Genetic investigation of GPI anchored Bd37 orthologs in Babesia divergens group and use of recombinant protein for ecological survey in deer.

This study identifies three Bd37 orthologs in the Asia lineage of Babesia divergens/B. capreoli group and demonstrates that recombinant JP-A-based ELISA detects a higher seroprevalence in deer compared to 18S rRNA PCR.

Color morphs of the coral, Acropora tenuis, show different responses to environmental stress and different expression profiles of fluorescent-protein genes

The paper examines color morphs of Acropora tenuis and finds that their differential expression of fluorescent-protein genes correlates with varying thermal stress resistance.
