and in invasive wild boars () and hunting dogs from Brazil.

The wild boar, an impactful invasive species in Brazil, is subject to population control activities, which often include the use of hunting dogs. Hunters commonly consume wild boar meat, which is also used to feed their dogs, posing a risk of infection for humans and both and for dogs. The study aimed to investigate the prevalence of infection in wild boars (n = 127) and hunting dogs (n = 73) from São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, and Paraná states.

Chromosomal view of Lippia alba, a tropical polyploid complex under genome stabilization process.

Lippia alba is a phenotypically variable tropical shrub thought to comprise a young autopolyploid complex. Chromosome numbers in L. alba include 2n = 30, 38, 45, 60, and 90.

Low cytomolecular diversification in the genus Stylosanthes Sw. (Papilionoideae, Leguminosae).

Stylosanthes (Papilionoideae, Leguminosae) is a predominantly Neotropical genus with ~48 species that include worldwide important forage species. This study presents the chromosome number and morphology of eight species of the genus Stylosanthes (S. acuminata, S.

rDNA mapping, heterochromatin characterization and AT/GC content of Agapanthus africanus (L.) Hoffmanns (Agapanthaceae).

Agapanthus (Agapanthaceae) has 10 species described. However, most taxonomists differ respect to this number because the great phenotypic plasticity of the species. The cytogenetic has been an important tool to aid the plant taxon identification, and to date, all taxa of Agapanthus L'Héritier studied cytologically, presented 2n = 30.
