The Antiviral Activity of Polyphenols
Polyphenols demonstrate remarkable antiviral properties by effectively disrupting multiple biochemical processes essential for viral replication. ABSTRACT Polyphenols are secondary metabolites produced by a large variety of plants. These compounds that comprise the class of phenolic acids, stilbenes, lignans, coumarins, flavonoids, and tannins have a ...

Land Use Change and Infectious Disease Emergence
Abstract Major infectious diseases threatening human health are transmitted to people from animals or by arthropod vectors such as insects. In recent decades, disease outbreaks have become more common, especially in tropical regions, including new and emerging infections that were previously undetected or unknown. Even though there is growing awareness

Climate Change‐Driven Heatwaves Pose Lethal Risks to Newborn Forest Bats
This is the first recorded case of forest bat mortality in temperate regions caused by heatwaves. The study suggests that forest fragmentation exposes bats to lethal thermal peaks, highlighting a previously overlooked impact of climate change on these mammals and potential interactions with forest fragmentation.
