This study determines the occurrence and molecular identification of nematodes from blue mackerel Scomber australasicus Cuvier (Perciformes: Scombridae), an edible fish from Australian waters. A total of 150 fish were sourced from the New South Wales and Victorian coasts. Nematodes were initially classified morphologically as 10 morphotypes belonging to the families Anisakidae (Anisakis morphotypes I and II, Contracaecum morphotype II, Terranova morphotypes I and II), Raphidascarididae (Hysterothylacium morphotypes IV, VI, VIII, and XIV), and Capillariidae (Capillaria sp.), followed by molecular identification through sequencing of their internal transcribed spacer (ITS-1, 5.8S, ITS-2) region. Anisakis morphotype I was confirmed as A. pegreffii Campana-Rouget & Biocca, 1955 and A. berlandi Mattiucci, Cipriani, Webb, Paoletti, Marcer, Bellisario, Gibson & Nascetti, 2014. Anisakis morphotype II and Contracaecum morphotype II were confirmed as A. physeteris Baylis, 1923 and C. ogmorhini Johnston & Mawson, 1941, respectively. Terranova morphotypes I and II were identified as Pulchrascaris australis Shamsi, Barton & Zhu, 2020 and Euterranova pectinolabiata n. comb. (Shamsi, Barton & Zhu, 2019) Moravec & Justine, 2020, respectively. The specific identification of Hysterothylacium morphotypes IV, VI, and VIII was not possible as no comparable adult Hysterothylacium species sequences were available in GenBank, with the exception of morphotype XIV which was confirmed as H. persicum Shamsi, Ghadam, Suthar, Mousavi, Soltani & Mirzargar, 2016. Seven nematode morphotypes were identified for the first time in Australian blue mackerel. The outcomes of the study provide a basis for future research into the community structure, life cycles, and distribution of nematode species in Australian mackerel and to analyse and clarify their importance for public health.

Indian Himalayan Region (IHR) supports a plethora of biodiversity with a unique assemblage of many charismatic and endemic species. We assessed the genetic diversity, demographic history, and habitat suitability of blue sheep (Pseudois nayaur) in the IHR through the analysis of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region (CR) and Cytochrome b gene, and 14 ecological predictor variables. We observed high genetic divergence and designated them into two genetic lineage groups, i.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a highly malignant tumor characterized by a significant propensity for recurrence and metastasis. DNA methylation has emerged as a critical epigenetic mechanism with substantial utility in cancer diagnosis. In this study, multi-omics data were utilized to investigate the target genes regulated by the transcription factor MYC-associated zinc finger protein (MAZ) in ccRCC, leading to the identification of thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP) as a gene with notably elevated expression in ccRCC.

Human diseases with similar phenotypes can be interconnected through shared biological pathways, genes, or molecular mechanisms. Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) cause photoreceptor dysfunction due to mutations in approximately 300 genes, affecting visual transduction, photoreceptor morphogenesis, and transcription factors, suggesting common pathobiological mechanisms. This study examined the functional relationship between known IRDs genes by integrating binding sites and gene expression data from the key photoreceptor transcription factors (TFs), Crx and Nrl.

: Splenectomy leads to a high rate of remission in chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), but its unpredictable long-term positive outcomes and that it is a irreversible surgical approach discourage clinicians and patients. The identification of predictors of response may redefine the timing of splenectomy. In this retrospective, multicentric study we aimed to investigate clinical-histological predictors of splenectomy response in ITP patients and provide an easy-to-use score to predict splenectomy response in ITP.
