The number of undescribed species lichenized fungi has been estimated at roughly 10,000. Describing and cataloging these would take the existing taxonomists several decades; however, support for taxonomy is in decline worldwide. In this paper we emphasize dire need taxonomic expertise lichenology. We bring together 103 colleagues from institutions worldwide to describe a total 100 new fungi, representing wide geographic range. newly described are: Acarospora flavisparsa, A. janae,...
ABSTRACT The causative agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis was recently reclassified as Anaplasma phagocytophilum , unifying previously described bacteria that cause disease in humans, horses, dogs, and ruminants. For the characterization genetic heterogeneity this species, homologue marginale major surface protein 4 gene ( msp4 ) identified, coding region PCR amplified sequenced from a variety sources, including 50 samples United States, Germany, Poland, Norway, Italy, Switzerland A....
Rhipicephalus australis Fuller, the Australian cattle tick, is reinstated and adults larvae redescribed from material collected in Australia. This long ignored boophilid was previously known as R. microplus Canestrini for specimens reported Australia New Caledonia. The of are easily recognized by a combination characters, such ventro-medial spurs palpal segments male, abundant, plumose, pale white setae on dorsum female. Other details, coxal adanal shields more variable among different...
The cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, economically impact industry in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. morphological genetic differences among R. microplus strains have been documented literature, suggesting that biogeographical ecological separation may resulted boophilid ticks from America/Africa those Australia being different species. To test hypothesis presence species, herein we performed a series experiments to characterize reproductive performance...
AbstractThe distribution and ecological 'preferences', in the Nearctic Neotropical regions, of prominent, pathogen-carrying tick Amblyomma cajennense (Fabricius) were reviewed, on basis published literature, satellite imagery, examination several collections. The has been collected from southern U.S.A. (Texas Florida) to northern Argentina, but is probably absent Uruguay Brazil (the few records species these areas represent mis-identifications). conditions prevailing where reported...
Abstract Background The tick-borne pathogen Anaplasma marginale , which is endemic worldwide, the type species of genus (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae). Rhipicephalus ( Boophilus ) microplus most important tick vector A. in tropical and subtropical regions world. Despite extensive characterization genetic diversity geographic strains using major surface protein sequences, little known about biogeography evolution other species. For MSP1a was shown to be involved vector-pathogen...
