The yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti was introduced in Peru in 1852 and was considered to be eradicated in 1958. In 2001, Ae. aegypti had been recorded in 15 out of 24 Peruvian Departments. Peru has great ecological differences between the east and west sides of Andes. Because of this, we consider that Ae. aegypti populations of both east and west sides can have a genetically distinct popula...

Taenia saginata is the most common human Taenia in Thailand. By cox1 sequences, 73 isolates from four localities in north and northeast were differentiated into 14 haplotypes, 11 variation sites and haplotype diversity of 0.683. Among 14 haplotypes, haplotype A was the major (52.1%), followed by haplotype B (21.9%). Clustering diagram of Thai and GenBank sequences indicated mixed phylogeny amon...

Purpose: To investigate whether there are interactions between insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) and insulin receptor substrate 2 (IRS2) that are associated with increased insulin resistance during such episodes. Methods: Testing Haplotype EffectS in Association Studies (THESIAS) software was used to investigate allelic and haplotype interactions between the polymorphisms in 156 T2DM patients...

Variants of the arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (ALOX5AP) gene have been implicated as a risk factor for stroke. However, genetic association studies that have examined the association between ALOX5AP gene variants (HapA haplotype, HapB haplotype, and SG polymorphisms) and stroke have produced conflicting results. Therefore, the authors performed a meta-analysis of all studies wi...

Haplotypes represent underlying polymorphisms more than single SNPs, and are considered as a more informative format of data in association analysis. To model haplotypes, it requires high degrees of freedom, which could decrease power and limit a model’s capacity to incorporate other complex effects such as interactions. Even within haplotype blocks, high degrees of freedom are still a concern ...

The aim of our study was to analyze the reproduction dynamics and fertility rates Ayrshire cattle population in Russia assess level influence AH1 haplotype on incidence stillbirth. For an overall estimate, we used 390,769 records 67 dairy herds from 2003 2018. Against background stable growth, average stillbirth rate 3.33% abortion 0.075%. A high percentage (5.13%) heifers first fertilization e...

Molecular markers allow insights into the population biology and ecology of deep-sea organisms, which are usually hardly accessible to direct observation and poorly known. Such a study was undertaken here for the deep-sea fish Beryx splendens, a species of growing interest to fisheries. B. splendens populations were sampled on seamounts and continental margins in the southwestern Pacific (New C...
