The present study aimed at detection and species-level identification of the Malassezia yeasts in domestic animals and aquatic birds by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Samples were collected using tape strips and swabs from 471 animals including 97 horses, 102 cattle, 105 sheep, 20 camels, 60 dogs, 30 cats, 1 hamster, 1 squirrel, 50 aquatic birds a...

The repertoire of microeukaryotes in the human gut has been poorly explored, mainly in individuals living in northern hemisphere countries. We further explored this repertoire using PCR-sequencing and culture in seven individuals living in four tropical countries. A total of 41 microeukaryotes including 38 different fungal species and three protists were detected. Four fungal species, Davidiell...

BACKGROUND The Malassezia genus includes mainly lipophilic yeasts belonging to the cutaneous microbiota of man and other mammals. Some Malassezia species have been associated with various dermatological diseases. The factors permitting the transformation of yeasts of the Malassezia genus from a commensal organism to a pathogenic agent are still little known but the production of various enzymes...

Treatment of chicken blood smears and semithin sections from Epon-embedded mouse tissues with aqueous solutions of the 3-aminonaphthalimides FA-142, FA-2043, and FA-2143 induced a strong green-yellow fluorescence of chromatin under violet or violet-blue excitation. Chromatin emission was abolished by previous DNase or hot TCA treatment. The use of 3-methoxy (FA-655) and 3-nitro derivatives (M-4...

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the compatibility of $M$-fuzzifying topologies and $M$-fuzzifying convexities, define an $M$-fuzzifying topological convex space, and give a method to generate an $M$-fuzzifying topological convex space. Some characterizations of $M$-fuzzifying topological convex spaces are presented. Finally, the notion of $M$-fuzzifying weak topologies is obtaine...

In this paper‎, ‎we introduce the notion of $(m,n)$-‎algebr‎aically compact modules as an analogue of algebraically‎ ‎compact modules and then we show that $(m,n)$-algebraically‎ ‎compactness‎ ‎and $(m,n)$-pure injectivity for modules coincide‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎further characterizations of a‎ ‎$(m,n)$-pure injective module over a commutative ring are given‎.
