Due to a production error, Figure 2 legend was not updated during proof editing. The legend should read: FIGURE 2 | Morphometrical measurements and abbreviations used in this study. Photograph is of Carausius morosus, which is representative of the morphology of all species examined here. AL, abdomen length; FLL, forelimb length; HFL, hind femur length; HL, head length; HW, head width; MT, midd...

Lymphatic filariasis (LF), a nematode disease transmitted by arthropod vectors, is repeatedly reported in immigrant population. This disease is not endemic in Iran; however, different species of mosquitoes, capable of transmission of parasite microfilaria, are distributed in the country. Hereby, incidental detection of an imported case of LF due to Wuchereria bancrofti in an Indian worker in Ir...

We present several methods for the analysis and visualization of vessel systems in 3D CT and MR image datasets, including segmentation, skeletonization, topological and morphometrical analysis methods. We describe a number of clinical and medical applications, including quantitative vessel diagnostic, automatic detection of aneurysms, liver surgery planning, and simulation of vascular trees. Th...

This paper presents a new approach for the morphometrical characterization of brain structures using shape features calculated from normal fields. An orientable surface representation of the brain structure is derived allowing the estimation of the corresponding normal field without the need of a parameterized surface. In fact, the normal field is calculated from the application of the 3D wavel...

Holo- and paratypes of the root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne mayaguensis Rammah & Hirschmann, 1988 and Meloidogyne enterolobii Yang & Eisenback, 1983 were morphometrically and morphologically compared. All observed female, male and second-stage juvenile morphometrical and morphological characters are identical for the two studied species. Additionally, contradictions between the original species ...
