Evolutionary Insights into IL17A in Lagomorphs
In leporids, IL17A had been implicated in the host defense against extracellular pathogens, such as Francisella tularensis that infects hares and rabbits and causes the zoonotic disease tularemia. Here, we studied IL17A from five lagomorphs, European rabbit, pygmy rabbit, brush rabbit, European brown hare, and American pika. We observed that this protein is highly conserved between these specie...
متن کاملEvolutionary History of Lagomorphs in Response to Global Environmental Change
Although species within Lagomorpha are derived from a common ancestor, the distribution range and body size of its two extant groups, ochotonids and leporids, are quite differentiated. It is unclear what has driven their disparate evolutionary history. In this study, we compile and update all fossil records of Lagomorpha for the first time, to trace the evolutionary processes and infer their ev...
متن کاملPhylogeny, classification and evolutionary insights into pestiviruses.
The genus Pestivirus comprises four established species: Bovine viral diarrhoea viruses 1 (BVDV-1) and 2 (BVDV-2), Border disease virus (BDV), and Classical swine fever virus (CSFV); and a tentative species, Pestivirus of giraffe. Additional pestiviruses have been identified and suggested for recognition as novel subgroups/species. To achieve a reliable phylogeny as the basis for classification...
متن کاملInsights from Price's equation into evolutionary epidemiology
The basic reproduction number, denoted by R0, is one of the most important quantities in epidemiological theory ([11], [23]). It is defined as the expected number of new infections generated by an infected individual in an otherwise wholly susceptible population ([2], [12], [23]). Part of the reason why R0 plays such a central role in this body of theory undoubtedly stems from its relatively si...
متن کاملAuthor's personal copy Evolutionary insights into DNA methylation in insects
Epigenetic information affects gene function and plays a critical role in development. DNA methylation is one of the most widespread epigenetic marks and has been linked to developmental plasticity in insects. Here, we review the patterns and functions of DNA methylation in insects. We specifically focus on how the application of an evolutionary framework has led to important insights into the ...
