Development of Metagenomic Methods for Health Monitoring of Endangered Species Using Fecal Samples

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Metagenomic analysis of fecal samples is emerging as a powerful tool for monitoring endangered species, particularly in assessing the burden of pathogens and parasites that can threaten population viability. However, accurate identification in non‐model species remains challenging due to the frequent absence of host‐specific pathogen reference

Aptamer Engineering: Strategies for Discovering Functional Nucleic Acids for Next‐Generation Diagnostics and Biosensing

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, 9 January 2026.
The advent of aptamers has highlighted their potential as alternatives to antibodies, overcoming limitations of structural instability and production cost. However, conventional approaches such as SELEX remain slow and labor‐intensive. This review examines recent advances in aptamer engineering, emphasizing in vitro and AI‐driven in silico strategies ...

A Shigella sonnei Outbreak in Nagasaki

Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, 2000
We have experienced an outbreak of dysentery in Nagasaki. Shigella sonnei were positively cultured from 467 patients out of suspected 821 cases, and 346 patients were admitted. 121 patients were treated with oral antimicrobials in the outpatient clinic. Five patients were diagnosed as secondary infection.
