Intestinal Histomorphometric Alterations During Experimental Strongyloidiasis in Mice Treated with Rosmarinus officinalis Essential OilNARA Subscribed
Purpose Strongyloidiasis is an intestinal helminthiasis that can induce structural alterations in the intestinal mucosa during infection. The present study evaluated histomorphometric alterations of the small intestine in mice experimentally infected with Strongyloides venezuelensis and treated with Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil. Methods Infected animals were treated orally with R. officinalis essential oil (200 or 400...
From agro-industrial waste to microbial pigments: advances in production substrates and extraction technologiesNARA Subscribed
Microbial pigments have been gaining prominence as sustainable alternatives to synthetic dyes, which are often associated with environmental impacts and potential health risks. A wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi and yeasts, are capable of producing pigments of industrial interest. Despite their potential, large-scale production still faces challenges related to cultivation costs and, in particular, extra...
Urban residue can be reused as inputs for forest production systems. This study evaluated the potential of organo-mineral fertilizers (OMFs) formulated from oil drilling cuttings from pre- and post-salt layers combined with sewage sludge for the early growth of Eucalyptus urograndis . However, field evidence on their use as fertilizers in forest systems remains scarce. Therefore, the raw residues and OMFs were chemically chara...
Phosphorus and base cations drive contrasting root dynamics in a central Amazon forestNARA Subscribed
Background and aims In highly weathered soils of central Amazonia, where nutrients such as phosphorus (P) and base cations are scarce, fertilization experiments have demonstrated above- and belowground effects on total net primary productivity (NPP). This study examined how fine root stocks and turnover responded to added nutrients over a two-year period. We predicted that adding a limiting nutrient would decrease fine root st...
Identifying urban hotspots of potential bird and pedestrian encounters through corridor overlapNARA Subscribed
One way people living in urban areas interact with wildlife is through encounters with birds. Research shows that visual and acoustic interactions with birds enhance the quality of life for city residents. However, global habitat loss and fragmentation have led to declines in most urban bird populations. As urbanization accelerates worldwide, it is essential to find ways for bird populations to thrive in cities while meeting c...
