Multi-host model-based identification of Armillifer agkistrodontis (Pentastomida), a new zoonotic parasite from China [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: Pentastomiasis is a rare parasitic infection of humans. Pentastomids are dioecious obligate parasites requiring multiple hosts to complete their lifecycle. Despite their worm-like appearance, they are commonly placed into a separate sub-class

Molekularphylogenetische Analysen der Ecdysozoa und Haemosporida

, 2017
The advent of molecular phylogenetics has revolutionized our understanding of the tree of life. In my PhD thesis, I have aimed to elucidate various aspects of the deep phylogeny of Ecdysozoa and Haemosporida employing classical PCR-based approaches, next-

Evidence for a conserved CCAP-signaling pathway controlling ecdysis in a hemimetabolous insect, Rhodnius prolixus

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
A vital feature in the success of Ecdysozoa is their ability to shed their exoskeleton (a process called ecdysis) such that they can grow or change their morphology.

The phylogeny of the mammalian heme peroxidases and the evolution of their diverse functions [PDF]

, 2008
The mammalian heme peroxidases (MHPs) are a medically important group of enzymes. Included in this group are myeloperoxidase, eosinophil peroxidase, lactoperoxidase, and thyroid peroxidase.

Mixed evolutionary origins of endogenous biomass-depolymerizing enzymes in animals

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Animals are thought to achieve lignocellulose digestion via symbiotic associations with gut microbes; this view leads to significant focus on bacteria and fungi for lignocellulolytic systems.

Palaeontological and Molecular Evidence Linking Arthropods, Onychophorans, and other Ecdysozoa [PDF]

Evolution: Education and Outreach, 2009
Membership of Arthropoda in a clade of molting animals, the Ecdysozoa, has received a growing body of support over the past 10 years from analyses of DNA sequences from many genes together with morphological characters involving the cuticle and its molting.

Phylogeny and mitochondrial gene order variation in Lophotrochozoa in the light of new mitogenomic data from Nemertea

BMC Genomics, 2009
Background The new animal phylogeny established several taxa which were not identified by morphological analyses, most prominently the Ecdysozoa (arthropods, roundworms, priapulids and others) and Lophotrochozoa (molluscs, annelids, brachiopods and ...

Inference of essential genes in Brugia malayi and Onchocerca volvulus by machine learning and the implications for discovering new interventions

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal
Detailed explorations of the model organisms Caenorhabditis elegans (elegant worm) and Drosophila melanogaster (vinegar fly) have substantially improved our knowledge and understanding of biological processes and pathways in metazoan organisms. Extensive
