanotropic, & hindgut contractile) and a PK-related CAP₂b bioassay (diuretic); indications that led to the identification of a novel scaffold to develop biostbiostable, bioavailable peptidomimetic PK/PBANagonists/antagonists. The work led to the development of an arsenal of PK/PBAN antagonists with a variety of selectivity profiles; whether between different PKbioassays, or within the same bioassay between different natural elicitors. Examples include selective and non-selective BBC and novel amphiphilic PK pheromonotropic and melanotropic antagonists some of which are capable of penetrating the moth cuticle in efficacious quantities. One of the latter analog group demonstrated unprecedented versatility in its ability to antagonize a broad spectrum of pheromonotropic elicitors. A novel, transPro mimetic motif was proposed & used to develop a strong, selective PK agonist of the melanotropic bioassay in moths. The first antagonist (pure) of PK-related CAP₂b diuresis in flies was developed using a cisPro mimetic motif; an indication that while a transPro orientation is associated with receptor agonism, a cisPro orientation is linked with an antagonist interaction. A novel, biostablePK analog, incorporating β-amino acids at key peptidase-susceptible sites, exhibited in vivo pheromonotropic activity that by far exceeded that of PBAN when applied topically. Direct analysis of neural tissue by state-of-the-art MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry was used to identify specific PK/PK-related peptides native to eight arthropod pest species [house (M. domestica), stable (S. calcitrans), horn (H. irritans) & flesh (N. bullata) flies; Southern cattle fever tick (B. microplus), European tick (I. ricinus), yellow fever mosquito (A. aegypti), & Southern Green Stink Bug (N. viridula)]; including the unprecedented identification of mass-identical Leu/Ile residues and the first identification of NPs from a tick or the CNS of Hemiptera. Evidence was obtained for the selection of Neb-PK-2 as the primary pupariation factor of the flesh fly (N. bullata) among native PK/PK-related candidates. The peptidomic techniques were also used to map the location of PK/PK-related NP in the nervous system of the model fly D. melanogaster. Knowledge of specific PK sequences can aid in the future design of species specific (or non-specific) NP agonists/antagonists. In addition, the study led to the first cloning of a PK/PBAN receptor from insect larvae (S. littoralis), providing the basis for SAR analysis for the future design of 2ⁿᵈgeneration selective and/or nonselective agonists/antagonists. Development of a microplate ligand binding assay using the PK/PBAN pheromone gland receptor was also carried out. The assay will enable screening, including high throughput, of various libraries (chemical, molecular & natural product) for the discovery of receptor specific agonists/antagonists. In summary, the body of work achieves several key milestones and brings us significantly closer to the development of novel, environmentally friendly pest insect management agents based on insect PK/PBANNPs capable of disrupting critical NP-regulated functions.

Abstract:
Objectives: The Israeli work plan regarding HBTM included: (a) producing a better diagnostic method; (b) following infestations during the season and evaluating damage to resistant bees and, (c) controlling HBTM by conventional means under local conditions. For varroa our plans to try novel control (e.g. oil novel control (e.g. oil patties & essential oils) were initially delayed by very low pest populations, then disrupted by the emergence of fluvalinate resistance. We monitored the spread of resistance to understand it better, and analyzed an underlying biochemical resistance mechanism in varroa. The US work plan focused on novel management methods for both mites with an emphasis on reducing use of traditional insecticides due to resistance and contamination issues. Objectives were: (a) evaluating plant essential oils for varroa control; (b) exploring the vulnerability of varroa to desiccation for their management; and (c) looking for biological variation in HBTM that could explain virulence variability between colonies. Although the initial PI at the USDA Beltsville Bee Lab, W.A. Bruce, retired during the project we made significant strides especially on varroa water balance. Subcontracts were performed by Yoder (Illinois College) on varroa water balance and DeGrandi-Hoffman (USDA) who evaluated plant essential oils for their potential to control varroa. We devised an IPM strategy for mite control i the U.S. Background: Mites that parasitize honey bees are a global problem. They are threatening the survival of managed and feral bees, the well-being of commercial/hobby beekeeping, and due to pollination, the future of some agricultural commodities is threatened. Specific economic consequences of these mites are that: (a) apiculture/breeder business are failing; (b) fewer colonies exist; (c) demand and cost for hive leasing are growing; (d) incidences of bee pathogens are increasing; and, (e) there are ore problems with commercial-reared bees. As a reflection of the continued significance f bee mites, a mite book is now in press (Webster & delaplane, 2000); and the 2nd International Conference on Africanized Honey Bees and Bee Mites is scheduled (April, 2000, Arizona). The first such conference was at OSU (1987, GRN was co-organizer). The major challenge is controlling two very different mites within a colony while not adversely impacting the hive. Colony management practices vary, as do the laws dictating acaricide use. Our basic postulates were that: (a) both mites are of economic importance with moderate to high infestations but not at low rates and, (b) once established they will not be eradicated. A novel strategy was devised that deals with the pests concomitantly by maintaining populations at low levels, without unnecessary recourse to synthetic acaricides. Major Conclusions, Solutions, Achievements: A major recent revelation is that there are several species of "Varroa jacobsoni" (Anderson & Trueman 1999). Work on control, resistance, population dynamics, and virulence awaits knowing whether this is a problem. In the U.S. there was no difference between varroa from three locales in terms of water balance parameters (AZ, MN & PA), which bodes well for our work to date. Winter varroa (U.S.) were more prone to desiccation than during other seasons. Varroa sensitivity to desiccation has important implications for improving IPM. Several botanicals showed some promise for varroa control (thymol & origanum). Unfortunately there is varroa resistance to Apistan in Israel but a resistance mechanism was detected for the first time. The Israel team also has a new method for HBTM diagnosis. Annual tracheal mite population trends in Israel were characterized, which will help in targeting treatment. Effects of HBTM on honey yields were shown. HBTM control by Amitraz was demonstrated for at least 6 months. Showing partial resistance by Buckfast bees to HBTM will be an important IPM tactic in Israel and U.S.

