Morphology and molecular taxonomy of the tongue worm, genus Raillietiella (Pentastomida) from the " lungs of berber skinks Eumeces schneideri (Scincidae): First report

Rev. argent. microbiol; 53 (2), 2021
Abstract In the present study, pentastomids belonging to the order Cephalobaenida were isolated from the lungs of Berber skinks Eumeces schneideri (Famiy: Scincidae), which were morphologically described by light and scanning electron microscopy and taxonomically justi- fied by 18s rDNA molecular analyse...

Nextstrain: a tool to analyze the molecular epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2

La preocupación mundial por el nuevo coronavirus (2019-nCoV), como una amenaza global para la salud pública, fue el motor para que los análisis filogenéticos sufrieran un crecimiento exponencial. El objetivo de esta revisión fue describir el modo de funcionamiento y las bondades de la herramienta Ne...

Caracterização filogenética de cepas Rickettsia parkeri em carrapatos e sua dispersão em áreas endêmicas do Estado de São Paulo

A Febre Maculosa é uma doença infecciosa febril aguda, com gravidade variável. Em algumas regiões das Américas, uma forma mais branda da doença é causada pela espécie Rickettsia parkeri que é caracterizada por manifestações clínicas mais leves. Atualmente são poucos os estudos epidemiológic...

Towards a complete classification of the Neotropical thorny catfishes (Siluriformes: Doradidae)

Neotrop. ichthyol; 19 (4), 2021
We propose a revised classification of Doradidae based on phylogenetic analyses of sequence data for one nuclear (rag1) and two mitochondrial (co1, 16s) genes, and corroborated by caudal-fin morphology. The molecular dataset comprises 174 doradid specimens representing all 31 valid genera, 83 of the 96 v...

Amazonian scorpions and scorpionism: integrating toxinological, clinical, and phylogenetic data to combat a human health crisis in the world's most diverse rainfores

Venom from Amazonian scorpions of the genus Tityus contains components capable of eliciting a distinct clinical, mostly neurological, syndrome. This contrasts with the mainly autonomic manifestations produced after envenomation by congeneric southern and northern South American species. Herein, we summar...

Phylogeny of the Neotropical Pacman catfish genus Lophiosilurus (Siluriformes: Pseudopimelodidae)

Neotrop. ichthyol; 19 (4), 2021
Lophiosilurus is a monotypic genus represented by L. alexandri, a species endemic to the São Francisco river basin, Brazil. In previous phylogenetic analyses, the genus has been recovered as the sister group of Cephalosilurus. However, few species of Cephalosilurus or few characters were included in tho...

Virulence genotyping and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Yersinia enterocolitica isolated from meat and meat products in Egypt

Braz. j. biol; 81 (2), 2021
Pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica (Y. enterocolitica) is one of the food-borne entero-pathogen responsible for yersiniosis in humans. The purpose of this research was to survey the prevalence, virulence-associated genes, and antimicrobial resistance of Y. enterocolitica isolated from meat and meat produ...
