High‐throughput multispecies quantitative polymerase chain reaction assays to study the effects of acute thermal stress in three species of Acipenser sturgeon

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fishes experience thermal stress in their natural environment that can be caused by natural or anthropogenic factors and can directly affect their physiology. In this study, we developed a multispecies OpenArray™ qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) ‘chip’ to measure the effects of acute thermal stress on the mRNA response of ...

Genomic studies on Strongyloides stercoralis in northern and western Thailand

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Strongyloidiasis is a soil borne helminthiasis, which in most cases is caused by Strongyloides stercoralis. Human infections with S. fuelleborni fuelleborni and S. fuelleborni kellyi also occur.

Size‐, sex‐ and site‐dependent morphological variation in the stone flounder (Kareius bicoloratus) from Korean coastal waters

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Kareius bicoloratus is a commercially important flatfish in Korean coastal fisheries and an ecologically relevant benthic species in nearshore ecosystems. To evaluate how multiple biological and environmental factors jointly shape flatfish morphology, we analysed 81 morphometric indices and two‐dimensional geometric morphometrics (GMM) in wild

Mitochondrial genome and cox1 diversity of the European orchard bee

The European Zoological Journal
The subgenus Osmia (Osmia) consists of solitary bees belonging to the family Megachilidae, currently comprising 29 species distributed throughout the Holarctic region. Among them, O. cornuta is one of the most studied and successfully managed species in Europe for orchard pollination. Despite its potential as an efficient pollinator, O.

Two cases of human thelaziasis as confirmed by mitochondrialcox1sequencing in China [PDF]

Pathogens and Global Health, 2014
Two special cases of human thelaziasis were reported in China: an old farmer with heavy infection by 36 worms and a 7-year-old boy with infection by eight worms. Thelazia callipaeda was morphologically identified and confirmed by mitochondrial cox1 gene sequencing.

Older urban rats are infected with the zoonotic nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases
Rats, being synanthropic, are hosts to agents of zoonotic diseases that pose a threat to human and domestic animal health. The nematode parasite Angiostrongylus cantonensis, commonly known as the rat lungworm, is no exception; it can cause potentially ...

DNA barcoding reveals the presence of Whitson's grenadier, Macrourus whitsoni, in sub‐Antarctic waters of South Georgia, Southern Ocean

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Macrourid species constitute the main bycatch in Southern Ocean toothfish longline fisheries. We report the first confirmed record of Whitson's grenadier, Macrourus whitsoni, in the South Georgia toothfish fishery. Mitochondrial cox1 DNA barcoding confirmed its presence in bycatch samples collected around South Georgia and the northern South ...

Genetic diversity and population structure of Echinococcus multilocularis: An in-silico global analysis

Journal of Advanced Veterinary and Animal Research
Objectives: Alveolar echinococcosis is caused by Echinococcus multilocularis, a parasite of zoo¬notic significance with a wide range of intermediate and final hosts, and the parasite survives suc¬cessfully in diversified conditions.

Insights into the translational activation mechanisms of the COX1 mRNA in yeast mitochondria

Journal of Cell Science
ABSTRACT Mitochondrial translation is a crucial regulatory step in mitochondrial genome expression. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, translational activators are believed to bind to the 5′ UTRs of their target mRNAs to position the mitochondrial ribosome at the start codon.

The Role of Coa2 in Hemylation of Yeast Cox1 Revealed by Its Genetic Interaction with Cox10 [PDF]

Molecular and Cellular Biology, 2010
Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells lacking the cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) assembly factor Coa2 are impaired in Cox1 maturation and exhibit a rapid degradation of newly synthesized Cox1. The respiratory deficiency of coa2 Delta cells is suppressed either by the presence of a mutant allele of the Cox10 farnesyl transferase involved in heme a biosynthesis or ...
