Hedgehogs and Angiostrongylus cantonensis: Uncovering the Role of Atelerix albiventris in the Parasite Life Cycle

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ongoing invasion of the zoonotic parasite Angiostrongylus cantonensis threatens humans, other mammals, and birds. In Mallorca, neurological disorders associated with this parasite are increasingly reported in free‐living Algerian hedgehogs, Atelerix algirus, raising public health concerns.

Humanimals: A Socio‐Ecological Reading of the Marseille Plague of 1720

Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this article is to return to a small number of historically significant first‐person testimonies of the Marseille epidemic of 1720 in order to analyse in detail their construction and depiction of human exceptionality as a form of life in a time of plague.

Imperative for a health‐centred focus on climate change in radiology

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
Summary Climate change negatively impacts individual and population‐level health through multiple pathways, including poor air quality, extreme heat and changes in infectious disease. These health effects will lead to higher health system and medical imaging utilisation.

Leveraging Synteny to Generate Reference Genomes for Conservation: Assembling the Genomes of Hector's and Māui Dolphins

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Escalating concern regarding the impacts of reduced genetic diversity on the conservation of endangered species has spurred efforts to obtain chromosome‐level genomes through consortia such as the Vertebrate Genomes Project. However, assembling reference genomes for many threatened species remains challenging due to difficulties obtaining ...

Needle in a Haystack: A Droplet Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay to Detect Rare Helminth Parasites Infecting Natural Host Populations

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Helminths infect humans, livestock, and wildlife, yet remain understudied despite their significant impact on public health and agriculture. Because many of the most prevalent helminth‐borne diseases are zoonotic, understanding helminth transmission among wildlife could improve predictions and management of infection risks across species.
