Patient‐ and caregiver‐reported barriers to chemotherapy in nine sub‐Saharan African countries: A cross‐sectional survey among population‐based registries

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Increasing cancer incidence and mortality in low‐ and middle‐income countries has heightened concerns about limited resources and barriers to care. This challenge is particularly urgent in Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), where cancer rates are rising sharply. Here, data from population‐based cancer registries in nine SSA countries was assessed to

Biting midge dynamics and bluetongue transmission: a multiscale model linking catch data with climate and disease outbreaks

Scientific Reports, 2021
Bluetongue virus (BTV) serotype 8 has been circulating in Europe since a major outbreak occurred in 2006, causing economic losses to livestock farms. The unpredictability of the biting activity of midges that transmit BTV implies difficulty in computing ...

Aromatic plants, nest bacterial diversity, and nestling condition in Corsican blue tits

Oikos, EarlyView.
According to the ‘nest protection hypothesis', some passerines incorporate fresh aromatic plants into their nests which reduce pathogens that can negatively affect nestlings. We experimentally evaluated the effect of five aromatic plant species on the nest bacterial microbiota of Corsican blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus.
