In this article, ITS sequences of 20 species in Osmanthus were cloned and researched. It was found that length of ITS sequences ranged from 614bp to 619bp, in which ITS-1 is obviously longer than ITS-2, 5.8S of 20 species is composed of 163bp, and the percentage of G+C in ITS sequence of 20 species is 54.24%-64.56%. Alignment between ITS sequences from 20 species of Osmanthus was performed, and...

background zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (zcl) is polymorphic disease that may show various clinical manifestations. objectives this study investigates the determination of genetic variation within the species of leishmania major isolates from new cases in chabahar, a port city in southeast iran (situated at the iran-pakistan border). migration in this region indicates that leishmaniasis is ...

ticks are important acarina that infest animals. they are obligatory blood sucker arthropods which economically impact cattle industry by reducing weight gain and production. moreover, they are important vectors of viral, bacterial, rickettsial and parasitic pathogens infecting humans and animals. in view of the importance of hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum in pathogen transmission, including th...

The nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region has been characterized in the sister genera Larix and Pseudotsuga (Pinaceae). Complete sequences were obtained for seven species of Larix from North America and Eurasia and five species of Pseudotsuga from western North America and eastern Asia. ITS region lengths ranged from 1759 to 1770 bp in Larix and from 1564 to 157...

The present findings suggest that Anopheles (Kerteszia) homunculus may comprise more than one species. The rDNA ITS2 sequence data corroborate the presence of An. homunculus l.s. in Mata Atlântica, southern Brazil, and suggest that specimens from Trinidad may belong to an unnamed morphologically similar species. There is a need for additional studies to establish the geographical distribution o...

Internal parasites are considered by some to be one of the most economically important constraints in raising livestock. The growing concern about the resistance of internal parasites to all classes of dewormers has caused people to look for alternatives. As dewormers lose their effectiveness, the livestock community fears increasing economic losses from worms. There is no one thing that can be...

Thelonectria beijingensis sp. nov. is characterized by a distinct perithecial wall of textura epidermoidea mixed with textura intricata, purple to brown colonies, curved cylindrical macroconidia with rounded ends, ellipsoid to rod-shaped microconidia, and lacking chlamydospores. Thelonectria yunnanica sp. nov. is distinguished by a three layered perithecial wall with a palisade of short hyphae ...

Pleosporaceae is an important Dothideomycetes family. To elucidate relationships among some selected anamorphic pleosporalean taxa, their Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) and RNA polymerase second largest subunit (RPB2) were sequenced and compared. Phylogenetic analyses of both ITS and RPB2 regions were almost similar and generally congruent with previously described phylogenies and morphology...

A systematic survey (March 2012Feb 2013) of Anopheline population in rural(Mogra) and urban(Dumdum) areas of West Bengal has been conducted to know the present population load of Anopheles subpictus. A preliminary attempt has been made to assess the potential morphological (wing) as well as molecular variation of Anopheles subpictus by using ITS-2 sequence primer. A considerable sequence variat...
