This type of work needs collaborative efforts from our colleagues in providing P.papatasi samples. We got samples from different countries, but we actually need more from the following countries: Italy, Spain, France, Greece, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Sudan , Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and Nepal. </div><div><br></div><div>we appreciate any help in providing samples and get involved in this global effort. </div><div><br></div><div>for any inquires please forward you question to my address below</div><div><br></div><div>all my best Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Omar</div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><br><br>-------------------------------------</div><div>Omar Hamarsheh, MSc., PhD</div><div>ِAssociate Professor of Molecular Infection Biology</div><div>Department of Biological Sciences<br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:24px">University of Notre Dame</span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:24px">Notre Dame, IN 46556</span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:24px">USA</span></div></div></div>
