| new rabies virus variant found during an epizootic in white-nosed coatis from the yucatan peninsula. | in february 2008, three white-nosed coatis (nasua narica) were found dead in a recreational park in cancun, mexico. the diagnosis of rabies virus (rabv) infection was confirmed by direct immunofluorescence test. the phylogenetic analysis performed with the complete rabv nucleoprotein gene positioned this isolate close to a sequence of a human rabies case reported during 2008 from oaxaca, mexico, sharing 93% similarity. in turn, these two variants are related to another variant found in rabid tad ... | 2010 | 20392303 |
| the importance of molecular analyses for understanding the genetic diversity of histoplasma capsulatum: an overview. | advances in the classification of the human pathogen histoplasma capsulatum (h. capsulatum) (ascomycete) are sustained by the results of several genetic analyses that support the high diversity of this dimorphic fungus. the present mini-review highlights the great genetic plasticity of h. capsulatum. important records with different molecular tools, mainly single- or multi-locus sequence analyses developed with this fungus, are discussed. recent phylogenetic data with a multi-locus sequence anal ... | 2014 | 24252830 |
