These include S. cerevisiae Sgs1 and human WRN and BLM, members of the RecQ family, which unwind G4 DNA with 3'-5' polarity, recognizing the G4 structure through their highly conserved RQC domain [21] [25]; and XPD-family helicases such as S. cerevisiae Srs2, nematode DOG-1 and mammalian FANCJ and RTEL1, which unwind DNA with 5'-3' polarity [26] [29].
Additional members of the FANCJ family of DNA helicases include mouse RTEL and nematode DOG-1, which have been implicated in telomere maintenance [ 23] and stability of sequences flanking G-tracts [ 24], respectively; however, neither of these proteins has been shown to have helicase activity on secondary structures in G/C tracts.
Strongyloides stercoralis is a small thread-like nematode infecting dog, cat and primates including man.
145 The co-expressed gene list in COXPRESdb provides a comparable view of orthologous genes among several species (human, mouse, rat, chicken, fly, zebra fish, nematode, monkey, dog, and yeast) and the numbers of common edges for all pairs of species.
Dirofilaria repens, a filarial nematode of dogs and other carnivores, can accidentally infect humans.
Our patient may have been infected by U. stenocephala, a nematode of dogs that is common in temperate zones but rarely causes hookworm-related cutaneous larva migrans.
Angiostrongylus vasorum commonly known as the "French heartworm" is a metastrongyloid nematode of dogs and other canids, including various species of fox, wolf, coyote and jackal (definitive hosts) [ 1].
Detection of O. lupi nematodes in dogs and cats from Algarve confirms that this parasite is endemic to southern Portugal.
Toxocara canis, Toxocara cati and Toxocara malaysiensis are the common ascaridoid nematodes of dogs and cats, causing significant health problems.
Different considerations emerged from this study related to: (i) epidemiology and (ii) diagnosis and control of cardiopulmonary nematodes infecting dogs.
Recent etiologic delineation of O. lupi nematodes in dogs and cats in southwestern states (4, 11, 12 ) suggested involvement of this parasite in previous cases.
