Genotypic Characterization of Salmonella typhi by Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Fingerprinting Provides Increased Discrimination as Compared to Pulsed-Field Gel Electropho... by Nair, S., Schreiber, E., Thong, Kwai Lin, Pang, T., Altwegg, M.

“…Six S. typhi isolates from diverse geographic areas (Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Chile, Papua New Guinea and Switzerland) gave unique, heterogeneous profiles when typed by AFLP, a result which was consistent with ribotyping and PFGE analysis. …”

Differentiation and adaptive radiation of amphibious gobies (Gobiidae: Oxudercinae) in semi-terrestrial habitats by Polgar, G., Sacchetti, A., Galli, P.

“…During several surveys made in the region of the lower Fly River and delta, Papua New Guinea, nine species of oxudercine gobies (Gobiidae: Oxudercinae) were recorded: Boleophthalmus caeruleomaculatus, Oxuderces wirzi, Periophthalmodon freycineti, Periophthalmus darwini, Periophthalmus novaeguineaensis, Periophthalmus takita, Periophthalmus weberi, Scartelaos histophorus and Zappa confluentus. …”

Inadvertent expression of dengue 2 virus NS3-EGFP fusion protein in Escherichia coli using the pEGFP-N1 mammalian expression vector by Shafee, Norazizah, AbuBakar, Sazaly

“…Dengue 2 New Guinea C (NGC) virus NS3 protein, a potentially important virulence factor was cloned to the N-terminus of the Aequoreo t.rictorio enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) using the pEGFP-N1 manimaiian expression vector. …”

Sequence analysis of E/NS1 gene junction of dengue virus type 2 isolated in Brunei by Osman, O., Fong, M.Y., Devi, S.

“…Sequence divergence of the Brunei isolates varied from 5 to 6.6 compared with dengue-2 prototype New Guinea C strain. Comparison of the Brunei DEN-2 isolates with sixty-five other strains placed them in a cluster containing Indonesian strains isolated in 1973, 1978 and 2004 and Malaysian strains isolated in 1996, 1998 and 1999 in genotype group IV.…”

Rhizobium sp. strain NGR234 and R. fredii USDA257 share exceptionally broad, nested host ranges by Pueppke, S.G., Broughton, W.J.

“…As both P. andersonii and NGR234 originate from Indonesia/Malaysia/Papua New Guinea, and NGR234's preferred hosts (Desmodiinae/Phaseoleae) are largely Asian, we suggest that broad host range originated in Southeast Asia and spread outward.…”
