Transfusion‐transmitted malaria in India: A national survey of epidemiology and testing practices

Vox Sanguinis, Volume 121, Issue 7, Page 1010-1019, July 2026.
Abstract Background and Objectives Malaria still poses a public health burden in India despite ongoing elimination efforts. Blood donor screening for malaria is mandated in India, yet data on transfusion‐transmitted malaria (TTM) are lacking. We sought to evaluate testing practices for malaria, associated rates of positivity in donors and reported ...

The Contribution of Chemistry to the Detection and Enumeration of Legionella pneumophila in Environmental Water Samples: Experience With the MICA Method

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Legionella pneumophila is the principal species responsible for Legionnaires' disease, and measuring microbial load is fundamental to the analysis of environmental water samples. This study compared a new lipopolysaccharide bioprobe method (Microcolony Counter Analysis), which detects and counts L.

When First‐Line Therapies Fail: Surgical Site Infections and the Declining Antimicrobial Utility in a Resource‐Limited Nation

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
In Belize, a 7‐year nationwide study reveals a sharp rise in antimicrobial resistance in surgical infections. ESBL‐producing bacteria more than doubled to > 45%, with critical treatment gaps and geographic hotspots identified. Sentinel pan‐drug‐resistant cases and a correlation between antibiotic use and resistance underscore the urgent need for ...

IAM‐FIRE: A Climate Emulator–Based Framework to Project Wildfire Impacts and Risks for Integrated Assessment Models

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
Current models can overestimate how much carbon forests can store if they ignore the growing threat of wildfires. To solve this, we develop a new tool called IAM‐FIRE to predict global wildfires and associated carbon emissions through the year 2100. The results show how future fire impacts depend on human choices. If we rapidly cut emissions and ensure

La2O3‐Doped ZrO2 Tapes for Enhanced Thermomagnetic Conversion in CoFeB Heterostructures

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This work investigates the thermomagnetic response of La2O3‐doped ZrO2/CoFeB heterostructures for energy harvesting applications. La2O3‐doped ZrO2 ceramic tapes were fabricated via tape casting, followed by the deposition of CoFeB ferromagnetic thin films using magnetron sputtering.
