Molecular phylogeny of Trissolcus wasps (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae) associated with Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae)

As the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) has spread across the Northern Hemisphere, research on its egg parasitoids has increased accordingly.These studies have included species-level taxonomy, experimental assessments of tillman 750m host ranges in quarantine, and surveys to assess parasitism in the field.We here present a molecular p

Identification of a Chromosomal Integrated DNA Fragment Containing the rmpA2 and iucABCDiutA Virulence Genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae

ABSTRACT Klebsiella pneumoniae is increasingly being regarded as a reservoir of diverse antibiotic resistance genes and a pathogen that causes severe infections in both the hospital and the community.In this study, we performed molecular characterization of a carbapenem-resistant and read more highly virulent K.pneumoniae strain recovered from a ho

Budget impact analysis of routinely using whole-genomic sequencing of six multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens in Queensland, Australia

Objective To predict the cost and health effects of routine use of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of bacterial pathogens compared with those of standard of care.Design Budget impact analysis was performed over the following 5 years.Data were primarily from sequencing results on clusters of multidrug-resistant organisms lovesense 3 across 27 hospital
