Aim We investigate the distribution of dispersal modes — endozoochory (via animal ingestion), synzoochory (via animal seed accumulation) and anemochory (via wind)—and seed mass of woody plants across Brazilian ecosystems, testing whether their relative abundance in local plant communities could be predicted by climate, edaphic factors and dispersal agents (e.g., the main vectors moving seeds). We expected climate to be the mai...
Cat-transmitted Sporotrichosis: A Clonal Household Outbreak with Atypical Human and Canine Disease Due to Sporothrix brasiliensisNARA Subscribed
The epidemiology of sporotrichosis, a neglected mycosis caused by Sporothrix species, has shifted in South America from classic sapronosis to urban zoonosis driven by feline transmission of the hypervirulent Sporothrix brasiliensis . However, the fine-scale transmission dynamics of this epidemic, particularly within households, remain poorly understood. Here, we dissect an intrafamilial outbreak in Brazil involving a cat (the...
Virulence and Immune Response of Campylobacter jejuni Strains in Chicken Embryo ModelNARA Subscribed
This study aimed to evaluate the virulence and infection response of Campylobacter jejuni (CJ) strains isolated from chickens, as well as a standard strain isolated from humans, to understand better the pathogen-host relationship between CJ and chicken embryos (CE) with an active immune system. With its well-developed vascular structures, the CE model offers a valuable method for studying complex biological systems. We assesse...
Air pollution remains a persistent environmental and public health concern in urban regions. This study presents a 22-year analysis (2001–2022) of coarse particulate matter (PM 10 ) concentrations across 15 monitoring stations in the Porto Metropolitan Area (PMA), Portugal. The stations, pre-classified by national authorities as traffic, background-urban, background-suburban, or industrial, were used to assess long-term tempor...
