(Frontiers Media, 2018-08-02)
Campylobacter jejuni is the causal agent of the food-borne infection with the highest incidence in Europe. Both poultry and wild birds are a major reservoir. To gain insight into the population structure, ...
Revisions to the classification, nomenclature, and diversity of Eukaryotes
(Wiley, 2019-01-19)
This revision of the classification of eukaryotes follows that of Adl et al., 2012 [J. Euk. Microbiol. 59(5)] and retains an emphasis on protists. Changes since have improved the resolution of many nodes ...
