Genetic regulation of arrested development in nematodes: are age-1 and daf-gene orthologs present in Dictyocaulus viviparus?

abstract：:Thus far, Entamoeba species have been classified based on morphology such as the number of nuclei in mature cysts and their hosts. Using recently developed molecular tools, ruminant Entamoeba spp. are currently classified into four species/genotypes: E. bovis and Entamoeba ribosomal lineages (RL) 1, 2, and 4. However,...
