| morphological and molecular diversity of the monocercomonadid genera monocercomonas, hexamastix, and honigbergiella gen. nov. | the family monocercomonadidae (parabasala, trichomonadida) is characterized by the absence of a costa and in most species also of an undulating membrane; both of which are typical structures of trichomonadids. we have examined 25 isolates of monocercomonadidae species by sequencing of the ssu rdna and the its region and by light and transmission electron microscopy. the isolates formed three distinct phylogenetically unrelated clades: (1) monocercomonas colubrorum, (2) monocercomonas ruminantium ... | 2007 | 17499022 |
| molecular characterization of various trichomonad species isolated from humans and related mammals in indonesia. | trichomonad species inhabit a variety of vertebrate hosts; however, their potential zoonotic transmission has not been clearly addressed, especially with regard to human infection. twenty-one strains of trichomonads isolated from humans (5 isolates), pigs (6 isolates), rodents (6 isolates), a water buffalo (1 isolate), a cow (1 isolate), a goat (1 isolate), and a dog (1 isolate) were collected in indonesia and molecularly characterized. the dna sequences of the partial 18s small subunit ribosoma ... | 2014 | 25352694 |
