Coronavirus Detection in Bats Captured on the Deforestation Arc of Mato Grosso, Brazil. [PDF]
Zoonoses Public HealthABSTRACT Coronaviruses (CoV) are RNA viruses associated with enteric and respiratory diseases and known for their emergence potential in humans and other mammals. CoVs originate from zoonotic transmission, in which bats are natural reservoirs. Previous studies suggest that CoV diversity is positively correlated with bat diversity, whereas anthropogenic

Transcriptomic, proteomic and biochemical comparison of luminescent and non-luminescent Keroplatinae larvae (Diptera: Keroplatidae). [PDF]
Insect Mol BiolTranscriptomic and proteomic comparison of luminescent O. fultoni and non‐luminescent Neoditomyia sp show that the substrate binding fraction (SBF) has a similar abundance of hexamerins and the presence of flavin‐dependent reductases. In addition to the high content of keroplatin, SBF also contains considerable amounts of riboflavin and displays ...

Frugivore richness poorly predicts seed dispersal effectiveness under climate change. [PDF]
Sci RepAnimal-mediated seed dispersal underpins forest maintenance, yet climate change threatens this mutualism by reshaping plant-frugivore overlap. Most projections assume that frugivore richness and binary interactions adequately capture seed dispersal ...

Peptides as a Therapeutic Alternative Against Leishmaniasis: A Scoping Review. [PDF]
Chem Biol Drug DesThis scoping review of 79 studies identified 231 antimicrobial peptides with anti‐Leishmania activity, including natural‐derived and synthetic peptides (inspired by natural sources or developed through rational design). Most were evaluated in vitro against promastigote and/or amastigote forms, with synthetic peptides showing a more promising effect ...
