Phenotypic plasticity of ‘off‐host’ parasite stages in response to heatwaves in the Daphnia‐Pasteuria system

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Heatwaves challenge our understanding of how environmental stressors reshape host–parasite interactions, particularly during the critical “off‐host” stages of endoparasites. These stages, often dismissed as inert and unaffected by environmental changes, remain a black box in ecological research despite their key role in parasites' life cycle ...

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Self‐Reported Tetanus‐Toxoid‐Containing Vaccine Uptake Among Women Aged 15–44 Years in Ifakara Town, Tanzania: A Community‐Based Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Tetanus‐toxoid‐containing vaccines protect mothers and newborns, but cumulative uptake may decline at higher dose thresholds. We assessed knowledge, attitudes, self‐reported tetanus‐toxoid‐containing vaccine uptake, and factors associated with receipt of at least three doses among women aged 15–44 years in Ifakara Town ...

Seasonal Restructuring of Microbial Communities and Resistomes in the Shitalakshya River, Bangladesh Revealed by Shotgun Metagenomics

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Dry‐season pollutant concentration drives microbial restructuring in Bangladesh's Shitalakshya River, shifting communities from Myroides to stress‐tolerant genera while enriching metal resistance genes and efflux pumps, revealing non‐antibiotic co‐selection as a key driver of antimicrobial resistance in urban waters.

Flashing third eyelids and other involuntary facial movements in tetanus in four dogs

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract This study describes four dogs with tetanus that presented with ‘flashing third eyelids’ and other involuntary facial movements. Flashing of the third eyelids reflects the intermittent involuntary bilateral eyeball retraction accompanied by passive movements of the nictitating membranes. Four dogs presented with ‘flashing third eyelids’ either

Inactivation Strategies of Clostridium perfringens in Foods: Current Challenges and Emerging Interventions

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
Clostridium perfringens forms heat‐resistant spores that complicate food safety. Physical methods (thermal processing, HPP, vacuum cooling, ozone treatments) and chemical interventions (natural antimicrobials, phosphates, nitrate/nitrite, organic acids) reduce vegetative cells and spores, though spore resistance remains a major challenge in food and ...
