The question how many genes are needed to resolve phylogenetic incongruence has been investigated at various taxonomic levels, yet few studies have investigated the minimum required numbers of selected genes based on single-gene tree performance at the genus level or lower. We conducted resampling analyses by compiling transcriptome-based single-copy nuclear gene sequences of 11 species of Prim...

Combretum micranthum G. Don, also known as kinkéliba, is native to West Africa where the plant grows wild a shrub, liana, or tree and valued for its numerous attributes including health nutritional benefits. Despite this, genetic information commensurate with economic value lacking. The aim of this study was determine nuclear DNA content chromosome numbers C. germplasm from eastern Senegal, Afr...

Morphological identification of the majority Zygaenidae species in Eastern Mediterranean Region Turkey was undertaken and a phylogenetic tree these generated. Sampling performed between May September 2017 2018 Adana, Hatay, Kahramanmaraş, Mersin Osmaniye Provinces. This area is zoogeographical junction central Anatolia Levant. The were collected by sweep net visual control methods. Thirteen ide...

It is a widespread misconception that Sigmund Freud talks of phylogenic heritage only in his late work Der Mann Moses und die monotheistische Religion [1937], where he deals with collective Jewish identity. Striking remarks can already be found in Das Ich und das Es [1923] (which starts his second topography), but the idea already surfaces during the period of his first topography in Das Unbewu...

Eight Chinese field strains of subgroup J avian leukosis viruses (ALV-J) were isolated from broilers or parent stocks during January 1999 to April 2001. One strain, SD9902, was an acute transforming virus, able to induce typical myelocytomatosis in 22-38 days after inoculation of 1-day-old meat-type chicks. The envelope protein and 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of the eight field strains were co...

BACKGROUND Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an opportunistic multi-drug-resistant bacterium responsible for healthcare-associated infections. Strategies for in-hospital infection control and management of carriers and environmental reservoirs remain controversial. AIM To determine the population structure of S. maltophilia strains in hospitalized infected patients and to identify putative high...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The increase in Plasmodium falciparum infections which are associated with severe and complicated malaria and drug resistance has made control of malaria a difficult task. Extensive genetic polymorphism in P. falciparum has been reported from several parts of the world which affects the efficacy of sub-unit vaccines. The knowledge of genotypes of the parasite in a geogra...

One of the most important species of the Bartonella genus is B. henselae that causes a zoonotic infection, cat scratch disease (CSD). The main source of the bacteria is cat and the carrier is Ctenocephalides felis flea. One hundred and forty nail and saliva samples were collected from 70 domestic cats. Positive samples for B. henselae were characterized by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and se...
