In a series of related studies Cort and his associates have presented information on the early larval stages trematodes belonging to groups Strigeata (Cort Olivier, 1941), Schistosomatoidea 1943b; Cort, Ameel, 1944), Plagiorchioidea 1943a; Fasciolatoidea (Cort, Van der Woude, 1948). these investigations morphology was studied in considerable detail special emphasis placed determination method reproduction. Prior studies, detailed developmental mentioned very meager. Two dealt with...
Summary and Conclusions 1. Light plays an important role in the emergence of Schistosoma japonicum cercariae from their Chinese snail host, Oncomelania Hupensis. 2. Temperature a less since our experience no quantitative difference was observed between 15° 35°C. Shedding some snails occurred at 5°C. but number shed small. 3. Water with pH values ranging 6.6 to 7.8 seemed equally suitable for shedding S. cercariae. 4. Tap water filtered river were both distilled unfavorable. 5. Infected kept...
Swallowtail butterflies (Papilionidae) are a historically significant butterfly group due to their colorful wing patterns, extensive morphological diversity, and phylogenetically important position as sister all other have been widely studied regarding ecological adaption, phylogeny, genetics, evolution. Notably, they contain unique class of pigments, i.e., papiliochromes, which contribute color diversity various biological functions such predator avoidance mate preference. To date, however,...
Here we report a new twisted-wing parasite species of the family Xenidae based on both morphological and molecular evidence. By using nearly complete mitogenomes, confirmed parasites two wasps (Vespavelutina Vespabicolor) (China: Yunnan) as same species, associated its neotenic females alate males. Combining mitogenomic data (COI) traits, this was identified to be genus Xenos, namely Xenosyangi Dong, Liu & Li, sp. nov. Detailed descriptions illustrations are provided for species.
Stag beetles (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) represent a significant saproxylic assemblage in forest ecosystems and are noted for their enlarged mandibles male polymorphism. Despite relevance as ideal models the study of exaggerated that aid attracting mates, regulatory mechanisms associated with these traits remain understudied, restricted by lack high-quality reference genomes stag beetles. To address this limitation, we successfully assembled first chromosome-level genome representative species...
Abstract Callosobruchus maculatus is one of the most competitive stored grain pests, which causes a great loss to agricultural economy. However, due an inadequacy high-quality reference genome, molecular mechanisms for olfactory and hypoxic adaptations environments are unknown require be revealed urgently, will contribute detection prevention invasive pests C. . Here, we presented chromosome-level genome based on Illumina, Nanopore Hi-C sequencing data. The total size was 1.2 Gb, 65.17%...
Extensive research on schistosomiasis was made in China 1956 with the National Research Council Schistosomiasis spearheading project. During second session of held from December 4 to 12, 1956, more than 200 papers were presented, essentials which are as follows:Epidemiological studiesThe year an important one for it first designated seven twelve years is be liquidated country. It also when all technical, material and personnel preparations had huge undertaking.Armed general knowledge...
Butterflies are diverse in virtually all aspects of their ontogeny, including morphology, life history, and behavior. However, the developmental regulatory mechanisms underlying important phenotypic traits butterflies at different stages remain unknown. Here, we investigated profiles based on transposase accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) three two representative species (<i>Papilio xuthus</i> <i>Kallima inachus</i>). Results indicated that 15%–47% open peaks appeared associated...
The nearly complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Xenos cf. moutoni, one twisted-wing parasite on wasp Vespa velutina from Southwest China, is described in this study. total length mitogenome 16,717 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNAs), two ribosomal (rRNAs) and an incomplete A + T-rich control region . All the PCGs are initiated with canonical ATN (N represents A, T, G, C) as start codons; 8 terminated a typical stop codon TAA, remaining five (cox2,...
Liangshan cattle are a very small indigenous breed with adult weight of less than 300 Kg and have been mainly distributed in the Yi Autonomous Prefecture Southwestern Sichuan, China. Due to its long-term adaptation local environments, is valuable genetic resource should be paid more attentions. However, diversity not specifically investigated yet, which would required when designing appropriate conservation utilization programs. In this study, we successfully employed...
The nearly complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Phyllium westwoodii, a typical leaf mimic insect in Phasmatodea, was obtained this study. This mitogenome is 17,222 bp length and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNAs), two ribosomal (rRNAs) almost control regions. All PCGs initiate with 'ATN' except for NAD4L that uses 'TTG' as the start codon, terminate 'TAA' COX2 single 'T' residue stop codon. phylogenetic analysis based on concatenated sequences rRNAs...
Papilio machaon was assigned as the type species for all butterflies by Linnaeus and P. bianor is a congener but exhibits great difference in morphology (especially larva adult color pattern) larval host plants from machaon. Thus, they are ideal models to investigate genetic mechanisms underlying plasticity between congeners. The reference genomes of both were dissected our previous studies, little known about their regulatory genome epigenetic regulation gene expression throughout...
Attelabidae insects have attracted much attention due to their unique leaf rolling behavior before oviposition. However, the lack of genomic data makes it difficult understand molecular mechanism behind and evolutionary relationship with other species. To address this gap, we utilized Illumina Nanopore sequencing platforms along Hi-C technology establish a highly accurate whole genome A. dimidiatus at chromosome level. The resulting size was determined be 619.26 Mb, contig N50 50.89 Mb GC...
