Cariblattoides labandeirai sp.n. from the Eocene sediments of Green River in Colorado, USA bear only two plesiomorphies, but also several significant autapomorphies within the advanced and highly derived living cockroach genus. Thus, Cariblattoides with extant occurrence in the Caribbean and South America was historically common in the Nearctic, and represents important evidence for the occurre...

Compelling evidence appeared in 2002 of human exposure to a plethora of primate lentiviruses through hunting, handling of bushmeat, and/or animals kept as pets in Cameroon. To determine SIV prevalence in pet animals, an analysis of 28 sera of nonhuman primates found no SIV infection in greater spot-nosed monkeys (0/5) or chimpanzees (0/10), and a prevalence rate of 23.1% (3/13) in mandrills kep...

The knowledge of the reproductive biology of Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck 1822) is particularly important in the context of its impact as an invasive species in Asia and many Pacific islands (Cowie, 2002). Several studies on the structure of the genital system of P. canaliculata and of other Neotropical ampullariids have been published (see Hylton-Scott, 1957; Andrews, 1964; Martín, 1980; Bert...

A list of myxozoan genera is presented in the current taxonomical scheme. These genera are defined; their type species and most important pathogens along with their hosts are listed. Simultaneously, definitions of actinospore stages representing sexual stages of the myxosporean life cycle are given; altogether, 17 actinospore collective groups with 180 types have been described. Life cycles of ...

The spread of drug-resistant bacteria via food has contributed to the dissemination resistant among humans. However, status contamination with bacteria, particularly quantitative level in food, not yet been well elucidated. In this study, abundance colistin-resistant Escherichia coli meat samples was quantified understand origin available local Vietnamese markets. Fifteen each chicken and pork ...