Abstract:
The general objective of this study was to develop rationally designed mimetic antagonists (and agonists) of the PK/PBAN Np class with enhanced bio-stability and bioavailability as prototypes for effective and environmentally friendly pest insect management agents. The PK/PBAN family is a multifunctional group of Nps that mediates key functions in insects (sex pheromone biosynthesis, cuticular melanization, myotropic activity, diapause and pupal development) and is, therefore, of high scientific and applied interest. The objectives of the current study were: (i) to identify an antagonist biophores (ii) to develop an arsenal of amphiphilic topically active PK/PBAN antagonists with an array of different time-release profiles based on the previously developed prototype analog; (iii) to develop rationally designed non-peptide SMLs based on the antagonist biophore determined in (i) and evaluate them in cloned receptor microplate binding assays and by pheromonotropic, melanotropic and pupariation in vivo assays. (iv) to clone PK/PBAN receptors (PK/PBAN-Rs) for further understanding of receptor-ligand interactions; (v) to develop microplate binding assays for screening the above SMLs. In the course of the granting period A series of amphiphilic PK/PBAN analogs based on a linear lead antagonist from the previous BARD grant was synthesized that incorporated a diverse array of hydrophobic groups (HR-Suc-A[dF]PRLa). Others were synthesized via the attachment of polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymers. A hydrophobic, biostablePK/PBAN/DH analog DH-2Abf-K prevented the onset of the protective state of diapause in H. zea pupae [EC50=7 pmol/larva] following injection into the preceding larval stage. It effectively induces the crop pest to commit a form of ‘ecological suicide’. Evaluation of a set of amphiphilic PK analogs with a diverse array of hydrophobic groups of the formula HR-Suc-FTPRLa led to the identification of analog T-63 (HR=Decyl) that increased the extent of diapause termination by a factor of 70% when applied topically to newly emerged pupae. Another biostablePK analog PK-Oic-1 featured anti-feedant and aphicidal properties that matched the potency of some commercial aphicides. Native PK showed no significant activity. The aphicidal effects were blocked by a new PEGylated PK antagonist analog PK-dF-PEG4, suggesting that the activity is mediated by a PK/PBAN receptor and therefore indicative of a novel and selective mode-of-action. Using a novel transPro mimetic motif (dihydroimidazole; ‘Jones’) developed in previous BARD-sponsored work, the first antagonist for the diapause hormone (DH), DH-Jo, was developed and shown to block over 50% of H. zea pupal diapause termination activity of native DH. This novel antagonist development strategy may be applicable to other invertebrate and vertebrate hormones that feature a transPro in the active core. The research identifies a critical component of the antagonist biophore for this PK/PBAN receptor subtype, i.e. a trans-oriented Pro. Additional work led to the molecular cloning and functional characterization of the DH receptor from H. zea, allowing for the discovery of three other DH antagonist analogs: Drosophila ETH, a β-AA analog, and a dF analog. The receptor experiments identified an agonist (DH-2Abf-dA) with a maximal response greater than native DH. ‘Deconvolution’ of a rationally-designed nonpeptide heterocyclic combinatorial library with a cyclic bis-guanidino (BG) scaffold led to discovery of several members that elicited activity in a pupariation acceleration assay, and one that also showed activity in an H. zea diapause termination assay, eliciting a maximal response of 90%. Molecular cloning and functional characterization of a CAP2b antidiuretic receptor from the kissing bug (R. prolixus) as well as the first CAP2b and PK receptors from a tick was also achieved. Notably, the PK/PBAN-like receptor from the cattle fever tick is unique among known PK/PBAN and CAP2b receptors in that it can interact with both ligand types, providing further evidence for an evolutionary relationship between these two NP families. In the course of the granting period we also managed to clone the PK/PBAN-R of H. peltigera, to express it and the S. littoralis-R Sf-9 cells and to evaluate their interaction with a variety of PK/PBAN ligands. In addition, three functional microplate assays in a HTS format have been developed: a cell-membrane competitive ligand binding assay; a Ca flux assay and a whole cell cAMP ELISA. The Ca flux assay has been used for receptor characterization due to its extremely high sensitivity. Computer homology studies were carried out to predict both receptor’s SAR and based on this analysis 8 mutants have been generated. The bioavailability of small linear antagonistic peptides has been evaluated and was found to be highly effective as sex pheromone biosynthesis inhibitors. The activity of 11 new amphiphilic analogs has also been evaluated. Unfortunately, due to a problem with the Heliothis moth colony we were unable to select those with pheromonotropic antagonistic activity and further check their bioavailability. Six peptides exhibited some melanotropic antagonistic activity but due to the low inhibitory effect the peptides were not further tested for bioavailability in S. littoralis larvae. Despite the fact that no new antagonistic peptides were discovered in the course of this granting period the results contribute to a better understanding of the interaction of the PK/PBAN family of Nps with their receptors, provided several HT assays for screening of libraries of various origin for presence of PK/PBAN-Ragonists and antagonists and provided important practical information for the further design of new, peptide-based insecticide prototypes aimed at the disruption of key neuroendocrine physiological functions in pest insects.
