First Full Draft Genome Sequence of Plasmodium brasilianum
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plasmodium malariae is a protozoan parasite that can cause human malaria. The simian parasite Plasmodium brasilianum infects New World monkeys from Latin America and is morphologically indistinguishable from P. malariae Here, we report the first full draft genome sequence for P. brasilianum.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Fungus Penicillium brasilianum MG11
The genus Penicillium belongs to the phylum Ascomycota and includes a variety of fungal species important for food and drug production. We report the draft genome sequence of Penicillium brasilianum MG11. This strain was isolated from soil, and it was reported to produce different secondary metabolites.
متن کاملNatural infection of Plasmodium brasilianum in humans: Man and monkey share quartan malaria parasites in the Venezuelan Amazon
BACKGROUND The quartan malaria parasite Plasmodium malariae is the widest spread and best adapted human malaria parasite. The simian Plasmodium brasilianum causes quartan fever in New World monkeys and resembles P. malariae morphologically. Since the genetics of the two parasites are nearly identical, differing only in a range of mutations expected within a species, it has long been speculated ...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Plasmodium gonderi, a Malaria Parasite of African Old World Monkeys
Plasmodium gonderi is a primate parasite whose natural host is the African Old World monkeys. Here, we report the draft genome sequence for P. gonderi The data are useful not only for understanding the evolution of malaria but also for allowing the comparative genomics of malaria parasites.
متن کاملDetection and Characterization of Weissellicin 110, a Bacteriocin Produced by Weissella cibaria
Background: Weissellicin 110 is the only bacteriocin reported in Weissella cibaria up to now. This bacteriocin represents several unique features. This is the first report on the gene sequence that encodes for the bacteriocin. Objectives: Providing a rapid detection method to isolate the weissellicin 110 encoding gene and determination of the bacteriocin distribution were the objectives. Materi...
متن کاملMerozoite surface protein-1 genetic diversity in Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium brasilianum from Brazil
BACKGROUND The merozoite surface protein 1 (MSP1) gene encodes the major surface antigen of invasive forms of the Plasmodium erythrocytic stages and is considered a candidate vaccine antigen against malaria. Due to its polymorphisms, MSP1 is also useful for strain discrimination and consists of a good genetic marker. Sequence diversity in MSP1 has been analyzed in field isolates of three human ...
