| gnathostoma spinigerum owen, 1836 (nematoda: gnathostomidae) from a civet cat, prionodon linsang hardwick, with reference to its dietary habits. | the recovery of six adult gnathostoma spinigerum owen, 1936 from a civet cat, prionodon linsang hardwick, constitutes the second reported record of this parasite and the first authenticated case of adult worms found in a wild animal from malaysia. the food habits of the infected p. linsang as an important link in the transmission of g. spinigerum in the intermediate and definitive hosts together with the probable distribution of this parasite are discussed. | 1976 | 1025748 |
| ancestral mitogenome capture of the southeast asian banded linsang. | utilising a reconstructed ancestral mitochondrial genome of a clade to design hybridisation capture baits can provide the opportunity for recovering mitochondrial sequences from all its descendent and even sister lineages. this approach is useful for taxa with no extant close relatives, as is often the case for rare or extinct species, and is a viable approach for the analysis of historical museum specimens. asiatic linsangs (genus prionodon) exemplify this situation, being rare southeast asian ... | 2020 | 32603327 |
| feline panleukopenia virus as the cause of diarrhea in a banded linsang (prionodon linsang) in thailand. | a banded linsang (prionodon linsang) presented at our hospital with clinical signs of acute diarrhea. fecal samples were positive for canine parvovirus (cpv) as determined by polymerase chain reaction with primers specific for both cpv and feline panleukopenia virus (fpv). the full-length vp2 was cloned, sequenced, and compared with sequences of fpv and cpv strains reported in genbank. the amino acids that determined the host range were similar to those of fpv. moreover, amino acid analysis of v ... | 2019 | 31548471 |
| testing of alignment parameters for ancient samples: evaluating and optimizing mapping parameters for ancient samples using the tapas tool. | high-throughput sequence data retrieved from ancient or other degraded samples has led to unprecedented insights into the evolutionary history of many species, but the analysis of such sequences also poses specific computational challenges. the most commonly used approach involves mapping sequence reads to a reference genome. however, this process becomes increasingly challenging with an elevated genetic distance between target and reference or with the presence of contaminant sequences with hig ... | 2018 | 29533977 |
