Article Abstract
The initial and vital stage in the diagnosis of malaria involves extracting DNA. The efficiency of malaria testing is restricted by the multiple steps involved in commercial DNA extraction kits. We attempted to improve an existing loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for the detection of by using a simple DNA extraction approach, making it a feasible option for mass screening. We utilized a simple nucleic acid extraction method directly from whole blood for the detection of , taking only 5 min to complete. The extracted DNA was evaluated by two fluorescent-based LAMP and one colorimetric-based LAMP assay. The detection limit for both SYTO-LAMP and SYBR green-LAMP was 0.00001% and 0.0001% parasitemia, respectively. Meanwhile, neutral red-LAMP had a detection limit of 0.01% parasitemia. Combining this simple and inexpensive DNA extraction method, SYTO-LAMP could serve as an alternative molecular diagnosis for the detection of and other human spp.

Understanding the diversity of microscopic hyphomycetes is an ongoing effort, and many species remain undescribed. While studying lichen organismal composition in western Canada, metagenomic data revealed the presence of an unknown species of (, Ascomycota), a genus of pollen-parasitic fungus with no previous records in the region. We developed genus-specific primers to amplify DNA in lichen and adjacent substrate extractions, successfully detecting multiple lineages of across a wide geographic range within North America.

Introduction: is a well-recognized etiologic agent of upper respiratory tract disease in tortoises. Although frequently reported in both captive and wild populations across Europe, its occurrence in Portugal had not been previously documented. This study aimed to investigate the presence of in apparently healthy captive tortoises in mainland Portugal and to evaluate potential host- and management-related factors associated with infection.

Background And Aim: is a significant zoonotic pathogen linked to reproductive losses in livestock and serious health risks in humans. In Iraq, listeriosis remains underreported in sheep, with limited data on its molecular and epidemiological characteristics. This study aimed to (1) estimate the seroprevalence of in recently aborted ewes, (2) evaluate the association between seropositivity and clinical indicators, and (3) perform molecular detection and phylogenetic analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-confirmed isolates.

Background And Aim: The () gene plays a pivotal role in regulating growth, metabolism, and fat deposition in cattle. Genetic polymorphisms in this gene can influence phenotypic traits and may serve as molecular markers for selection in breeding programs. However, comprehensive characterization of gene variants in local Indonesian breeds, such as Madura cattle, remains limited.

Background/aims: Drug addiction is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterised by compulsive drug-seeking behaviour notwithstanding adverse consequences. This work seeks to address a deficiency in the literature by comparing drug-addicted and non-addicted individuals within an Iraqi population through the analysis of a 1000-base pair variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs) polymorphism of the dopamine receptor gene DRD4. The association of this novel polymorphism with drug addiction has not yet been examined.
