Next generation sequencing of ribosomal DNA is increasingly used to assess the diversity and structure of microbial communities.Here we test the ability of 454 pyrosequencing to detect the number of species present, and assess the relative abundance in terms of cell numbers and biomass of protists in the phylum Haptophyta.We used a mock community c
Three new species of Potamothrix Vejdovský & Mrázek, 1902 (Oligochaeta: Tubificinae), P.praeprostatus sp.n., P.paramoldaviensis sp.n.and P.parabedoti sp.n., tonic shower cap are reported from Fuxian Lake of Yunnan Province, Southwest China.P.praeprostatus differs from its allies by its prostate glands joining atria in its proximal
Abstract The conditions for sex reversal in vertebrate species have been extensively studied, and the results highlighted numerous key factors involved in sex differentiation.However, the transcriptomes in hypothalamic and pituitary tissues click here from intersex goats have rarely been studied.The aim of this study was to screen candidate genes a
Abstract Background Anaplasma phagocytophilum is characterized by a worldwide distribution and distinguished from other Anaplasmataceae by the broadest range of mammalian hosts and high genetic diversity.The role carnivores play in the life cycle of A.phagocytophilum in Europe is uncertain.Currently, only the red fox is considered a suitable reserv
Since the first tonic shower cap description of COVID-19 in December 2019, more than 63,000 publications have described its virology, clinical course, management, treatment and prevention.Most physicians are now encountering, or will soon encounter, patients with COVID-19 and must attempt to simultaneously assimilate this avalanche of information w
