Screening for Trypanosoma cruzi infection (Chagas disease) in the Latin American population living with HIV in London. [PDF]

HIV Med
Abstract Background There are an estimated 2482 people born in Latin American countries receiving care for HIV in the United Kingdom. Although national guidance recommends screening for Trypanosoma cruzi infection (Chagas disease) in this population, there is no formal screening programme.

Aiouea affinis (Lauraceae): A New Tree Species From the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aiouea is a Neotropical genus of Lauraceae currently comprising ca. 85 species. Descriptions of new taxa have been frequent in recent years, particularly in Brazil, which currently hosts 35 species, 24 of them being endemic. Based on a review of herbarium material and recent collections, we propose a new species, Aiouea affinis, named for its ...

Calibration of the species threat abatement and restoration metric's threat abatement component in a Costa Rican landscape

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Achieving global conservation policy goals requires the ability to set and measure progress toward science‐based targets for biodiversity. The species threat abatement and restoration (STAR) metric was developed to enable actors to set science‐based targets for species.

Potential vectors of Leishmaniases in the Environmental Protection Area and Tinguá Federal Biological Reserve, Municipality of Nova Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 246-259, June 2026.
This study was to describe the composition of sand fly fauna, detect potential vectors of Leishmania spp. in the Tinguá district, an ATL endemic, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Seven species of vectorial importance in the epidemiological cycle of leishmaniasis was observed: Nyssomyia intermedia, Migonemyia migonei, Pintomyia fischeri, Psychodopygus hirsutus ...

Species Distribution Modeling Reveals Future Climate Refugia and Important Areas for Rocky Plants in Brazil's Iron Quadrangle

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Climate change is projected to sharply reduce suitable habitats for eight endemic rupestrian plant species in Brazil's Iron Quadrangle. Ensemble niche models reveal species‐specific vulnerabilities and highlight climatic refugia and corridors that may support persistence.

Phylogeny of subtribe Gonolobinae (Apocynaceae‐Asclepiadoideae) based on molecular and morphological data with a revised generic classification

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract The presently most densely sampled molecular phylogeny of the widespread New World subtribe Gonolobinae is presented, including about 35% of the ca. 520 species. Sampling focused on an even representation of the three main areas of total Gonolobinae distribution, South America, Central/North America, and the West Indian Islands, and the ...

Lessons from an eradication under multiple constraints of an island rat population of record density

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Invasive rats threaten island biodiversity, disrupting ecosystems and endangering native species. Although rat eradication has succeeded on many islands, tropical islands present unique management challenges. Strict regulations and financial constraints on some tropical islands further limit proven eradication methods, complicating rodent ...

Adapting Species Risk Assessments to a Changing Climate: The Underestimated Vulnerability of Foundational Trees

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
Climate change is one of the top threats to biodiversity. However, many species risk assessment frameworks, including the globally authoritative International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, do not consistently and comprehensively incorporate loss of climatically suitable habitat into listing or threat categorization decisions.

Mixture models unveil the origin of the enigmatic Satyrinae butterfly genera Calisto and Llorenteana (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae) Los modelos de mezcla revelan el origen de los enigmáticos géneros de mariposas Satyrinae Calisto y Llorenteana (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
We provide the first reliable hypothesis on the phylogenetic position of Calisto and Llorenteana within the tribe Satyrini, based on genomic data representing all subtribes. We apply for the first time nucleotide mixture models, which overcame the inconsistencies resulting from the use of partitioned models in this and previous studies, obtaining a ...

Unraveling the Phenology of the Liana Marcgravia longifolia: Temporal Patterns and Climatic Cues

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We monitored the reproductive phenology of the Amazonian liana Marcgravia longifolia J. F. Macbr (Marcgraviaceae) for 84 consecutive months in the Peruvian Amazon to quantify the timing, synchrony, and seasonality of flowering and ripe fruiting. Flower presence peaked in August with intermediate synchrony, while ripe fruit presence peaked in November ...
