Impact of bauxite mining on mosquito communities (Diptera: Culicidae) and pathogen transmission risks in the eastern Amazon

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Bauxite mining in the Amazon alters mosquito communities, favouring anthropophilic and generalist vectors while reducing species diversity and the variety of blood meal sources. Molecular analyses identified humans, tapirs and deer as the primary blood meal sources.

Abundance and species diversity of mosquitoes (Diptera, Culicidae) in endemic areas for arboviruses in the Eastern Amazon, Brazil Abundância e diversidade de espécies de mosquitos (Diptera, Culicidae) em áreas endêmicas para arboviroses na Amazônia Oriental, Brasil

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
A total of 3671 adult specimens of Culicidae were identified, comprising 35 species distributed across 11 genera. Species of the genera Anopheles, Aedes, Psorophora, Haemagogus, Culex, Coquillettidia and Mansonia were identified in both localities and are considered of medical and epidemiological importance in the transmission of arboviruses ...

Metagenomic detection and characterization of RNA viruses associated with Rhipicephalus linnaei (Audouin, 1826) ticks from the Amazon, Pará, Brazil

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Metagenomic analysis of Rhipicephalus linnaei from the Brazilian Amazon revealed the presence of RNA viruses belonging to the families Chuviridae, Phenuiviridae, Orthomyxoviridae and Rhabdoviridae. This study reports the first detection of Brown dog tick mivirus 1 and Brown dog tick phlebovirus 2 in Brazil, based on genomic characterization and ...

Experimental and genomic evidence clarifies the mycorrhizal helper role of a widespread bacterium in Bishop pine forests

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Hypothetical model of Paraburkholderia–EcMF–Bishop pine interactions. Summary Whether a widespread bacterial strain of Paraburkholderia can enhance the physiological responses of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) and host Bishop pine seedling growth remains unclear. We developed a ‘top‐down meets bottom‐up’ approach that harmonized data from molecular field

Oral Candidiasis in Patients With Oral Lichen Planus Receiving Topical Corticosteroids: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To estimate the incidence and predictors of oral candidiasis in patients with oral lichen planus (OLP) treated with topical corticosteroids. Methods Retrospective cohort study of 312 adults with OLP followed for 487.5 person‐years. The primary outcome was the first microbiologically confirmed episode of oral candidiasis.

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Novel and emerging antimicrobial strategies in the management of oral infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Antibiotics marked a pivotal turning point in human civilization, enhancing social interactions and extending human life expectancy. In addition to their success in treating systemic infectious diseases, they have significantly improved periodontal treatment outcomes as an adjunct therapy.
