Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Canine Leishmaniasis is a vector‐borne zoonotic disease caused by several species of protozoa of the genus Leishmania. In the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Leishmania braziliensis is the most prevalent species causing tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) and Leishmania infantum is the main causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL).

What are the vector species of the Oropouche virus?
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 2785-2793, April 2026.Here, we review the timeline of Oropouche virus (OROV) detection in various hematophagous Diptera, from 1955 to date, including mosquitoes and midges. All vector competence experiments also are described. The results suggest that Culicoides are the primary vectors.

Homo sapiens, industrialisation and the environmental mismatch hypothesis
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 580-601, April 2026.ABSTRACT For the vast majority of the evolutionary history of Homo sapiens, a range of natural environments defined the parameters within which selection shaped human biology. Although human‐induced alterations to the terrestrial biosphere have been evident for over 10,000 years, the pace and scale of change has accelerated dramatically since the onset

Revealing patterns of endemism in the transatlantic family Chelodesmidae (Polydesmida: Diplopoda)
Cladistics, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 159-171, April 2026.Abstract With fossil records dating back to the Silurian/Late Ordovician, millipedes stand out as one of the earliest terrestrial animal groups. Their limited vagility and high endemism make them valuable tools for formulating and testing biogeographic hypotheses, including those related to macro‐vicariance events.

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 221-234, April 2026.The height at which epiphytic bromeliads are found affects the invertebrate community composition within them. The size of epiphytic bromeliads is positively correlated with species richness of both aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. Whether bromeliads were found in primary or secondary forest did not have a significant effect on the community of ...

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 235-249, April 2026.Species co‐occurrences rely on their ability to explore similar or distinct available resources, and possible niche overlap can prevent their presence and establishment in a given site Damselflies of the Calopterygidae family demonstrated negative co‐occurrences in streams inside and outside PAs, highlighting that their ecological similarity is ...

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 4, 30 March 2026.This study applies stochastic rainfall models combining Markov Chains with gamma and mixed exponential distributions to a semi‐arid climate in Northeast Brazil. Model structures were evaluated using Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), with maximum likelihood (MLM) for parameter estimation and cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) for validation ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.Abstract Many atmospheric chemical processes, including the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA), are strongly modulated by the reactions of NO and NO2NOx ${\text{NO}}_{2}\ \left({\text{NO}}_{x}\right)$. Though NOx ${\text{NO}}_{x}$ is controlled by anthropogenic emissions near urban areas, in rural areas soil microbes can be a significant ...
