Are Tetrapleura tetraptera Phytochemicals Druggable Against SARS‐CoV‐2 Papain‐Like Protein? A Computational Approach

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
SARS‐CoV2 Omicron and its substrains are still a critical global health issue and extremely contagious, even with widespread vaccination efforts. Hospitalizations and mortality rates linked to these variants are still prevalent. Current therapeutic options face challenges, including low effectiveness, suboptimal pharmacokinetics, and drug resistance ...

The Pampulha reservoir remains a potential urban focus of schistosomiasis mansoni in Brazil: changes in the occurrence patterns of Biomphalaria species and a new record of the parasite

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2013
Introduction The Pampulha reservoir has long been a focus of schistosomiasis transmission in Belo Horizonte, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The last malacological study conducted in this urban reservoir was more than two decades ago, and thus, an update ...

Using Natural History Collections to Determine the Relative Changes in Diversity and Distribution of Freshwater Molluscs in KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Research using natural history collections to track anthropogenic activities has recently been on the rise. Natural history collections have been utilised beyond their traditional taxonomic and systematic roles, generating data that shape present and future research.

ITS2 variability of Biomphalaria (Mollusca, Planorbidae) species from the Paranapanema Valley (São Paulo State, Brazil): diversity patterns, population structure, and phylogenetic relationships

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2007
The ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) has been shown to be a useful genetic marker for species identification and phylogenetic reconstruction in the genus of freshwater snails Biomphalaria (Preston 1910).

Freshwater Snails at the Biodiversity–Climate–Health Nexus: A Call to Recognize Neglected Models for Eco‐Evolutionary and One Health Research

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Freshwater snails occupy a unique position at the intersection of biodiversity, climate, and health. I argue that their ecological plasticity, reproductive diversity, and role as parasite hosts make them powerful yet overlooked model systems for integrating eco‐evolutionary dynamics with One Health challenges.

Extracellular Vesicle Properties and Functions Are Defined by the Originating Cell's Fitness Status

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent studies have focused on the role of dying cells in modulating immune function and shaping the local microenvironment. Apoptotic cells release various extracellular vesicles (EVs), such as exosomes and microvesicles, and form apoptotic bodies through membrane blebbing.
