Prospective of indigenous African wild food plants in alleviation of the severe iron deficiency anaemia in Sub‐Saharan Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 486-498, March 2026.
Iron deficiency anaemia remains a major public health challenge in Sub‐Saharan Africa, where population growth, displacement and limited resources heighten nutritional insecurity. We compiled a list of indigenous African underutilized wild food plants and examined their potential for addressing micronutrient deficiencies.

In Vitro Activities of Five Antifungal Drugs Against Conidia and Sclerotic Cells of Chromoblastomycosis Agent Fonsecaea spp

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 3, Page 139-147, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a chronic skin and subcutaneous infection mainly caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi, a dematiaceous fungus with various morphotypes. Characteristic sclerotic cells—globe‐shaped, multiseptated and pigmented—are found in lesions of infected individuals, though their differentiation in the host remains poorly understood. To

Scoop That Poop: Optimising Faecal Sample Pre‐Processing for Parasite Metabarcoding

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Molecular techniques such as DNA metabarcoding are increasingly used to characterise parasite communities. However, relatively few studies have examined how sample processing methods influence detection rates. We used faecal samples collected from free‐roaming horses to evaluate how parasite density and pre‐processing methods influenced ...

Carboxydotrophic Acetogenesis in Alkaline Conditions Results in Transient Formate Production by the Halo‐Alkaliphilic Acetogen Haloacetibacter carboxydivorans Gen. Nov. sp. Nov

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This work presents the physiological exploration of the halo‐alkaliphilic, carboxydotrophic acetogen bacterium MD4. In contrast to well‐characterised neutrophilic and slightly acidophilic acetogenic carboxydotrophs, this work shows an important role for formate production, instead of ethanol, as a redox exhaust mechanism in alkaline conditions ...
