Polymorphic Clinical and Pathological Presentation of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria: A Case Series

Case Reports in Dermatological Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a group of mycobacteria widely distributed in the environment. They may cause cutaneous infections in immunocompromised and immunocompetent hosts. Clinical presentations can be significantly heterogeneous and are not species‐specific; moreover, histological features can vary, probably depending on host ...

Range Expansion of the Giant Water Bug Lethocerus patruelis (Stål, 1854) in Europe

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
We modeled the expansion of the giant water bug, with a focus on niche dynamics and habitat suitability. Our results show evidence for an ongoing expansion, with strong potential for further spread under future climatic conditions. ABSTRACT Climate change is altering freshwater ecosystems, causing extinctions, range expansions, and facilitating ...

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

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 11, Page 2894-2913, November 2025.
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
