Objective: Identification of Chlorella species from the environment through 18s ribosomal RNA sequencing. This study was aimed to design primer targeting Chlorella and other closely related algal species targeting 18s ribosomal RNA, ITS1 region. Methods: Sanger sequencing was carried out for the identification of algae up to the genus and species level using an in-house designed primer and optimized PCR conditions. Results: Out of 2 algae samples identified phenotypically, one isolate identified as Chlorella vulgaris and other one identified as Chlorella sorokiniana based on the results of Basic Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). Conclusion: To conclude, this study provided primers with PCR conditions to characterize algal samples through molecular identification with 100% accuracy than the phenotypic method.

We analyzed the blood from 400 one-humped camels, Camelus dromedarius (C. dromedarius), in Riyadh and Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia to determine if they were infected with the parasite Trypanosoma spp. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) gene was used to detect the prevalence of Trypanosoma spp. in the camels. Trypanosoma evansi (T. evansi) was detected in 79 of 200 camels in Riyadh, an infection rate of 39.5%, and in 92 of 200 camels in Al-Qassim, an infection rate of 46%. Sequence and phylogenetic analyses revealed that the isolated T. evansi was closely related to the T. evansi that was detected in C. dromedarius in Egypt and the T. evansi strain B15.1 18S ribosomal RNA gene identified from buffalo in Thailand. A BLAST search revealed that the sequences are also similar to those of T. evansi from beef cattle in Thailand and to T. brucei B8/18 18S ribosomal RNA from pigs in Nigeria.
