| complete mitochondrial genome of tlacuatzin canescens (grayish mouse opossum). | in this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of the grayish mouse opossumm, tlacuatzin canescens. the mitochondrial genome is 16 460 bp in length and has a base composition of a (35.7%), t (31.3%), c (21.3%), and g (11.7%), demonstrating an obvious bias of high at content (67%). the mitochondrial genome contains a typically conserved structure, encoding 13 protein-coding genes (pcgs), 20 transfer rna genes (trna), 2 ribosomal rna genes (12s rrna and 16s rrna), and a control region ... | 2017 | 26714099 |
| a new genus and species of pinworm (nematoda, oxyuridae) from the gray mouse opossum, tlacuatzin canescens. | tlacuatzoxyuris simpsoni n. gen. n. sp. is described from the cecum of the gray opossum, tlacuatzin canescens, a species endemic to the deciduous dry forest of mexico. the digestive tracts of four specimens were examined for parasites; three of these were archived in the american museum of natural history and one was a live capture. relative to the other four monotypic genera of pinworms known to infect opossums, the new genus is diagnosed on the basis of a round cephalic plate with a semicircul ... | 2019 | 31432779 |
