Article Synopsis
- Humic substances in cattle manure can improve soil fertility and reduce organic fertilization costs, benefiting pepper plant growth.
- The study tested various doses of cattle manure and humic substances, finding that higher levels led to increased plant height, leaf area, and root dry weight.
- Specifically, using 12 kg ha-1 of humic substances with 8 Mg ha-1 of manure significantly raised nitrogen (36.05%) and potassium (10.62%) levels in the roots, enhancing overall plant nutrition.
Bats comprise one of the most diverse and abundant groups of mammals in the world and host a significant viral diversity with zoonotic potential. Bat adenoviruses (bat AdVs), members of the family Adenoviridae, have been detected in several bat species, suggesting that bats are natural reservoirs. Here, faeces and rectal/anal-swabs were collected from 321 bats of an urban Atlantic Forest remnant from Rio de Janeiro, during 2019-2022, and screened for bat AdV nucleic acid with PCR.
