Confidence Intervals for a Proportion Estimated From Pooled Samples Based on Firth's Corrected Score

Biometrical Journal, Volume 68, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Interval estimation of a proportion estimated from testing of pooled samples has been studied by a variety of researchers, who have examined both exact and asymptotic methods. Recent work in point estimation has seen the use of Firth's correction to maximum likelihood estimation to reduce bias effectively. We consider the Firth‐corrected score

Assessing the Use of Oxford Nanopore Technologies Sequencing for Detection of Stable Wolbachia Bacterial Strain in Symbiosis in Wild Anopheles Mosquitoes From the WHO African Region

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study assesses Oxford Nanopore Technology sequencing to detect Wolbachia in Anopheles mosquitoes. To do this, samples were analysed using the ONT field sequencing kit and sequenced using a minION flow cell and the ONT 16S barcoding kit and Rapid barcoding kit sequenced using Flongle flow cells.

Preventing Invasive Non‐Native Species: A Horizon Scanning for the Canary Islands

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Oceanic islands host exceptional biodiversity and endemism but are highly vulnerable to biological invasions. We aimed to identify non‐native species with high potential to invade the Canary Islands within the next decade and to prioritise them based on their environmental and socioeconomic risks.

Diagnosis and Management of Infectious Encephalitis in Adults: Guidelines From the European Academy of Neurology and European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Encephalitis is difficult to diagnose and manage, posing a challenge to clinicians. Since the last European guidelines were published in 2010, novel causes have emerged, diagnostic processes have evolved and treatments assessed which need to be reflected in updated guidelines.

Membrane‐Permeable Nucleoside T‐1106 Diphosphate and Triphosphate Analogues as Antiviral Pronucleotides

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 34, 11 September 2026.
Favipiravir (T‐705) and the non‐fluorinated counterpart (T‐1106) are antiviral agents that inhibit the RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of various RNA viruses. The antiviral efficacy of nucleoside analogues is strongly dependent on their intracellular activation by cellular kinases to produce their corresponding triphosphate metabolites (T‐705‐RTP ...
