NATURAL CANINE INFECTION BY LEISHMANIA INFANTUM AND LEISHMANIA AMAZONENSIS AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR DISEASE CONTROL

Natural canine infection by Leishmania infantum and Leishmania amazonensis and their implications for disease control

Abstract Leishmaniasis is a major public health problem worldwide.Because Leishmania can adapt to new hosts or vectors, knowledge concerning the current etiological agent in dogs is important in endemic areas.This study aimed to identify the Leishmania species detected in 103 samples of peripheral blood from dogs that were naturally infected with t

Recombination Events Generating a Novel Rp1 Race Specificity

Genes at the maize Rpl rust resistance complex often mispair in meiosis, which allows genes to recombine unequally, creating recombinant haplotypes.Four recombinant haplotypes were identified from progeny of an Rpl-D/Rpl-I heterozygote MACASURE that conferred a nonparental resistance specificity designated Rpl-I*.Sequence comparisons of paralogs in
