Angiostrongylus vasorum is a metastrongylid nematode that parasitizes the pulmonary arteries and right heart of canids, being the etiological agent of canine angiostrongylosis, a disease of growing veterinary concern due to its expanding geographic distribution and the involvement of domestic and wild hosts. In Brazil, the parasite has been reported mainly in domestic dogs and some wild canids, and its occurrence in mustelids...

Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium bovis , which has major veterinary, economic, and zoonotic relevance. This study aimed to characterize the histopathological patterns of bTB lesions and their association with molecular detection in cattle slaughtered in Southern Brazil. Thirty-six tissue samples with lesions suggestive of bTB were collected during municipal inspection in Pelotas...

Aquaculture has been established as a sustainable alternative to traditional fisheries, which face challenges such as overexploitation and environmental degradation. However, disease outbreaks, often caused by poor farming conditions, pollution, and environmental stress, remain a major concern, leading to economic losses and increasing the risk of antibiotic resistance due to the overuse of antibiotics. Therefore, it is crucia...

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...

Predicting the geometrical evolution of the pore space in geological formations due to fluid–solid interactions has applications in reservoir engineering, oil recovery, and geological storage of carbon dioxide. However, modeling frameworks that combine fluid flow with physical and chemical processes at a rock’s pore scale are scarce. Here, we report a method for modeling a rock’s pore space as a network of connected capillarie...

Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising approach to cancer treatment, offering improved survival rates and enhanced patients’ quality of life. However, realizing the full potential of immunotherapy in clinical practice remains a challenge, as there is still plenty of room for modulating the complexity of the human immune system in favor of an antitumor immunogenicity. Nanotechnology, with its unique properties, holds promise...

Motivation Freshwater ecosystems have been heavily impacted by land‐use changes, but data syntheses on these impacts are still limited. Here, we compiled a global database encompassing 241 studies with species abundance data (from multiple biological groups and geographic locations) across sites with different land‐use categories. This compilation will be useful for addressing questions regarding land‐use change and its impact...
