Molecular and morphological identification of Biomphalaria species from the state of São Paulo, Brazil

DNA barcoding and morphological characters were used to identify adult snails belonging to the genus Biomphalaria from 17 municipalities in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The DNA barcode analysis also included twenty-nine sequences retrieved from GenBank. The final data set of 104 sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene was analyzed for K2P intraspecific and interspecifi...

Functionally similar species have similar dynamics

1. Improving the mechanistic basis of biodiversity–ecosystem function relationships requires a better understanding of how functional traits drive the dynamics of populations. For example, environmental disturbances or grazing may increase synchronization of functionally similar species, whereas functionally different species may show independent dynamics, because of different responses to the ...

Molecular Characterization of Aureobasidium Species in Iran

Background: Members of this genus Aureobasidium are ubiquitous microorganisms which can be isolated from wide ranges of substrates such as plant materials (phyllosphere, plant debris, bark, roots, fruits and wood), soil, dead wood, air, and as rare etiologic agent of pheohyphomycosis, keratomycosis, septicemia, peritoneal sepsis, and dermatological infections in human. Very little is known on t...

Molecular Study of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Species among Soldiers with Dermal Ulcers in Zahedan, Iran

Introduction: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is one of the most important parasitic diseases in the world and Iran. This disease is important in military force and its prevention during peacetime and prediction during wartime is required. Objective: The present study was designed to investigate the prevalence of CL in soldiers with suspected skin lesions via parasitic and molecular techniques in ...
