TAXONOMIC STRUCTURE OF THE BENTHIC MACROINVERTEBRATE FAUNA FROM A TROPICAL RAINFOREST RIVER IN SOUTHERN NIGERIA. Open
The taxonomic structure of aquatic ecosystems in Nigeria is under threat from the over-exploitation of its natural resources and the discharge of pollutants into it. The impact of anthropogenic activities within the watershed of Owan River…

Occurrence of virulence genes in multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolates from humans, animals, and the environment: One health perspective Open
Escherichia coli is one of the critical One Health pathogens due to its vast array of virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes. This study used multiplex PCR to determine the occurrence of virulence genes bfp , ompA , traT , eaeA , and…

Updated classification of the phylum Parabasalia Open
The phylum Parabasalia includes very diverse single‐cell organisms that nevertheless share a distinctive set of morphological traits. Most are harmless or beneficial gut symbionts of animals, but some have turned into parasites in other bo…

New Parabasalia symbionts <i>Snyderella</i> spp. and <i>Daimonympha</i> gen. nov. from South American <i>Rugitermes</i> termites and the parallel evolution of a cell with a rotating “head” Open
Most Parabasalia are symbionts in the hindgut of “lower” (non‐Termitidae) termites, where they widely vary in morphology and degree of morphological complexity. Large and complex cells in the class Cristamonadea evolved by replicating a fu…

Characterization of new cristamonad species from kalotermitid termites including a novel genus, Runanympha Open
Cristamonadea is a large class of parabasalian protists that reside in the hindguts of wood-feeding insects, where they play an essential role in the digestion of lignocellulose. This group of symbionts boasts an impressive array of comple…

Molecular characterization and phylogeny of four new species of the genus Trichonympha (Parabasalia, Trichonymphea) from lower termite hindguts Open
Members of the genus Trichonympha are among the most well-known, recognizable and widely distributed parabasalian symbionts of lower termites and the wood-eating cockroach species of the genus Cryptocercus. Nevertheless, the species divers…
