Zoonotic pathogens survey in free-living long-tailed macaques in Thailand

International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, 2022
Long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) are known to harbour a variety of infectious pathogens, including zoonotic species. Long-tailed macaques and humans coexist in Thailand, which creates potential for interspecies pathogen transmission. This study

Wildlife Disease Surveillance and Monitoring [PDF]

, 2009
Emerging diseases of human or veterinary importance are a major challenge to human society. As previously discussed, infectious diseases of wild mammal populations can have significant economic impact, may threaten human and livestock health (Artois et al. 2001), and can affect the welfare and conservation of game (Gortazar et al.

Selective Sequential Depolymerization of Mixed Plastics Mediated by Photothermal Conversion

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
This work provides a selective sequential depolymerization strategy for mixed plastic waste. The method enables depolymerization of poly(L‐lactide), polystyrene, and poly(ethylene terephthalate), including their post‐consumer plastics. Without presorting, monomer separation is achieved by leveraging the distinct chemical reactivities of each polymer in
