The Genome of Anopheles darlingi, the main neotropical malaria vector
Marinotti, Osvaldo; Cerqueira, Gustavo C.; Almeida, Luiz G.P.; Ferro, Maria Inês Tiraboschi; Loreto, Elgion Lúcio da Silva; Zaha, ArnaldoAnopheles darlingi is the principal neotropical malaria vector, responsible for more than a million cases of malaria per year on the American continent. Anopheles darlingi diverged from the African and Asian malaria vectors ∼100 million years ago (mya) and successfully adapted to the New World environment. Here we present an annotated reference A. darlingi genome, sequenced from a wild population of males and f...
Archaeal community changes associated with cultivation of Amazon Forest soil wi...
Tupinambá, Daiva Domenech; Cantão, Maurício Egídio; Costa, Ohana Yonara Assis; Bergmann, Jessica Carvalho; Kruger, Ricardo Henrique; Kyaw, Cynthia MariaThis study compared soil archaeal communities of the Amazon forest with that of an adjacent area under oil palm cultivation by 16S ribosomal RNA gene pyrosequencing. Species richness and diversity were greater in native forest soil than in the oil palm-cultivated area, and 130 OTUs (13.7%) were shared between these areas. Among the classified sequences, Thaumarchaeota were predominant in the native forest, wher...
