A Multi‐Factor Habitat Suitability Model for Asian Elephants in the Greater Mekong Subregion: Effects of Vegetation and Climate

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study assessed the combined effects of climate change and vegetation factors on the habitat suitability of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) in the Greater Mekong Subregion. By integrating MaxEnt modeling with structural equation modeling, we identified plant distribution as a key determinant of elephant habitat selection under future climate ...

Clostridioides difficile as a Zoonotic and Foodborne Pathogen: Reviewing the Global Evidence and South African Data

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Clostridioides difficile infections are increasingly problematic in areas with already burdened healthcare systems. From a One‐Health perspective, a lack of surveillance in developing countries greatly contributes to the limited information available on the zoonotic and foodborne potential of C. difficile.
