Oxidative Stress Modulation and Antileishmanial Activity of Salvinia auriculata

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
Ethanolic extract of Salvinia auriculata showed significant antioxidant and antileishmanial activities. Salviniside II, the major metabolite, was isolated, structurally characterized, and evaluated, but exhibited weaker antiparasitic effects when compared to the whole extract.

Fungal Biodiversity From the Atlantic Forest With Bioactive Metabolites Against Cutaneous Leishmaniasis

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity offers a rich source of bioactive compounds for drug discovery. We isolated Aspergillus fumigatus from compost in the Atlantic Forest and found its extract active against Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis. Two crude extracts, I06 and I75, were selected for further study.

Will biodiversity actions yield healthy places? A systematic review of human health outcomes associated with biodiversity‐focused urban greening

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract There is growing interest in using urban greening projects to support biodiversity. While there are many potential co‐benefits, the health outcomes resulting from biodiversity‐supporting activities have yet to be synthesized. We conducted a systematic review of health outcomes associated with seven biodiversity‐supporting elements, including ...

Pixelated pathologies: Camera trapping as a tool for monitoring wildlife health

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Given the increasing emergence of diseases, some with conservation and public health implications, improving and expanding wildlife health surveillance strategies is imperative. Camera trapping is particularly relevant for detecting new outbreaks, monitoring high‐risk zones and evaluating risk mitigation measures. Abstract Camera trapping has become an
