Heated Aquatic Shelters Reduce Infection Intensity but Not Prevalence of a Fungal Pathogen in Common Toad Tadpoles

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
In a mesocosm experiment we tested whether heated aquatic shelters would help tadpoles of amphibian populations to eliminate Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) infection or reduce its costs. Our results showed that, after appropriate modifications, the shelters could be effectively used in mitigation actions against Bd or other waterborne pathogens ...

Aerosol Measurements and Decadal Changes: The Role of Climatic Changes and How It Reflects in Respiratory Allergies and Asthma

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The causative agents of respiratory allergies are bioaerosols, such as house dust mite feces, pollen grains, and fungal spores. Climate change and urbanization are considered to lead to an increase in the load of allergenic bioaerosols due to impacts on plant phenophases and allergenicity. Continuous and efficient monitoring of the atmospheric
