Population Status, Ecology and Conservation Challenges of Cattle Egrets (Bubulcus ibis), Especially in the Southern Africa Subregion: A Systematic Review and Evidence Synthesis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) occupies a wide range of natural and human‐modified habitats, yet research effort across its range is highly uneven. Our systematic review of 173 studies synthesises patterns in population trends, habitat use, breeding ecology, threats and ecosystem services, revealing strong geographic and thematic biases in available ...

Low Nest Success of Black‐Legged Kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) at a Mainland Colony Is Not Associated With Disturbance From Walkers or Boats: Implications for Compensation for Offshore Renewables Impacts

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Offshore wind energy is rapidly expanding in the North sea foraging grounds of internationally important seabirds, with predicted impacts on their survival and productivity. Since reduction to breeding colony disturbance is a proposed compensation measure for these impacts, we used a seven‐year dataset of > 1400 black‐legged kittiwake nests at an ...

Q Fever in Africa: A Systematic Review of Prevalence, Zoonotic Potential and Disease Burden

open access: yesPublic Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
Q fever is widespread across Africa, with livestock as the primary source of human infections. Although some prevalence data exist, its economic burden is still lacking. The findings underscore the need for a One Health approach that integrates surveillance, economic assessment and control to reduce the disease burden.

CLIMATE CHANGE INFLUENCES ON THE RISK OF AVIAN INFLUENZA OUTBREAKS AND ASSOCIATED ECONOMIC LOSS [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper examines the effect that climate has on Avian Influenza outbreak probability. The statistical analysis shows across a broad region the probability of an outbreak declines by 0.22% when the temperature rises 1 Celsius degree and increases by 0 ...

Aggregation of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in a Human H5N1 Clade 2.2 Hemagglutinin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The evolution of H5N1 has attracted significant interest 1-4 due to linkages with avian 5,6 and human infections 7,8. The basic tenets of influenza genetics 9 attribute genetic drift to replication errors caused by a polymerase complex that lacks a ...

Acute Respiratory Deterioration Following Parvovirus B19 Infection in a Patient With Interstitial Lung Disease: A Case Report

open access: yesRespirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
A 70‐year‐old man with interstitial lung disease developed a fever and facial rash, with new bilateral ground‐glass opacities on high‐resolution computed tomography. Parvovirus B19 infection was confirmed, suggesting viral infection as a trigger of acute exacerbation through direct and immune‐mediated mechanisms.
