The role of zoos in conservation programmes has increased significantly last decades, and the health captive animals is essential to guarantee success such programmes. However, zoo birds suffer from parasitic infections, which often are caused by malaria parasites related haemosporidians. Studies determining occurrence diversity these parasites, aiming better understanding infection influence on fitness birds, limited. In 2011–2015, prevalence Plasmodium spp. Haemoproteus was examined blood...
Targeted regulation of protein levels is an important tool to gain insights into the role proteins essential cell function and development. In recent years, a method based on mutated forms human FKBP12 has been established used great effect in various types explore function. The FKBP protein, referred as destabilization domain (DD) tag when fused with native at N- or C-terminus targets for proteosomal degradation. Regulated expression achieved via addition compound, Shld-1, that stabilizes...
Culex is the largest subgenus within genus that includes important vectors of diseases. The correct identification mosquitoes critical for effective control strategies. Wing geometric morphometrics (WGM) has been used to identify mosquito species alongside traditional methods. Here, WGM was eleven from São Paulo, Brazil, and one Esquel, Argentina. Adult were collected using CDC (Centers Disease Control) traps, morphologically identified analyzed by WGM. canonical variate analysis (CVA)...
Avian malaria parasites are widespread transmitted by Culicidae insects belonging to different genera. Even though several studies have been conducted recently, there is still a lack of information about potential vectors Plasmodium parasites, especially in Neotropical regions. Former with free-living and captive animals São Paulo Zoo showed the presence Haemoproteus species. In 2015, pilot study was at zoo collect mosquitoes order find out (i) which species present area, (ii) what their...
