Speculations on the Origin and Evolution of the Genus Leishmania (2000)

Hooman Momen, Elisa Cupolillo

Recently two hypotheses have been proposed for the evolution of Leishmania involving respectively a Neotropical or Paleartic origin for the species. Here an alternative proposal on the phylogeny of...

INTRASPECIFIC HETEROGENEITY IN THE MINI-EXON GENE LOCALIZATION OF LEISHMANIA (VIANNIA) PANAMENSIS AND LEISHMANIA (VIANNIA) GUYANENSIS FROM COLOMBIA (2000)

Raquel S. Pacheco, Octavio Fernandes, Graciela Salinas, Iris Segura, Hooman Momen, Wim Degrave, ...

Intraspecific heterogeneity was demonstrated in the mini-exon gene localization from Leishmania (Viannia) panamensis and L. (Viannia) guyanensis. Different karyotypes were detected in human isolates...

Genetic Diversity in Natural Populations of New World Leishmania (1998)

Elisa Cupolillo, Hooman Momen, Gabriel Grimaldi Jr

Our results have shown the wide diversity of parasites within New World Leishmania. Biochemical and molecular characterization of species within the genus has revealed that much of the population...

RESEARCH NOTE - Surveillance Using Molecular Tools: Examples from Brazil (1998)

Ana Carolina Paulo Vicente, Hooman Momen

Genotypic Diversity among Brevibacillus laterosporus Strains

Zahner, Viviane, Rabinovitch, Leon, Suffys, Phylip, Momen, Hooman

In comparison with other entomopathogenic Bacillus species, the genome of Brevibacillus laterosporus is poorly characterized. The aim of this study was to examine genetic variability in B....

Differentiation of Environmental and Clinical Isolates of Vibrio mimicus from Vibrio cholerae by Multilocus Enzyme Electrophoresis

Vieira, Verônica V., Teixeira, Luiz Fernando M., Vicente, Ana Carolina P., Momen, Hooman, Salles, Carlos André

In this study, we demonstrated that analyzed strains of Vibrio mimicus and Vibrio cholerae could be separated in two groups by using multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MEE) data from 14 loci. We also...
