A set of proposals to rationalize and extend the taxonomy of the family Parvoviridae is currently
under review by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV). Viruses in …

Drosophila melanogaster is a leading model in population genetics and genomics, and a
growing number of whole-genome data sets from natural populations of this species have …

The German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.) (Blattodea: Blattellidae), is a major
residential pest with the potential to vector various pathogens and produce and disseminate …

Oxysterols and neurosteroids are important signaling molecules produced by monooxygenases
of the cytochrome P450 family that realize their effect through nuclear receptors. CYP …

Understanding the population structure of species that disperse primarily by human transport
is essential to predicting and controlling human-mediated spread of invasive species. The …

The utility of various regions of the ribosomal repeat unit for phylogenetic analysis was
examined in 16 species representing four families, nine genera, and two orders of the subclass …

Blattella germanica densovirus (BgDNV) is an autonomous parvovirus that infects the
German cockroach. BgDNV possesses three mRNAs for NS proteins, two of which are splice …

Although a number of species live syanthropically with humans, few rely entirely on humans
for their survival and distribution. Unlike other cosmopolitan human commensals, the …

Densoviruses are a group of arthropod-infecting viruses with a small single-stranded linear
DNA genome. These viruses constitute the subfamily Densovirinae of the family Parvoviridae…

In recent decades, experimental data has accumulated indicating that short interspersed
nuclear elements (SINEs) can play a significant functional role in the regulation of gene …
