A 73-year-old Thai woman living in Mueang District, Saraburi Province, central Thailand presented with numerous hookworm-like nematodes, finally revealed as Diploscapter coronata, by fecal culture. The patient exhibited no significant clinical signs of the gastrointestinal or genitourinary systems, and was generally not ill as a result of this unusual infection. Less commonly, patients have pre...

Climate change calls for novel approaches to include environmental effects in future breeding programs forage crops. A set of ryegrasses (Lolium) varieties was evaluated multiple European environments crown rust (Puccinia coronata f. sp. lolii) and stem (P. graminis graminicola) resistance. Additive Main Effect Multiplicative Interaction (AMMI) analysis revealed significant genotype (G) environ...

A aveia branca é uma espécie de inverno com inúmeros benefícios aos sistemas cultivo e na alimentação animal humana. É reconhecida como alimento nutracêutico pelos à saúde. Esta condição tem promovido o aumento das áreas buscando atender a demanda, porém, favorecendo surgimento doenças fúngicas, responsáveis por danos expressivos produtividade qualidade grãos. ferrugem da folha (Puccinia corona...

The relative importance of the Pleistocene glacial cycles in driving avian speciation remains controversial, partly because species limits in many groups remain poorly understood, and because current taxonomic designations are often based on phenotypic characteristics of uncertain phylogenetic significance. We use mtDNA sequence data to examine patterns of genetic variation, sequence divergence...

With the aim of identifying the species of nasal mites of Paroaria coronata (red-crested cardinal), the nasal cavity of 40 birds were examined. The nasal mites were identified as Ptilonyssus sairae de Castro and Sternostoma pirangae Pence, with 50% and 7.5% of prevalence, respectively. This is the first record of these mite species parasitizing P. coronata. This report also amplifies the area o...

Diseases caused by crown rust (Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae) and powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. avenae) are among the most important constraints for the oat crop. Breeding for resistance is one of the most effective, economical, and environmentally friendly means to control these diseases. The purpose of this work was to identify elite alleles for rust and powdery mildew resistance...
