    Гострі кишкові інфекції (ГКІ) стійко посідають одне з провідних місць серед усіх інфекційних захворювань, характеризуються широкою поширеністю, високою частотою розвитку тяжких форм і ускладнень. Прогрес у галузі лабораторних методів діагностики дозволив істотно розширити уявлення про етіологічні чинники хвороби: у країнах, що розвиваються, домінують діарейні інфекції бактерійної етіології, а в економічно розвинених країнах - вірусної.

    An integrated approach for synonymization of Rotylenchus rhomboides with R. goodeyi (Nematoda: Hoplolaimidae) reveals high intraspecific mitogenomic variation

    Rotylenchus is a widely-distributed economically important plant-parasitic nematode group whose species-level identification relies largely on limited morphological characters including character-based tabular keys and molecular data of ribosomal and mitochondrial genes. In this study, a combined morphological and molecular analysis of three populations of R. goodeyi from Belgium, Poland and the Netherlands revealed important character variations of this species leading to synonymisation of R. rhomboides with R. goodeyi, and a high nucleotide variation within cox1 gene sequences in these populations. Additional Illumina sequencing of DNA from individuals of the Dutch population revealed two variants of mitogenomes each of approximately 23 Kb in size, differing by about 9% and containing eleven protein coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and up to 29 transfer RNA genes. In addition to the first representative whole genome shotgun sequence datasets of the genus Rotylenchus, this study also provides the full length mitogenome and the ribosomal DNA sequences of R. goodeyi

    Rather than by direct acquisition via lateral gene transfer, GHF5 cellulases were passed on from early Pratylenchidae to root-knot and cyst nematodes

    <p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Plant parasitic nematodes are unusual Metazoans as they are equipped with genes that allow for symbiont-independent degradation of plant cell walls. Among the cell wall-degrading enzymes, glycoside hydrolase family 5 (GHF5) cellulases are relatively well characterized, especially for high impact parasites such as root-knot and cyst nematodes<it>.</it> Interestingly, ancestors of extant nematodes most likely acquired these GHF5 cellulases from a prokaryote donor by one or multiple lateral gene transfer events. To obtain insight into the origin of GHF5 cellulases among evolutionary advanced members of the order Tylenchida, cellulase biodiversity data from less distal family members were collected and analyzed.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Single nematodes were used to obtain (partial) genomic sequences of cellulases from representatives of the genera <it>Meloidogyne, Pratylenchus, Hirschmanniella</it> and <it>Globodera.</it> Combined Bayesian analysis of ≈ 100 cellulase sequences revealed three types of catalytic domains (A, B, and C). Represented by 84 sequences, type B is numerically dominant, and the overall topology of the catalytic domain type shows remarkable resemblance with trees based on neutral (= pathogenicity-unrelated) small subunit ribosomal DNA sequences. Bayesian analysis further suggested a sister relationship between the lesion nematode <it>Pratylenchus thornei</it> and all type B cellulases from root-knot nematodes. Yet, the relationship between the three catalytic domain types remained unclear. Superposition of intron data onto the cellulase tree suggests that types B and C are related, and together distinct from type A that is characterized by two unique introns.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>All Tylenchida members investigated here harbored one or multiple GHF5 cellulases. Three types of catalytic domains are distinguished, and the presence of at least two types is relatively common among plant parasitic Tylenchida. Analysis of coding sequences of cellulases suggests that root-knot and cyst nematodes did not acquire this gene directly by lateral genes transfer. More likely, these genes were passed on by ancestors of a family nowadays known as the Pratylenchidae.</p
