Disease relevance of Spp

• Chlamydia spp. are major causes of important human diseases, but dissecting the host-pathogen interactions has been hampered by the lack of bacterial genetics and the difficulty in carrying out forward genetic screens in mammalian hosts [1].
• Evolutionary dynamics of wAu-like Wolbachia variants in neotropical Drosophila spp [2].
• The endosymbiotic bacteria Spiroplasma spp. are vertically transmitted through female hosts and are known to cause selective death of male offspring in insects [3].
• Wolbachia spp. are intracellular alpha proteobacteria closely related to Rickettsia [4].
• We also studied resistance/sensitivity to 12 antibiotics for six bacterial isolates such as Enterobacter cloacae, E. sakazakii, K. pneumoniae spp., Providencia rettgeri, P. aeruginosa, and Bacillus cereus [5].

High impact information on Spp

• In the unicellular human parasites Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma cruzi, and Leishmania spp., the spliced-leader (SL) RNA is a key molecule in gene expression donating its 5'-terminal region in SL addition trans splicing of nuclear pre-mRNA [6].
• Unlike the Drosophila HP1 gene, HHP1 is not essential in Tetrahymena spp., and during vegetative growth no clear phenotype is observed in cells lacking Hhp1p (DeltaHHP1) [7].
• Several genes encoding transcription factors with a helix-loop-helix (HLH) motif are involved in the early process of neural development in Drosophila spp [8].
• Phosphorylation of histone H1 is developmentally regulated in Drosophila spp [9].
• Although regions of DNA reacting with anti-Z-DNA antibodies have been identified in the polytene chromosomes of Drosophila spp. and the metaphase chromosomes from a number of different mammalian species, the biological role of this DNA is unknown [10].

Biological context of Spp

• In S. exigua larvae, permissive Spodoptera spp. cultured cells, and nonpermissive D. melanogaster cultured cells early viral gene expression was indicated by the appearance of Lac-Z as early as 3 hr p.i. Late viral gene expression was indicated by the appearance of GUS and occurred only in the permissive cultured cells and larvae [11].
• Antimutagenic effect of one variety of green pepper (Capsicum spp.) and its possible interference with the nitrosation process [12].
• This work describes the characterization of a high-affinity binding site for PA1b in a microsomal fraction of Sitophilus spp. extracts [13].
• The microsatellite variability data from C. rosa and C. fasciventris, together with those of C. capitata, support the hypothesis of an east African origin of the Ceratitis spp [14].
• We sequenced the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear ribosomal cistron for 13 of the syngens plus two other Paramecium species and several Tetrahymena spp [15].

Anatomical context of Spp

• However, analysis of published data for thorax length of Drosophila spp [16].
• We evaluated human urine and chicken feces, two naturally occurring, inexpensive, and readily available substances, as baits for the capture of Anostrepha spp [17].

Associations of Spp with chemical compounds

• The trisubstituted pyrrole 4-[2-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(1-methylpiperidine-4-yl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]pyridine (Compound 1) inhibits the growth of Eimeria spp. both in vitro and in vivo [18].
• Xanthurenic acid (XA) has been implicated as an inducer in vivo of exflagellation in Plasmodium spp [19].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Spp

• Because rambutan has such low rates of infestation by oriental fruit fly and Cryptophlebia spp., the two primary internal-feeding regulatory pests of rambutan in Hawaii, it may be amenable to the alternative treatment efficacy approach to postharvest quarantine treatment [20].
