Swine and poultry pathogens: The complete genome sequences of two strains of My...
Vasconcelos, Ana Tereza; Ferreira, Henrique Bunselmeyer; Bizarro, Cristiano Valim; Bonatto, Sandro L.; Carvalho, Marcos O.; Pinto, Paulo MarcosThis work reports the results of analyses of three complete mycoplasma genomes, a pathogenic (7448) and a nonpathogenic (J) strain of the swine pathogen Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and a strain of the avian pathogen Mycoplasma synoviae; the genome sizes of the three strains were 920,079 bp, 897,405 bp, and 799,476 bp, respectively. These genomes were compared with other sequenced mycoplasma genomes reported in the...
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...
The complete genome sequence of Chromobacterium violaceum reveals remarkable an...
Vasconcelos, Ana Tereza; De-Almeida, Darcy Fontoura; Hungría, Mariangela; Guimarães, Cláudia Teixeira; Antônio, Regina VasconcellosChromobacterium violaceum is one of millions of species of free-living microorganisms that populate the soil and water in the extant areas of tropical biodiversity around the world. Its complete genome sequence reveals (i) extensive alternative pathways for energy generation, (ii) ≈500 ORFs for transport-related proteins, (iii) complex and extensive systems for stress adaptation and motility, and (iv) wide-spre...

Colonization of artificial ecotopes by Panstrongylus megistus at Santa Catarina...
Steindel, Mário; Toma, Helena Keiko; Carvalho Pinto, Carlos José de; Grisard, Edmundo Carlos; Schlemper Jr, Bruno RodolfoThe aim of this work was to verify the colonization of Panstrongylus megistus on artificial ecotopes in Florianópolis, in the Santa Catarina Island, South Brazil. For this purpose 443 houses of the Lagoa district and 779 house annexes (524 chicken-houses, 46 corrals and 209 storage-houses) in 9 different places were examined from 1985 to 1992. These ecotopes, which include ceilings and basements, were checked a...
