Dicyemids and orthonectids were traditionally classified in a group called Mesozoa, but their placement single clade has been contested position(s) within Metazoa is uncertain. Here, we assembled comprehensive matrix of Lophotrochozoa (Metazoa) investigated the position Dicyemida (= Rhombozoa) Orthonectida, employing multiple phylogenomic approaches. We sequenced seven new transcriptomes one draft genome from dicyemids ( Dicyema , Dicyemennea ) two Rhopalura ). Using these published data,...
Although an increased interest in several areas of cephalopod research emerged over the last years (e.g., neurobiology, aquaculture, genetics, welfare), especially after their inclusion EU Directive on use animals for experimental purposes, studies parasites are still lacking. Cephalopods can be intermediate, reservoir or definitive hosts to a range with wide variety life cycle strategies. Here, we briefly overview current knowledge and gaps parasitological research, summarizing main...
Ligula intestinalis (Cestoda: Diphyllobothriidae) is an emerging model organism for studies on parasite population biology and host–parasite interactions. However, a well-resolved genome catalogue of its gene content has not been previously developed. Here, we present the first assembly L. , based Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Illumina Omni-C sequencing methodologies. We use transcriptome profiling to compare plerocercoid larvae adult worms identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs)...
Abstract Population structure and biogeography of marine organisms are formed by different drivers than in terrestrial organisms. Yet, very little information is available even for common less their associated parasites. Here we report the first analysis population both a cephalopod host ( Sepia officinalis ) its dicyemid parasite, based on homologous molecular marker (cytochrome oxidase I). We show that cuttlefish Mediterranean area fragmented into subpopulations, with some areas featuring...
In preeclampsia the cytotrophoblast invasion of decidual vessels is reduced. The endothelia in may influence and remodeling spiral arteries. endothelial cells from preeclamptic placentas produce less matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP1) than those normal placentas. MMPs form a group enzymes that are capable degrading components extracellular matrix. present study investigated prevalence possible association an insertion guanine promoter MMP1 gene pregnancy-induced hypertension, eclampsia Czech...
