TL;DR: Next-generation sequencing of I. holocyclus salivary glands yielded a full-length genome sequence which phylogenetically groups with viruses classified in the Iflaviridae family and shares 45% amino acid similarity with its closest relative Bole hyalomma asiaticum virus 1.

TL;DR: The subfamily Diploproctodaeinae is reviewed and a key to the five recognized genera is given and Caecobiporum is considered a synonym.

TL;DR: Health authorities are encouraged to eliminate policies and practices that rely upon school exclusion as a means to reduce incidence and prevalence, e.g., the ‘no‐nit’ policy which lacks scientific justification, and are counterproductive to the health and welfare of children.

TL;DR: A comprehensive survey of 39 sympatric species from the Pomacentridae from the southern Great Barrier Reef revealed 18 species of digenean trematodes and host specificity was low, indicating host switching during the evolution of associations among these hosts and their parasites.

TL;DR: This paper reported the discovery of eight chimeric mt minichromosomes in Pediculus humanus and classified them into two groups: Group I and Group II, and showed that the conserved sequence blocks in the non-coding regions of Group II chimeric minichromaosomes resemble the "recombination repeats" in the mt genomes of higher plants.
