We report the discovery and genome sequence of a cluster EK bacteriophage, KingKamren, isolated from soil sample collected in Plattsburgh, New York using bacteria Microbacterium foliorum , B-24224. Its 54,721 bp contains 51 putative genes, 17 which have predicted functions.
Climate change stressors will place different selective pressures on both parasites and their hosts, forcing individuals to modify life‐history strategies altering the distribution prevalence of disease. Few studies have investigated whether are able respond host stress by varying reproductive schedules. Additionally, multiple environmental can limit ability a adaptively parasite infection. This study compared parameters in unstressed drought‐stressed environments using human parasite,...
Schistosome parasites cause a chronic inflammatory disease in humans, and recent studies have emphasized the importance of control programs for understanding aquatic phases schistosomiasis transmission. The host-seeking behavior larval schistosomes (miracidia) their snail intermediate hosts plays critical role parasite Using field-derived strains Kenyan snails parasites, we tested two main hypotheses: (1) Parasites prefer most compatible host, (2) avoid that are already infected. We...
We report the discovery and genome sequence of CandC, a lytic bacteriophage with siphovirus morphology. CandC was isolated from soil sample Plattsburgh, NY, USA (Fall 2021). It has size 62,344 bp 106 predicted protein-encoding genes, 30 which are assigned putative functions.
The professional identity of scientists has historically been cultivated to value research over teaching, which can undermine initiatives that aim reform science education. Course-Based Research Experiences (CRE) and the inclusive Education Communities (iREC) are two successful impactful efforts integrate teaching. this study is explicate instructors who implement a CRE within an established iREC explore how contributes success these programs. 97 from Science Alliance (SEA) participated in...
The manipulation of host organisms by their parasites has captured the attention ecologists, parasitologists, and public. However, our knowledge parasite behavior independent a is limited despite far-reaching implications behavior. Parasite behaviors can help explain trematode community structure, aggregation within populations, potentially be harnessed in biocontrol measures. In this study, we used simple choice chamber design to examine whether detect infection status potential avoid hosts...
Parasite genetic variation has been used to delineate and enumerate species, describe host-parasite associations, observe the distribution of lineages among hosts throughout environment.Mechanisms or pathways inferred by these studies have often carried forward in a predictive manner inform assumptions about organism's biology, its life history, interactions.For medically relevant parasites, observations undoubtedly proven useful for fuller epidemiological understanding parasite transmission...
Abstract Transformation of research in all biological fields necessitates the design, analysis and, interpretation large data sets. Preparing students with requisite skills experimental statistical analysis, and interpretation, mathematical reasoning will require both curricular reform faculty who are willing able to integrate concepts into their life science courses. A new Faculty Learning Community (FLC) was constituted each year for four years assist transformation sciences curriculum at...
This authentic research experience lesson teaches the core concept of systems and competencies quantitative reasoning, communication, ability to apply science. The is student driven, results are unknown, students engage in an iterative process gather data, collaborating with classmates. It designed for first-year biology majors, a class size 15-30 who can work groups three. Students will learn properly design experiment, as teams, analyze evaluate conclusions, communicate...
