Trematode cercariae are commonly found in many freshwater gastropods. These cercariae can serve to identify the occurrence of such trematodes as Centrocestus formosanus, Haplorchis taichui, Haplorchoides sp, and Stellantchasmus falcatus, which are important parasites in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. As the species of these cercariae cannot be identified accurately based on morphology, this stu...

A fly larva was recovered from a boil-like lesion on the left leg of a 33-year-old male on 21 November 2016. He has worked in an endemic area of myiasis, Uganda, for 8 months and returned to Korea on 11 November 2016. The larva was identified as Cordylobia anthropophaga by morphological features, including the body shape, size, anterior end, posterior spiracles, and pattern of spines on the bod...

We describe and phylogenetically characterize a new species Niphargus mirocensis from Mt. Miroč, eastern Serbia. This species shows distinct morphology typical for a lake ecomorph of niphargid amphipod, i.e. large and stout body, elongated appendages and raptorial gnathopods and presents the first record of this ecomorph in Carpathian Mountains. Phylogenetic analyses based on Cytochrome Oxidase...

To determine the molecular phylogenic location of Plagiorchis muris, 28S D1 ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) were sequenced and compared with other trematodes in the family Plagiorchiidae. The 28S D1 tree of P. muris was found to be closely related to those of P. elegans and other Plagiorchis species. And, the mtCOI tree also showed that P. muris is ...

Heterogeneous RNA (HnRNA) (ca. 10S-70S) labeled for ten minutes with (3)H-uridine was identified by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the nucleoplasm of kidney cells. In the region >28S several discretely migrating species were present. Ten minutes after the removal of one kidney, labeled HnRNA >28S ("giant" HnRNA) in the remaining kidney began to decrease, and by 60 minutes it had fallen d...

We report the complete 5025-base sequence of the human 28S rRNA gene. Variability within the species has been demonstrated by sequencing a variable region from six separately cloned genes. This region is one of three large subunit rRNA regions that show extreme sequence and size variation among species. The interspecies differences suggest species-specific functions for these sections, while th...

Abstract The ryegrass cyst nematode, Heterodera mani , is reported from Western Australia for the first time. Cysts were recovered soil samples collected on a broadacre cropping property near town of Esperance. production area dominated by cereal/oilseed rotation and species annual ( Lolium rigidum ) common weed issue in these paddocks. Morphometrics cysts second stage juveniles (J2s) Australia...

two species of pratylenchoides recovered from the grasslands in sabalan region and one species recovered from natural habitats of tehran are illustrated based on morphological, morphometric and molecular characters. the first species, p. crenicauda is characterized mainly by its lip region with three-four annuli, lateral field with four incisures areolated throughout the length and having rod s...

DNA sequences of the D2-D3 expansion segments of the 28S gene of ribosomal DNA from 23 taxa of the subfamily Hoplolaiminae were obtained and aligned to infer phylogenetic relationships. The D2 and D3 expansion regions are G-C rich (59.2%), with up to 20.7% genetic divergence between Scutellonema brachyurum and Hoplolaimus concaudajuvencus. Molecular phylogenetic analysis using maximum likelihoo...
