Intrafamilial Transmission of HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 in Indigenous Peoples of the Brazilian Amazon: Molecular Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis.

Human T-limphotropic virus 1 infection has a global distribution, with a high prevalence in some regions of Brazil and the world, while HTLV-2 infection is endemic mainly among indigenous people and drug users. To analyze intrafamilial transmission of HTLV-1/2 in five Kayapó indigenous peoples (Gorotire, Kararaô, Kokraimoro, Kubenkokre, and Xikrin do Bacajá), we investigated 1452 individuals who underwent serological and molecular tests. Among the 276 indigenous people with positive results, we identified intrafamily transmission in 42.

Sphaerellopsis species are putative hyperparasites of rust fungi and may be promising biological control agents (BCA) of rust diseases. However, few detailed studies limit potential BCA development in Sphaerellopsis. Here, we explored the biogeography, host-specificity, and species diversity of Sphaerellopsis and examined the early infection stage of one species, S.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the evolution of sexual systems in angiosperms within the dry-hot valley region of southwestern China, revealing significant associations with geographic elements and life-history traits.
- Of the 3166 angiosperm species identified, most were hermaphroditic, with distinct patterns observed: hermaphroditism linked to showy flowers and dry fruits, while dioecy was associated with less conspicuous flowers and fleshy fruits.
- Findings indicate that the sexual systems of plants in this vulnerable ecosystem are influenced by environmental factors, with flowering and fruiting patterns varying based on whether they produce dry or fleshy fruits.
Ovarian Follicle Development in Ascidians.

Ovarian follicle development is an essential process for continuation of sexually reproductive animals, and is controlled by a wide variety of regulatory factors such as neuropeptides and peptide hormones in the endocrine, neuroendocrine, and nervous systems. Moreover, while some molecular mechanisms underlying follicle development are conserved, others vary among species. Consequently, follicle development processes are closely related to the evolution and diversity of species.

Management of Dermanyssus gallinae, a cosmopolitan hematophagous mite responsible for damage in layer poultry farming, is hampered by a lack of knowledge of its spatio-temporal population dynamics. Previous studies have shown that the circulation of this pest between farms is of strictly anthropogenic origin, that a mitochondrial haplogroup has been expanding on European farms since the beginning of the 21 century and that its local population growth may be particularly rapid. To refine our understanding of how D.
