Phyllostomidae batPhyllostomus discolorfrom midwestern Brazil. In contrast, the piroplasmid cytochrome b mitochondrial gene (cytB) sequences obtained fromT. pachyurusclustered into a single clade. In conclusion,
hispidus. These findings highlight the importance of considering species-specific interactions between host traits and environmental factors for understanding the dynamics of ticks infestation in rodents. Our results contribute to a growing body of evidence on the complexity of tick-rodent host dynamics ...
duncani using hamster red blood cells (RBC) was established as early as 1994 [16, 17], and the development of serum-free culture medium has reduced both the complexity and cost of research on this pathogen [18]. In addition to the mature in vitro cultivation system, the establishment of ...
This approach also lead us to four-kingdom classification, but with different groups: Monera, Protista, Vegetabilia and Animalia, which represent different steps of in- creased complexity of living things, from simple prokaryotic cell to compound eukaryotic cell and further to tissue/organ cell ...
Although debate continues, there is agreement that dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) were first domesticated in Eurasia, spreading from there to other parts of
Although these different example vignettes make it clear that there is no simple answer, it is also obvious that the use of molecular tools for different protozoa in different wildlife hosts has enabled improved understanding of the complexity of the situation. These examples also highlight the chal...
Significant progress has been made in the study ofB. duncani. An in vitro culture system forB. duncaniusing hamster red blood cells (RBC) was established as early as 1994 [16,17], and the development of serum-free culture medium has reduced both the complexity and cost of research on thi...
Despite the complexity of the genetic structure ofI. ricinuspopulations,two patterns have been consistently shown, regardless of the approach used: the genetic distance of ticks on the British Islands compared with that of populations in North Africa [2,3,4] and the genetic dissimilarity between th...
