Article Synopsis
- * Researchers collected 1,346 nasopharyngeal swab samples, isolating 879 high-quality genomes for analysis, focusing on clades, lineages, age-related associations, and mutations over a 10-month period.
- * Specific variants like B.1.1.7 (Alpha) and B.1.617.2 (Delta) were identified, along with unique mutations linked to the later Omicron variant, emphasizing the need for ongoing genetic monitoring to improve COVID-19 prevention strategies.
Management and Clinical Outcomes of Eyes With Posterior Segment Intraocular Foreign Bodies Seen at a Tertiary Referral Center.
Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina
August 2024
Background And Objective: This study aimed to identify the prognostic factors regarding the visual and anatomic outcomes of eyes with posterior segment intraocular foreign body (PS-IOFB).
Patients And Methods: The medical records of 95 patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy and PS-IOFB removal between 2004 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Data on anatomical and visual outcomes, as well as preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables were statistically analyzed.
Hybridization and adaptation to new hosts are important mechanisms of fungal disease emergence. Evaluating the risk of emergence of hybrids with enhanced virulence is then key to develop sustainable crop disease management. We evaluated this risk in , the fungus responsible for the common and serious scab disease on Rosaceae hosts, including apple, pyracantha, and loquat.

- Leaf blotch, caused by Alternaria species, is prevalent in apple-growing areas and associated with specific phylogenetic taxa, including a regulated pathogen known for producing a host-selective toxin (HST) that affects apple trees.
- Since 2016, the disease has led to leaf blotch and tree defoliation in central and southeastern France, prompting a study to identify the species responsible and check for the apple pathotype.
- The research found that while all tested isolates were pathogenic to the apple cultivars Golden Delicious and Gala, the apple pathotype was absent, and the Golden Delicious cultivar showed higher susceptibility to the Alternaria leaf blotch compared to Gala.
