Four Oriental species of Aerumnosa Mohrig, 1999 (Diptera: Sciaridae), a genus previously known only from Papua New Guinea, are newly described and illustrated: Aerumnosa bituberculata sp. n. (India), A. gemmifera sp. n. (Malaysia: Sabah), A. horrifica sp. n. (Brunei, Thailand) and A. impar sp. n. (Malaysia: Sabah). On the basis of the new material, the

Multigene Phylogenetic Analysis of Pathogenic Candida Species in the Kazachstania ( Arxiozyma ) telluris Complex and Description of Their Ascosporic States as Kazachstania bovina sp. nov., K. heterogenica sp. nov., K. pintolopesii sp. nov., and K. slooffiae sp. nov [PDF]
ABSTRACT A yeast causing widespread infection of laboratory mice was identified from 26S rRNA gene sequences as Candida pintolopesii . To determine the relationship of C. pintolopesii with other members of the Kazachstania ( Arxiozyma )

Phylogenetic Analysis of the UDP-glycosyltransferase Multigene Family of Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
A class of UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) defined by the presence of a C-terminal consensus sequence is found throughout the plant and animal kingdoms. Whereas mammalian enzymes use UDP-glucuronic acid, the plant enzymes typically use UDP-glucose in the transfer reactions. A diverse array of aglycones can be glucosylated by these UGTs.

A multigene analysis of the phylogenetic relationships among the flaviviruses (Family: Flaviviridae) and the evolution of vector transmission [PDF]
The genus Flavivirus (family Flaviviridae) presently comprises around 70 single-strand positive-sense RNA viruses. These replicate in a range of vertebrate and invertebrate cells and may be mosquito-borne, tick-borne or have no-known-vector. Since transmission mode correlates strongly with phylogeny, the flaviviruses constitute a valuable model for the

DNA multigene sequencing of topotypic specimens of the fascioliasis vector Lymnaea diaphana and phylogenetic analysis of the genus Pectinidens (Gastropoda) [PDF]
Freshwater lymnaeid snails are crucial in defining transmission and epidemiology of fascioliasis. In South America, human endemic areas are related to high altitudes in Andean regions. The species Lymnaea diaphana has, however, been involved in low altitude areas of Chile, Argentina and Peru where human infection also occurs. Complete nuclear ribosomal

A multigene approach to phylogenetic analysis using the genus Mycobacterium as a model [PDF]
Advances in DNA sequencing and the increasing number of sequences available in databases have greatly enhanced the bacterial identification process. Several species within the genusMycobacteriumcause serious human and animal diseases. In order to assess their relative positions in the evolutionary process, four gene fragments, from the 16S rRNA (564 bp)

Phylogenetic analysis reveals gene conversions in multigene families of rhizobia
Gene families are an important and intrinsic trait of rhizobial species. These gene copies can participate in non-reciprocal recombination events, also called gene conversions. Gene conversion has diverse roles, but it is usually implicated in the evolution of multigene families.

Phylogenetic analysis of Themira (Sepsidae: Diptera): sensitivity analysis, alignment, and indel treatment in a multigene study [PDF]
AbstractIn this study we use sensitivity analysis sensuWheeler (1995) for a matrix entirely composed of DNA sequences. We propose that not only congruence but also phylogenetic structure, as measured by character resampling, should be used to choose among competing weighting regimes.
