Most of the new individuals subject to sanctions are technical figures but one, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, is a prominent figure in the Revolutionary Guard military corps and is close to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Like the hemagglutinin genes, the other 7 genes showed the same evolutionary pattern (Technical Appendix Figure 1).
Alignments of the VP2 region showed GFADV shared ≈78% nt and 80% aa similarities with AMDV strains, whereas strains of AMDV had >92% nt and 91% aa similarities (Technical Appendix Figure 4, Technical Appendix Figure 5).
The phylogenetic trees for groEL (Technical Appendix Figure) and msp4 (Technical Appendix Figure, panel B) loci have similar topologies with strong support for 2 main clades (Technical Appendix Figure, panels A and B), each with different host and vector association.
The SNPs were used to infer the phylogenetic relationships between strains by using neighbor-joining, maximum-likelihood (ML; Technical Appendix Figure 2), and Bayesian (Technical Appendix Figure 2) methods.
Although bovine meat isolates were not SBI-typed, a close correlation between PFGE profile and SBI type was observed for the human samples (Technical Appendix Figure 1) and the bovine fecal samples (Technical Appendix Figure 2).
†Sequences used to build the phylogenetic trees in Technical Appendix Figure 2.
We employed a dye-swap experimental design that included two biological and two technical replications (Figure 1; [42], [42]).
These pathogens included Aeromonas spp (4 ), potentially pathogenic clinical-type Vibrio vulnificus isolates (Technical Appendix Figure 2) (5 ), non serotype O1 or O139 cholera toxin negative V. cholerae isolates (Technical Appendix Figure 2) (6 ), Mycobacteria (7 ), and S. agalactiae (3, 8 ).
How do technical standards figure into fraud?
