16S rRNA gene-based identification of microbiota associated with the parthenoge...
Alves de Sousa, Katianne Barbosa; Silva, Túllio Romão Ribeiro da; Alencar, Ronildo Baiatone; Baton, Luke A.; Naveca, Felipe GomesBacteria associated with the parthenogenetic troglobiont sand fly Deanemyia maruaga were characterized by sequencing cloned 16S rDNA PCR products. Eleven novel partial 16S rDNA sequences, with varying degrees of similarity to Actinobacteria, were identified. None of the sequences identified had homology to those known from parthenogenesis-inducing bacteria. © 2013, Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia.
Geographical distribution of American cutaneous leishmaniasis and its phlebotom...
Shimabukuro, Paloma Helena Fernandes; Silva, Túllio Romão Ribeiro da; Ribeiro, Frederico Octávio Fonseca; Baton, Luke A.Background: American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is a re-emerging disease in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It is important to understand both the vector and disease distribution to help design control strategies. As an initial step in applying geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing (RS) tools to map disease-risk, the objectives of the present work were to: (i) produce a single database of s...
