Despite many recent advances in genotype characterization of Enterocytozoon bieneusi worldwide and the exploration of the extent of cross-species transmission of microsporidiosis between humans and animals, the epidemiology of this neglected disease in China is poorly understood. In this study, a very high prevalence (60.3%; 94/156) of E. bieneusi infections in farmed pigs in Jilin province was...

The genus Episothalma Swinhoe is reviewed, and two new species are described: E. irrobustaria, sp. nov. from Thailand, and E. cuspidata sp. nov. from Hainan Province, China. E. ocellata Swinhoe is excluded from Episothalma and Pseudepisothalma gen. nov. is erected based on this species. A lectotype is designated for P. ocellata. Descriptions and diagnoses for both genera are given. All the know...

The Basin and Range province is a broad, highly extended terrane embedded within the North Ameri-can western Cordillera that extends from Canada, through the western United States, and across much of Mexico. The province roughly occupies the space between the Cascade Ranges and Rocky Mountains in the north and the Sierra Nevada and the Colorado Plateau in the middle, and it engulfs the Sierra M...

The genus Ambrosia consisting at least 40 species, with numerous intraspecific taxa (Essl et al. 2015). The first observation of Ambrosia from Iran was reported by Mozaffarian (1991). He reported distribution of A. artemisiifolia L.in Bandar-e Anzali (Gilan province, N Iran). Expanding new colonies of Ambrosia species were increasingly observed from road-sides and coastal areas of Bandar-e Anza...

The emergence of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) has become established as a major public health threat and represents a new challenge in the treatment of infectious diseases. In this study, we report a high incidence and endemic spread of NDM-1-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae isolates in Henan province, China. Eight (72.7%) out of eleven non-duplicated carbapenem-re...
