Cryptobia iubilans in Cichlids
EDIS, 2014 After many years of diagnostics at the University of Florida and at other laboratories around the country, it appears that Cryptobia iubilans is not uncommon among cichlids, and that environmental and other factors determine the extent of disease.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Cichlids inhabiting the Great Lakes of Africa have radiated extremely rapidly, with Lake Malaŵi harboring some 850 species. This rapid radiation may be linked to the diversity in behaviors, sexual selection, and phenotypic plasticity.

Possible Involvement of Ghost Introgressions in the Striking Diversity of Vomeronasal Type 1 Receptor Genes in East African Cichlids [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionCichlids that have undergone adaptive radiation are genetically close but exhibit extreme ecological and morphological diversity, making them useful for understanding speciation mechanisms.

Oca2 targeting using CRISPR/Cas9 in the Malawi cichlid Astatotilapia calliptera
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Identifying genetic loci underlying trait variation provides insights into the mechanisms of diversification, but demonstrating causality and characterizing the role of genetic loci requires testing candidate gene function, often in non-model species ...

The Evolutionary Dynamics of the Mitochondrial tRNA in the Cichlid Fish Family
Biology, 2022 The mitochondrial transfer RNA genes (tRNAs) attract more attention due to their highly dynamic and rapidly evolving nature. The current study aimed to detect and evaluate the dynamics, characteristic patterns, and variations of mitochondrial tRNAs.

Treatment of deep second-degree burns on the abdomen, thighs, and genitalia: use of tilapia skin as a xenograft [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica, 2020 Tilapia skin has a non-infectious microbiota and a morphological structure similar to human skin. Phase II clinical studies, not yet published, have shown promising results in their use for the treatment of burns.

Cichlids as a Model System for Studying Social Behaviour and Evolution [PDF]
, 2021 The complex social behaviour of cichlids has fascinated scientists and hobbyists alike for almost 100 years. In this chapter, we review the breadth and complexity of cichlid behaviour, particularly with respect to social interactions. We present the case
