Evidence for genetic differentiation at the microgeographic scale in Phlebotomus papatasi populations from Sudan.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The trypanosome diversity of the Brush-tailed Bettong (Bettongia penicillata), known locally as the woylie, has been further investigated. At a species level, woylies are critically endangered and have declined by 90% since 1999. The predation of individuals made more vulnerable by disease is thought to be t...
