Complete mitochondrial genomes of the human follicle mites Demodex brevis and D. folliculorum: novel gene arrangement, truncated tRNA genes, and ancient divergence between species [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Follicle mites of the genus Demodex are found on a wide diversity of mammals, including humans; surprisingly little is known, however, about the evolution of this association.

The genome‐wide response of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus to cystatin A, a peptidase inhibitor from human skin, sheds light on its digestive physiology and allergenicity

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 662-677, December 2024.
The genome of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus was screened for genes encoding peptidases (n = 320), glycosylases (n = 77), lipases and esterases (n = 320), peptidase inhibitors (n = 65) and allergen‐related proteins (n = 52). Ingestion of cystatin A caused the regulation of cysteine endopeptidases and glycosylases, genes acquired by horizontal gene ...

Taxonomic Catalog of the Brazilian Fauna: The Brazilian acarofauna (Arachnida: Holothyrida, Ixodida, Mesostigmata, Opilioacarida, Sarcoptiformes, and Trombidiformes) [PDF]

Zoologia (Curitiba)
The diversity of organisms is one of the most fundamental questions in sciences. Here, we inventory species distributed in 273 families of mites from Brazil.

Another tool in the toolbox: Aphid‐specific Wolbachia protect against fungal pathogens

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2024.
Wolbachia infected more than 80% of Pentalonia aphids sampled across the Hawaiian Islands and other locations. The aphid‐specific M‐supergroup strains of this symbiont protected against a specialist fungal pathogen, Pandora, but not the generalist pathogen Beauveria or the parasitoid Aphidius colemanii.

Two new mite parasites of Natal bats (Listrophoridae, Sarcoptiformes)

Parasitology, 1952
Three species of Listrophorid mites representing two genera, Alabidocarpus and Labidocarpus, are known from the European horse-shoe bat Rhinolophus ferroequinum, and one species of Alabidocarpus, A. nasicolus, has already been described (1938) from the closely related Natal horseshoe bat Rhinolophus geoffroyi zuluensis.

Diet components associated with specific bacterial taxa shape overall gut community compositions in omnivorous African viverrids

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
This study employs DNA metabarcoding on faecal samples to analyse the diets and gut bacterial communities of two African mammals within the order Carnivora: Civettictis civetta and Genetta spp. We demonstrate a significantly higher number of diet taxa than previous morphological studies, offering deeper insights into the feeding behaviours of these ...

DNA metabarcoding reveals seasonal changes in diet composition across four arthropod‐eating lizard species (Phrynosomatidae: Sceloporus)

Integrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 480-495, May 2024.
By applying DNA metabarcoding approach, we explored the seasonal diet variation among four Sceloporus lizard species (S. aeneus, S. bicanthalis, S. grammicus, and S. spinosus) inhabiting a mountainous region in central Mexico. Our results demonstrated that these species are generalist predators feeding on different arthropod orders such as Coleoptera ...
