BACKGROUND The occurrence of clarithromycin resistance among Helicobacter pylori strains is a major cause of the treatment failure. Resistance to this drug is conferred by point mutations in 23S rRNA gene and the most prevalent mutations are A2143G and ...

‘Candidatus Phytoplasma (Ca. P.) solani’ is associated with bois noir (BN) of grapevine and stolbur of solanaceous plants and is primarily transmitted by Hyalesthes obsoletus Signoret. Four tuf‐a and five tuf‐b1 ‘Ca. P. solani’ strains were transmitted to tomato plants (cv. Micro‐Tom) by using bait‐plants and by capturing H.

MITOCHONDRIAL DNA POLYMORPHISMS AND FERTILITY IN BEEF CATTLE [PDF]
Two regions of mitochondrial DNA, D-loop and ND-5 were characterized using polymerase chain reaction – restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) involving 422 beef cattle of Hereford and composite breeds from Wokalup’s ...

Real-time PCR/MCA assay using fluorescence resonance energy transfer for the genotyping of resistance related DHPS-540 mutations in Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine has been abandoned as first- or second-line treatment by most African malaria endemic countries in favour of artemisinin-based combination treatments, but the drug is still used as intermittent preventive treatment ...

Genotoxicity evaluation of acephate and profenofos by the PCR-RFLP assay
In this study we have evaluated the genotoxic potential of pesticides acephate and profenofos by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay with the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus taken as experimental model.Second instar larvae were treated with LC20 of each pesticide for 24 h and induced mutations in the ...

Fly diversity revealed by PCR‐RFLP of mitochondrial DNA [PDF]
AbstractIn this article, we describe an inexpensive, two‐session undergraduate laboratory activity that introduces important molecular biology methods in the context of biodiversity. In the first session, students bring tentatively identified flies (order Diptera, true flies) to the laboratory, extract DNA, and amplify a region of the mitochondrial ...

Coconut rhinoceros beetle Oryctes rhinoceros (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) confirmed in the Americas
Abstract In 2022, a suspected incursion of Oryctes rhinoceros (coconut rhinoceros beetle, CRB) was reported in Bahía de Banderas, Nayarit, México, based on damage symptoms observed on coconut palms and photographs of beetles on a social media site. This prompted collaboration with local biologists and land managers, and a survey of the area with the ...

Genetic diversity among Frankia strains nodulating members of the family Casuarinaceae in Australia revealed by PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis with crushed root nodules [PDF]
DNA extracted directly from nodules was used to assess the genetic diversity of #Frankia# strains symbiotically associated with two species of genus #Casuarina# and two of the genus #Allocasuarina# naturally occuring in northeastern Australia.

Characterization of two new alleles at the goat CSN1S2 locus. [PDF]
Two novel alleles at the goat CSN1S2 locus have been identified: CSN1S2(F) and CSN1S2(D). Sequence analyses revealed that the CSN1S2(F) allele is characterized by a G --> A transition at the 13th nucleotide in exon 3 changing the seventh amino acid of ...

Molecular Testing in Sickle Cell Disease: From Newborn Screening to Transfusion Care
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most frequent monogenic diseases worldwide and a highly heterogeneous and complex disease. SCD care carries several challenges. This includes early and accurate diagnosis as well as optimal red blood cell transfusion matching in this population carrying a high risk of alloimmunization.
