    © 2015 Hemme, Tu, Shi, Qin, Gao, Deng, Van Nostrand, Wu, He, Chain, Tringe, Fields, Rubin, Tiedje, Hazen, Arkin and Zhou.To understand patterns of geochemical cycling in pristine versus contaminated groundwater ecosystems, pristine shallow groundwater and contaminated groundwater samples from the Oak Ridge Integrated Field Research Center were sequenced and compared to each other to determine phylogenetic and metabolic difference between the communities. Proteobacteria are the most abundant line…Read more

    Background: Malaria around the China-Myanmar border is a serious health problem in the countries of South-East Asia. An. minimus is a principle malaria vector with a wide geographic distribution in this area. Malaria is endemic along the boundary between Yunnan province in China and the Kachin State of Myanmar where the local Anopheles community and the malaria transmission vectors have never been clarified. Methods. Adult Anopheles specimens were collected using CDC light traps in four villages…Read more
