Novel Chronic Anaplasmosis in Splenectomized Patient, Amazon Rainforest [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
We report a case of unusual human anaplasmosis in the Amazon rainforest of French Guiana. Molecular typing demonstrated that the pathogen is a novel Anaplasma species, distinct to all known species, and more genetically related to recently described ...

Amazon rainforest adjusts to long-term experimental drought. [PDF]

Nat Ecol Evol
Abstract Drought-induced mortality is expected to cause substantial biomass loss in the Amazon basin. However, rainforest responses to prolonged drought are largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that an Amazonian rainforest plot subjected to more than two decades of large-scale experimental drought reached eco-hydrological stability.

Isoprene photochemistry over the Amazon rainforest [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016
Significance For isolated regions of the planet, organic peroxy radicals produced as intermediates of atmospheric photochemistry have been expected to follow HO 2 rather than NO pathways. Observational evidence, however, has been lacking.

Self-amplified Amazon forest loss due to vegetation-atmosphere feedbacks

Nature Communications, 2017
Relatively little is understood about seasonal effect of climate change on the Amazon rainforest. Here, the authors show that Amazon forest loss in response to dry-season intensification during the last glacial period was likely self-amplified by ...
