Phylogeny, molecular dating and zoogeographic history of the titi monkeys (Callicebus, Pitheciidae) of eastern Brazil
Publication date: Available online 2 March 2018 Source:Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution Author(s): Jeferson Carneiro, Iracilda Sampaio, José de Sousa e Silva-Júnior, Izeni Farias, Tomas Hrbek, Alcides Pissinatti, Ronylson Silva, Antônio Martins-Junior, Jean Boubli, Stephen Francis Ferrari, Horacio Schneider The titi monkeys belong to a genus of New World primates endemic to South America, which were recently reclassified in three genera (Cheracebus, Plecturocebus and Callicebus). The genus Callicebus, which currently includes five species, is endemic to eastern Brazil, occurring in the Caatinga, Savanna, and Atlan...

A phylogeny of the only ground-dwelling radiation of Cyrtodactylus (Squamata, Gekkonidae): diversification of Geckoella across peninsular India and Sri Lanka
Publication date: January 2015 Source:Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, Volume 82, Part A Author(s): Ishan Agarwal , K. Praveen Karanth The subgenus Geckoella, the only ground-dwelling radiation within Cyrtodactylus, closely overlaps in distribution with brookii group Hemidactylus in peninsular India and Sri Lanka. Both groups have Oligocene origins, the latter with over thrice as many described species. The striking difference in species richness led us to believe that Geckoella diversity is underestimated, and we sampled for Geckoella across peninsular India. A multi-locus phylogeny reveals Geckoella diversity is ...

Biogeographic patterns and diversification dynamics of the genus Cardiodactylus Saussure (Orthoptera, Grylloidea, Eneopterinae) in Southeast Asia
Publication date: December 2018Source: Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, Volume 129Author(s): Jiajia Dong, Gael J. Kergoat, Natállia Vicente, Cahyo Rahmadi, Shengquan Xu, Tony RobillardAbstractSoutheast Asia harbors an extraordinary species richness and endemism. While only covering 4% of the Earth’s landmass, this region includes four of the planet’s 34 biodiversity hotspots. Its complex geological history generated a megadiverse and highly endemic biota, attracting a lot of attention, especially in the field of island biogeography. Here we used the cricket genus Cardiodactylus as a model system to study biogeog...

Phylogenetics and biogeography of the endemic Madagascan millipede assassin bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Ectrichodiinae)
Publication date: July 2016 Source:Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, Volume 100 Author(s): Michael Forthman, Christiane Weirauch For at least the past 80my, Madagascar, a major biodiversity hotspot, has been isolated from all other landmasses. This long-term isolation, along with geologic and climatic factors within Madagascar and throughout the Indian Ocean, has undoubtedly influenced the evolution of the island’s biota. However, few systematic analyses incorporating modern divergence dating and biogeographic analyses have focused on Madagascan insects. The diverse Madagascan millipede assassin bugs (Heteropter...

Myrteae phylogeny, calibration, biogeography and diversification patterns: Increased understanding in the most species rich tribe of Myrtaceae
Publication date: April 2017 Source:Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, Volume 109 Author(s): Thais N.C. Vasconcelos, Carol E.B. Proença, Berhaman Ahmad, Daniel S.

Out of southern Africa: Origin, biogeography and age of the Aizooideae (Aizoaceae)
Publication date: April 2017 Source:Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, Volume 109 Author(s): Cornelia Klak, Pavel Hanáček, Peter V. Bruyns The Aizooideae is an early-diverging lineage within the Aizoaceae. It is most diverse in southern Africa, but also has endemic species in Australasia, Eurasia and South America. We derived a phylogenetic hypothesis from Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood analyses of plastid DNA-sequences. We find that one of the seven genera, the fynbos-endemic Acrosanthes, does not belong to the Aizooideae, but is an ancient sister-lineage to the subfamilies Mesembryanthemoideae & Ruschioid...

Madagascar sheds new light on the molecular systematics and biogeography of grammitid ferns: new unexpected lineages and numerous long-distance dispersal events
Publication date: Available online 6 March 2017 Source:Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution Author(s): Lucie Bauret, Myriam Gaudeul, Michael A. Sundue, Barbara S. Parris, Tom A. Ranker, France Rakotondrainibe, Sabine Hennequin, Jaona Ranaivo, Marc-André Selosse, Germinal Rouhan Based on a worldwide phylogenetic framework filling the taxonomic gap of Madagascar and surrounding islands of the Western Indian Ocean (WIO), we revisited the systematics of grammitid fern species (Polypodiaceae). We also investigated the biogeographic origin of the extant diversity in Madagascar and estimated the relative influence of vicarianc...

Hepatitis E virus infection and acute‐on‐chronic liver failure in West Africa: a case–control study from The Gambia
ConclusionsHepatitis E virus infection is endemic in The Gambia, where both faecal‐oral route (contaminated water) and zoonotic transmission (pigs/pork meat) may be important. However, acute HEV was not a common cause of acute‐on‐chronic liver failure in The Gambia.

Vaccination is fundamental but can it escape from a more insightful and critical information about its action?
Publication date: Available online 29 July 2017 Source:Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology Author(s): Salvatore Chirumbolo, Geir Bjørklund The recent news about the US President Donald Trump's tweet on the presumptive relationship between vaccines and autism published in Nature Seven Days (Nature, n 542, Feb 16th, 2017 p 276) raised a crowded outcry of criticisms and concerns not only about the US President's policy but on the safety of vaccines, putting again in the spotlight this fundamental medical issue.Aside from the provocative boutade of the US President, with echoes also in Italy, the scientific community s...

Functional gastrointestinal disorders in children from low socio ‐economic status and Helicobacter pylori infection
ConclusionsFGIDs are common in low SES students. A low educational level of the household head, family history of gastric cancer. and being female are related to the development of FGIDs. In this study, no relationship between the presence of H. pylori and FGIDs was found.

Evolutionary dynamics of a cycad obligate pollination mutualism – Pattern and process in extant Macrozamia cycads and their specialist thrips pollinators
Publication date: December 2015 Source:Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, Volume 93 Author(s): D.R. Brookes, J.P. Hereward, L.I. Terry, G.H. Walter Obligate pollination mutualisms are rare and few have been investigated deeply. This paper focuses on one such mutualism involving thrips in the genus Cycadothrips that pollinate cycads in the genus Macrozamia. Both represent old lineages relative to insects and plants generally, are endemic to Australia, and are mutually co-dependent. The phylogenetic analyses presented here demonstrate that the pollinator is much more diverse than previously considered, with each po...

Asbestos knowledge and awareness level in central part of Anatolia.
Conclusion In this region of Anatolia, knowledge and awareness level of asbestos was low among people at risk for environmental asbestos exposure. People should be aware of asbestos and its hazards by a well-designed training program and be monitored for asbestos-related diseases.

Human monkeypox outbreak: global prevalence and biological, epidemiological and clinical characteristics - observational analysis between 1970-2022
CONCLUSIONS: The geographic pattern of monkeypox disease spread is rapidly shifting from endemic to non-endemic regions. It now involves not only Africa but also Europe, the USA, the UK, Australia and the Middle East. The clinical characteristics of monkeypox infection are mostly mild symptoms, including headache, lymphadenopathy, body aches, severe weakness, and acute onset of fever above 38.5 degrees Centigrade. A skin rash originates as macules or papules, progresses to pustules and vesicles, ulcers, and eventually to crusted scabs. The regional and international health establishments must take priority preventive proce...
