Vexillata liomyos n. sp. (Nemata: Ornithostrongylidae) from Liomys pictus (Rodentia: Heteromyidae) from Mexico, with comments on the synlophe of Vexillata armandae.

A new species of Vexillata (Nemata: Ornithostrongylidae) from the coarse-haired pocket mouse Chaetodipus hispidus in New Mexico.

Individuals of a new species of trichostrongyloid nematode of the genus Vexillata were collected from the intestines of the coarse-haired pocket mouse Chaetodipus hispidus from eastern New Mexico. This new species possesses general features of the genus Vexillata but may be recognized as distinct from all other species by unique features of the dorsal ray of the caudal bursa and the synlophe.

Construction of an SSR and RAD-Marker Based Molecular Linkage Map of Vigna vexillata (L.) A. Rich

Vigna vexillata (L.) A. Rich. (tuber cowpea) is an underutilized crop for consuming its tuber and mature seeds. Wild form of V. vexillata is a pan-tropical perennial herbaceous plant which has been used by local people as a food. Wild V. vexillata has also been considered as useful gene(s) source for V. unguiculata (cowpea), since it was reported to have various resistance gene(s) for insects a...

Genetic comparisons between Heteromys desmarestianus and the recently described H. nubicolens (Rodentia: Heteromyidae) in northwestern Costa Rica

The subfamily Heteromyinae (spiny pocket mice) represents a well-defined monophyletic group within the rodent family Heteromyidae (Hafner 1981; Hafner and Hafner 1983; Wahlert 1991). Two extant genera, Heteromys and Liomys, are recognized in the Heteromyinae. Species of Heteromys inhabit wet (typically evergreen) forests from southern Mexico to western Ecuador (Williams et al. 1993). Present ta...

First Record of Fleas (insecta: Siphonaptera) from Nelson's Kangaroo Rat, Dipodomys Nelsoni (rodentia: Heteromyidae) in Durango, Mexico

Constituents from Vigna vexillata and Their Anti-Inflammatory Activity

The seeds of Vigna genus are important food resources and there have already been many reports regarding their bioactivities. In our preliminary bioassay, the chloroform layer of methanol extracts of V. vexillata demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory bioactivity. Therefore, the present research is aimed to purify and identify the anti-inflammatory principles of V. vexillata. One new sterol...
