The blood group is inherited and has contributions from both parents. The International Society of Blood Transfusion or ISBT recognizes a total of 35 human blood group systems. ABO and RhD antigen group systems are the most important ones. Someone can have A, B, AB or O group with + or – representing RhD antigen status. In 1900 Karl Landsteiner discovered the ABO blood group system, but Jan Jansky is one credited as the first who classified blood into the four groups in 1907. In the same year,…

The founder effect offers a potential explanation for the significantly higher observed heterozygosity of the Collins Creek over the pond Redbelly Dace populations. The migration of the fish to the isolated pond could have been accomplished through an anomalous transport of eggs on waterfowl or other animals travelling between the two water bodies; the small group of migrants would in turn be genetically unrepresentative of the original creek population. The disequilibrium of the Hardy-Weinberg…

Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), also known as sleeping sickness, is caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense. These parasites cause two disease forms that occur in different geographical regions of Africa: West and Central Africa, versus East and South Africa, respectively. (2) However, most cases of HAT are due to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. (1) The tsetse fly acts as the vector for the transmission of this protozoan parasite between mammalian hosts. Both…
