Early‐life Giardia infection and behavioural dysregulation in two dogs: A case‐based exploration of the gut microbiome–brain axis

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract This case report describes two dogs exhibiting severe behavioural problems, both diagnosed with early‐life giardiasis and raised in environments lacking adequate maternal care and socialisation. Both dogs experienced chronic gastrointestinal and dermatological issues, as well as prolonged early‐life stress, which likely contributed to ...

Water and Artisanal and Small‐Scale Gold Mining: A Review of the Literature

WIREs Water, Volume 13, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
This paper reviews the relationships between artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM) and water. We show the variegated impacts ASGM has on water and, thus, socio‐ecological systems and health. We conclude by identifying gaps in the scholarship.

Peripheral Neuropathy Induced by a Short Course of Metronidazole: A Case Report of Diagnostic Challenge

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Metronidazole is a commonly used antibiotic with a good safety and economic profile, but it may rarely be neurotoxic, causing peripheral neuropathy and encephalopathy. Most literature suggests that prolonged drug therapy, that is, a duration of > 4 weeks and a dosage of > 42 g, is associated with neurotoxicity, though the exact dose‐dependent ...

Quantitative microbial risk assessment with microbial source tracking for enteric pathogens in southwest Wisconsin private wells

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Private wells supply drinking water for many households, and their contamination by fecal microbes presents a risk of acute gastrointestinal illness (AGI). Risk is thought to vary by contaminating fecal source, but specific associations with fecal source are unknown for most private wells in the United States. This study characterizes AGI risk

Impacts of rodents in piggeries in Australia – review and pilot impact study

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2177-2189, March 2026.
Rodent impacts in Australian piggeries are under‐researched, with limited data on economic losses and control costs. A review and pilot study found average losses of AUD$100 000 annually. Key concerns include disease, damage, and control expenses.
