Characterization of microbial assemblages on micro-plastics in a river system
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)Microplastics as pollutants originate from land-based sources and are persistent and ubiquitous in the aquatic environment. The risks posed by microplastics as vectors and habitats for potentially harmful microbial groups ... -
Complete genome analyses of the first porcine rotavirus group H identified from a South African pig does not provide evidence for recent interspecies transmission events
(Elsevier, 2016)Rotaviruses (RVs) are classified into eight species/groups (RVA–RVH) according to the migration patterns of their 11 genome segments, as well as by serological and molecular properties of Viral Protein 6 (VP6). In 1997 a ... -
Exploration and comparison of bacterial communities present in bovine milk, faeces and blood using 16S rRNA metagenomic sequencing
(North-West University (South Africa), 2022)Livestock rearing plays a vital role in sustenance of the livelihoods of rural communities. In contrast, livestock serves as a potent reservoir of different pathogenic organisms that could have devastating health and ... -
Next generation sequencing of gonadal transcriptome suggests standard maternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA in Eurhomalea rufa (Veneridae)
(Elsevier, 2017)Contrary to some of its relatives from Veneridae family, such as Venerupis philippinarium, the clam Eurhomalea rufa lacks doubly uniparental inheritance system of mitochondria. Here we present the argument for strict ... -
Next-generation sequencing of Dreissena polymorpha transcriptome sheds light on its mitochondrial DNA
(Springer, 2018)Zebra mussels Dreissena polymorpha (Veneroida, Dreissenidae) are known for their invasive behavior. Despite numerous studies dealing with this species, no results of large sequencing projects have been published to date, ...
