Current stewardship practices in invasion biology limit the value and secondary use of genomic data
Abstract Invasive species threaten native biota, putting fragile ecosystems at risk and having a large‐scale impact on primary industries. Growing trade networks and the popularity of personal travel make incursions a more frequent risk, one only compounded by global climate change.

Endoparasitic infections in dogs from rural areas in the Lobos District, Buenos Aires province, Argentina [PDF]
Dogs are definite hosts for several zoonotic helminthes and protozoan. Rural areas from the Lobos District in the northeast of Buenos Aires province, Argentina, are mainly used for livestock activity, increasing in this way the number of dogs on farms as

Synthetic Biology‐Based Engineering Living Therapeutics for Antimicrobial Application
This perspective highlights synthetic biology‐driven antibacterial strategies, focusing on three innovative approaches: engineered bacteriophages for precision bacterial targeting, reprogrammed microbes that detect quorum‐sensing signals or metabolites to release antimicrobials, and engineering mammalian cells that recognize pathogen‐associated ...

Integrating climate change, biological invasions, and infectious wildlife diseases
Climate change is likely to affect infectious diseases that are facilitated by biological invasions, with repercussions for wildlife conservation and zoonotic risks. Current invasion management and policy are underprepared for the future risks associated with such invasion‐related wildlife diseases. By considering evidence from bioclimatology, invasion

Towards tick virome and emerging tick‐borne viruses: Protocols, challenges and perspectives
Emerging tick‐borne viruses are considered a significant public health threat. The understanding of the tick virome has been revolutionized by high‐throughput meta‐transcriptomic sequencing, and numerous novel pathogens have been unveiled. However, effective data integration and comparative analyses have been hindered by inconsistent research protocols.
