Sporotrichosis is an implantation mycosis with a high incidence in Brazil. Diagnosing human sporotrichosis poses significant challenges, which can lead to increased morbidity and prolonged treatment duration. Direct examination of fresh biopsies using Blankophor represents a valuable tool for rapid diagnosis, offering high sensitivity.

Aim Widespread species encounter a range of variable climates that can lead to intraspecific trait clines. Such clines can be the result of phenotypic plasticity, genetic differences, or both. Although latitude often explains a large part of trait variation, it is crucial to investigate the underlying environmental variables to understand current and future trait responses. Cross‐continental comparisons of species that are nat...

Thrips are one of the most damaging and economically costly pests in agricultural crops. Thrips parvispinus is an invasive species which has recently spread across Europe. It is a polyphagous pest that infests both vegetable and ornamental crops. At present, the use of biological control against T. parvispinus is at its infancy. Here, we tested the potential of predatory mites as biocontrol agents of T. parvispinus . We evalua...

Aspergillosis is one of the most common human fungal infections. The invasive form of this infectious disease has high mortality rates. Moreover, antifungal resistance has been increasing, thereby limiting treatment options. In Iran, limited species distribution, genotyping and susceptibility data regarding aspergillosis is available, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the current study, 124 patients with proven (n =...

Climate warming currently threatens many species with extinction, particularly those with a limited capacity for adaptation. Sea turtles have temperature‐dependent sex determination, whereby female hatchlings are produced at warmer incubation temperatures; hence, climate warming might cause the feminisation of populations. Recent evidence suggests that climate warming will outpace the ability of turtles to adapt through phenol...

Over 29 years (1996–2024) in a lagoon environment in the Chagos Archipelago (Indian Ocean) we conducted a mark-recapture growth rate study during which 135 juvenile hawksbill turtles ( Eretmochelys imbricata ) were each caught two or more times. Growth rate in straight carapace length (SCL) decreased in larger turtles with predicted mean growth rate for turtles with a starting SCL of 35 cm at 1.64 cm.y −1 , decreasing to 0.90...
