While the adverse effects on eggs of exposing egg pods through erosion or other physical means (e.g., tillage) have been previously observed (but not quantified), this study suggests that increased sediment over the top of the egg pod may cause whole egg pods to fail.
We hypothesized that if the thelytokous host's female sex determination pathway became dependent on Wolbachia, replacing the sexual genome by the thelytokous genome in the absence of Wolbachia may cause diploid fertilized eggs to develop into males rather than females.
While prolonged flooding at high temperatures in summer and early autumn may cause very high egg mortality and subsequent first-instar nymph mortality of any survivors, it is likely to only ever affect a small proportion of the overall metapopulation.
Therefore, down-regulated expression of omy-miR-nov-95-5p in aged eggs may cause abnormal expression of COX6B1, thereby affecting normal mitochondrial respiratory chain and egg quality.
Historically the FSA's advice has always been that "eating raw eggs, eggs with runny yolks or any food that is uncooked or only lightly cooked and contains raw eggs may cause food poisoning".
In addition, ingesting a large number of eggs may cause an overwhelming, fatal acute infection with numerous larvae and notable central nervous system pathology.
Loss of Armadillo/β-catenin in germ line cells may cause formation of aberrant egg chambers [37]; however, it is not clear whether the mutant phenotype is due to a loss of a cell adhesion or because of a signalling function of β-catenin.
The manufacture process may cause trace amounts of egg protein to remain in the final vaccine.
Fatal cysticercosis may also occur in persons who have ingested large numbers of eggs, which may cause an overwhelming, fatal acute infection with numerous larvae and severe central nervous system pathologic changes.
Since delta-like 4 is MyD88 dependant, and has been shown to be upregulated upon exposure of dendritic cells to LPS[29], egg antigen may cause delta-like 4 to be expressed on dendritic cells as well.
