| genetic polymorphism and zoonotic potential of enterocytozoon bieneusi from nonhuman primates in china. | enterocytozoon bieneusi is an important zoonotic pathogen. to assess the human-infective potential of e. bieneusi in nonhuman primates (nhps), we examined the prevalence and genotype distribution of e. bieneusi in 23 nhp species by pcr and sequence analysis of the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (its). a total of 1,386 fecal specimens from nhps from five provinces in china were examined, and e. bieneusi was detected in 158 (11.4%) specimens from five nhp species, including cynomolgus monke ... | 2014 | 24413605 |
| genetic diversity and differentiation of the rhesus macaque (macaca mulatta) population in western sichuan, china, based on the second exon of the major histocompatibility complex class ii dqb (mhcmamu-dqb1) alleles. | rhesus macaques living in western sichuan, china, have been separated into several isolated populations due to habitat fragmentation. previous studies based on the neutral or nearly neutral markers (mitochondrial dna or microsatellites) showed high levels of genetic diversity and moderate genetic differentiation in the sichuan rhesus macaques. variation at the major histocompatibility complex (mhc) loci is widely accepted as being maintained by balancing selection, even with a low level of neutr ... | 2014 | 24930092 |
