| morphological and molecular studies of a microsporidium (nosema sp.) isolated from the thee spot grass yellow butterfly, eurema blanda arsakia (lepidoptera: pieridae). | a microsporidium possessing molecular and morphological characteristics of the genus nosema was isolated from larvae of the thee-spot grass yellow butterfly, eurema blanda arsakia. the complete rrna gene sequences of the e. blanda isolate contained 4,428 base pairs (genbank accession no. eu338534). the organization of the rrna genes is lsu rrna-its-ssu rrna-igs-5s, which corresponds with that of nosema species closely related to nosema bombycis. phylogenetic analysis based on rrna gene sequences ... | 2009 | 19041874 |
