In these companion papers, we attempt to address at least some of the limitations of the studies published to date. Our experimental plan was to (i) focus on an environment rather than on a sample, (ii) scale up sequencing efforts proportionally to the large number of samples required to ...
Studies of gut bacteria from wild and laboratory populations of Lu. longipalpis, Phlebotomus and different vector insects have shown a larger proportion of Gram-negative bacteria [19, 60–62]. The dominance of Gram-negative bacteria may be associated with partial or complete inhibitory activity on...
Although this technology may not be suitable for discovering novel taxa, recent studies have shown both its advantage over 16S rDNA library sequencing (DeSantis et al., 2007) and applicability to a variety of environmental samples including subsurface water, urban aerosols or uranium con- taminat...

The phylogenetic position of this parasite may be better resolved in the future with the addition of molecular samples of other taxa of fish apicomplexan blood parasites, including known Haemogregarina spp. of fishes, and the use of other molecular markers such as mitochondrial (mtDNA) in ...
