Purpose Systematic collection and analysis of antimicrobial resistance data from key bacterial pathogens is essential to contribute to control antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The aim of this work was to survey the drug resistance on clinically relevant organisms stratified according to age, gender, clinical specimens and facilities. Methods Microbiological data were collected from 55 centers across 24 states in Mexico between...
In Silico Design and Evaluation of TcGAPDH as a Vaccine Against Chagas Disease: A Reverse Vaccinology ApproachNARA Subscribed
Purpose The current treatment for Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi , presents significant limitations due to its variable efficacy depending on the stage of the disease and its associated adverse effects. This issue has driven research and the development of new therapeutic and preventive strategies, with a particular emphasis on vaccine design. Materials and methods In the present study, a bioinformatics approach w...
The Missing Global South in Climate Change Biology: Towards Equitable Knowledge Inclusion for Effective Global SolutionsNARA Subscribed
Over the last decades, climate change biology has become a central field in global science, yet knowledge production and its inclusion in global strategies remain profoundly unequal. Our bibliometric analysis of over 580,000 records shows that ~80% of author affiliations come from Global North institutions, meaning that research agendas, theoretical frameworks, and priorities are still largely shaped outside the regions with t...
Mixed Outcomes in Recombination Rates After Domestication: Revisiting Theory and DataNARA Subscribed
The process of domestication has altered many phenotypes. Selection on these phenotypes has long been hypothesised to indirectly select for increases in the genome‐wide recombination rate. This hypothesis is potentially consistent with theory on the evolution of the recombination rate, but empirical support has been unclear. We review relevant theory, lab‐based experiments, and data comparing recombination rates in wild progen...
First evidence of fish nocardiosis in Mexico caused by Nocardia seriolae in farmed red drum ( Sciaenops ocellatus , Linnaeus)NARA Subscribed
Between August and December 2013, the offshore cages of a commercial marine farm culturing red drum Sciaenops ocellatus in Campeche Bay Mexico were affected by an outbreak of an ulcerative granulomatous disease with up to 70% cumulative mortality. Thirty‐one adults displaying open ulcers on the skin were submitted for diagnosis. At necropsy, multiple white‐yellowish nodules (0.1–0.5 cm in diameter) were present in all internal...
Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyon...
NEOTROPICAL XENARTHRANS: a data set of occurrence of xenarthran species in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
Xenarthrans—anteaters, sloths, and armadillos—have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos,...
Large trees drive forest aboveground biomass variation in moist lowland forests across the tropicsNARA Subscribed
Aim Large trees (d.b.h. ≥ 70 cm) store large amounts of biomass. Several studies suggest that large trees may be vulnerable to changing climate, potentially leading to declining forest biomass storage. Here we determine the importance of large trees for tropical forest biomass storage and explore which intrinsic (species trait) and extrinsic (environment) variables are associated with the density of large trees and forest biom...
