Article Abstract
This study investigated the pathological and parasitological causes of death in two two-toed sloths (Choloepus didactylus) housed at a zoo in Hokkaido, Japan. Genomic DNA was extracted from the clotted blood of these animals and subsequently examined by nested PCR assays targeting the 18S rRNA and β-tubulin genes. The nucleotide sequences of these genes were determined and a phylogenetic analysis of the 18S rRNA gene was performed. One sample was detected positive in nested PCR. Sequencing analysis revealed that the detected parasite was closely related to the order Piroplasmida and was subsequently designated as Piroplasmida sp. Choloepus didactylus-1 (Piroplasmida sp. CD-1).

The pathogenic soilborne and postharvest fungus , as newly reported pathogen in Serbia, caused significant disease symptoms on carrot roots and seedlings in inoculation assays. In October 2023, machine-washed and cold-stored carrot roots showed symptoms of black rot of patches and abundant sporulation. The influence of the postharvest treatment of machine washing was confirmed by additional sampling at the production site.

The family Spinturnicidae belongs to the suborder Monogynapsida, superfamily Dermanyssoidea, and exclusively parasitizes the body surface of bats. In the present study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Spinturnix psi, a species of bat mite, and subsequently conducted a comprehensive analysis of its genomic information. The mitochondrial genome of S.

Lead (Pb) contamination, a kind of heavy metal pollution, severely impacts organism growth and reproduction. Although vitellogenin (Vg) has been studied in many species, its characteristics in the pest Aleuroglyphus ovatus (Troupeau) (Acari: Acaridae) remain unknown. In this study, the full-length Vg gene of A.

Nitrifying communities in activated sludge play a crucial role in biological nitrogen removal processes in municipal wastewater treatment plants. While extensive research has been conducted in temperate regions, limited information is available on nitrifiers in tropical regions. The present study investigated all currently known nitrifying communities in two full-scale municipal wastewater treatment plants in Malaysia operated under low-dissolved oxygen (DO) (0.
