We determined morphological and molecularly two species of bat flies: T. parasiticus (Streblidae), and B. silvae (Nycteribiidae). We generated the first sequences for both species in the country for the cytochrome oxidase subunit I. We do recover monophyletic groups for both species, and we discussed the tree topology.

Symbiosis in an overlooked microcosm: a systematic review of the bacterial flora of mites [PDF]
A dataset of bacterial diversity found in mites was compiled from 193 publications (from 1964 to January 2015). A total of 143 mite species belonging to the 3 orders (Mesostigmata, Sarcoptiformes and Trombidiformes) were recorded and found to be ...

Rickettsia spp. and Anaplasmataceae in Ticks From Domestic Animals in Northern Colombia
ABSTRACT Introduction Tick‐borne diseases have a significant impact on public and animal health and represent a considerable financial burden on livestock farming. However, in many regions of Latin America, comprehensive epidemiological data, including species identification, geographical distribution and molecular profiling of ticks and their ...

The parthenogenetic mite Labidostomma luteum (Acarina Actinotrichida: Labidostommidae) in Finland [PDF]
Labidostommidae represents the only well sclerotized group of actinedid (prostigmatid) mites in Finland. This study confirms the presence of Labidostomma luteum Kramer, 1879 in southernmost Finland.

The genomes of two parasitic wasps that parasitize the diamondback moth [PDF]
Background: Parasitic insects are well-known biological control agents for arthropod pests worldwide. They are capable of regulating their host’s physiology, development and behaviour. However, many of the molecular mechanisms involved in host-parasitoid

Integrated Pest Management in Pigeonpea: Progress and Prospects
ABSTRACT Pigeonpea is one of the world's most important grain legume crops. Mostly grown and consumed in India, where it is a staple food, pigeonpea production also occurs elsewhere in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Australia. Despite widespread cultivation and staple food status, pigeonpea yields have barely increased over the last half century.

Convergent evolution of cytochrome P450s underlies independent origins of keto-carotenoid pigmentation in animals [PDF]
Keto-carotenoids contribute to many important traits in animals, including vision and coloration. In a great number of animal species, keto-carotenoids are endogenously produced from carotenoids by carotenoid ketolases.
