: A Model Eukaryotic Organism for Astrobiological Studies on Microbial Interactions with Martian Soil Analogs.

The exploration of our solar system for microbial extraterrestrial life is the primary goal of several space agencies. Mars has attracted substantial attention owing to its Earth-like geological history and potential niches for microbial life. This study evaluated the suitability of the polyextremophilic fungal strain LaBioMMi 1217 as a model eukaryote for astrobiology.

An updated systematic review with meta-analysis and meta-regression of the factors associated with human visceral leishmaniasis in the Americas.

Background: Human visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a systemic disease with high case-fatality rates and a widespread distribution. Continuous evaluation of the risk factors for VL is essential to ensure the effective implementation of prevention and control measures. The present study reviews the factors associated with VL in the Americas.

Leveraging Antarctic psychrotolerant fungi for PAH biodegradation, unveiling key factors influencing the process.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants, detected even in remote regions such as the Antarctic, Arctic, and Tibetan Plateau. Thus, understanding their biodegradation processes at low temperatures is crucial. Therefore, the potential of fungal strains from the Antarctic to biodegrade PAHs was explored.

Coordination of care in health systems for users with diabetes and hypertension: a scoping review.

Objective: to map the available evidence on the characteristics of care coordination between Primary Health Care and Specialized Outpatient Care for users with diabetes and hypertension.

Method: this is a scoping review with 40 articles as the final sample, evaluated by means of Content Analysis, of the thematic-categorical type, with the aid of a technological tool.

Results: care coordination was defined by means of eight categories: information and communication, integration of care, improvement and quality, care management, care sharing, fundamental attribute, health professionals and health service users, with the results of the articles concentrating mainly on four categories, with information and communication standing out, followed by the category of care management and the category of care sharing, in parallel with improvement and quality.

Mixed viral infections (Rotavirus, Herpesvirus and others) in European wild rabbits.

Infectious viral pathogens significantly impact wild Leporidae populations, particularly , which was listed as 'Endangered' in 2019. Myxomatosis and rabbit haemorrhagic disease are major contributors to severe epizootics with limited long-lasting immunity. This study expanded beyond these well-documented viruses to include a broader spectrum of viruses in 36 wild rabbit carcasses () collected from the field in 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2024, and 32 wild rabbits hunted in 2017/2018.
