Cloning and expression of human recombinant isoform a of glycine–N–acyltransferase
(North-West University, 2012)Awareness of detoxification, nowadays known as biotransformation, has become an integral part of our daily lives. It is a modern buzz word that is used to promote anything from health food to enhancement of performance in ... -
DNA Profiling and the Law in South Africa
(2011)DNA evidence is currently at the forefront of the arsenal of evidence employed in criminal trials. To ensure its optimum use in criminal proceedings, it is imperative that the legal fraternity is properly conversant with ... -
Molecular and morphological characterisation of four diplostomid metacercariae infecting Tilapia sparrmanii (Perciformes: Cichlidae) in the North West Province, South Africa
(Springer, 2019)Despite their pathogenic effects on fish, the diversity of trematodes from the family Diplostomidae remains vastly unexplored in Africa and specifically South Africa. To date, only six species of diplostomids have been ... -
Rapid cell lysis and DNA capture in a lysis microreactor
(Elsevier, 2012)In clinical diagnostics, the detection and identification of bacterial organisms based on the analysis of their nucleic acids require cell lysis and DNA extraction from clinical samples. A lysis microreactor (LMR) has been ... -
Resolution of the identity of three species of Diplostomum (Digenea: Diplostomidae) parasitising freshwater fishes in South Africa, combining molecular and morphological evidence
(Elsevier, 2020)Reliable data on the diversity of the genus Diplostomum (Digenea: Diplostomidae) parasitising freshwater fishes in South Africa, as well as in Africa, is almost non-existent. Most of the morphology-based identifications ... -
Standardization of a PCR-HRM assay for DNA sexing of birds
(North-West University, 2018)Sex determination of birds is of great significance in many ecological and demographic studies, where sex ratio between sexes is important. Obtaining this information is difficult in many avian species since more than 50% ... -
Study of Diplostomum (Digenea: diplostomoidea) in South Africa: diversity and effect of metacercariae on fish behaviour
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)A large and widely distributed group of parasites within the genus Diplostomum (Digenea: Diplostomoidea) utilises a complex life cycle with life stages that parasitise freshwater snails, fish (intermediate hosts) and ... -
Three new species of acanthocephalans (Palaeacanthocephala) from marine fishes collected off the East Coast of South Africa
(Institute of Parasitology, Biology Centre CAS, 2019)Three new species of acanthocephalans are described from marine fishes collected in Sodwana Bay, South Africa: Rhadinorhynchus gerberi n. sp. from Trachinotus botla (Shaw), Pararhadinorhynchus sodwanensis n. sp. from ...
