It is used in a number of fields including biology, geology, linguistics, semiotics, and law.Commonly it refers to how strictly or loosely an expression is used in describing any particular concept, but it also appears in expressions that indicate the convention or context of the usage.
L. donovani sensu stricto is in a species complex with the closely related L. infantum, which causes the same disease. The former is commonly found in East Africa and the Indian subcontinent, while the latter is found in Europe, North Africa, and Latin America.
B. burgdorferi sensu stricto exists in North America and Eurasia and until 2016 was the only known cause of Lyme disease in North America. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 2 ] B. burgdorferi are often mistakenly described as Gram negative because of their two external membranes, but they lack lipopolysaccharide and possess many surface lipoproteins, unlike true ...
The Clusiaceae or Guttiferae Juss. (1789) (nom. alt. et cons. = alternative and valid name) are a family of plants including 13 genera and ca 750 species. [3] Several former members of Clusiacae are now placed in Calophyllaceae and Hypericaceae.
The member genera have been placed into five distinct subfamilies of Cupressaceae, Athrotaxidoideae, Cunninghamioideae, Sequoioideae, Taiwanioideae, and Taxodioideae, which form a grade basal to Cupressaceae sensu stricto, containing Callitroideae and Cupressoideae.
Mosses are small, non-vascular flowerless plants in the taxonomic division Bryophyta (/ b r aɪ ˈ ɒ f ə t ə /, [3] / ˌ b r aɪ. ə ˈ f aɪ t ə /) sensu stricto.Bryophyta (sensu lato, Schimp. 1879 [4]) may also refer to the parent group bryophytes, which comprise liverworts, mosses, and hornworts. [5]

Recent phylogenetic studies based on cpDNA restriction site analysis and gene sequencing strongly suggest that the Cannabaceae sensu stricto arose from within the former family Celtidaceae, and that the two families should be merged to form a single monophyletic family, the Cannabaceae sensu lato.
