Biocontrol for Shrimp Disease: Comprehensive Review and a Bacterial Disease Biocontrol Practice
ABSTRACT Biocontrol is a key strategy for disease control, as it is environmentally friendly and widely applicable. This review elaborates on biocontrol in aquaculture, particularly in shrimp culture. Biocontrol in shrimp culture mainly relies on four strategies: (i) direct kill pathogen by Bdellovibrio or bacteriophages; (ii) suppression of intestinal

Abi3S212F Alzheimer's disease variant alters plaque structure and disrupts microglia
Abstract BACKGROUND Genetic variants affecting microglial function can influence Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The AD‐associated ABI3S209F (Abi3S212F in mouse) variant regulates cytoskeletal dynamics, but its in vivo impact on pathology is unknown. METHODS: An Abi3S212F mouse was developed and crossed with

*Hyphantria cunea* is a highly invasive forest pest in China, and its parasitoid *Chouioia cunea* is widely used for biological control, though climate change may alter their spatial matching. Using ensemble species distribution models under multiple SSP scenarios, we found that suitable habitats for both species are projected to expand, with ...

Plantations are the spearhead of adaptive silviculture, yet we do not understand how damage from abiotic and biotic agents relates to seedlings’ survival. In this study, we used multi‐state models, which originate from the medical field, to evaluate the relation between ‘damage history’, silvicultural treatments, and planted tree survival.

We show evidence for differential host use among the three sympatric Caenorhabditis, and a novel association with nitidulid beetles for C. apta sp. n. This information adds to our understanding of host invertebrate use across the Caenorhabditis phylogeny, highlighting potential evolutionary transitions in host use in need of further study.
