Safety and efficacy of three alternative regimens against relapsing Plasmodium vivax malaria in glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient patients in the Brazilian Amazon (ALTPRIM).

Background: Daily primaquine-induced hemolysis is a common cause of complications during Plasmodium vivax malaria treatment in individuals with glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PDd). Alternative regimens balancing safety and efficacy are needed.

Methods: G6PDd participants with P.

Bio-based plasticizer Babassu oil for custom-made conductive additive-manufacturing filaments: towards 3D-printed electrodes applied to cocaine detection.

Babassu (Atallea sp.), a native palm tree from South America's Amazon produces bio-oil and biochar with significant potential for industrial applications. Babassu oil as a bio-based plasticizer is reported here for the first time to replace petrochemical alternatives in the production of conductive filaments for additive manufacturing purposes.

First report of and as the causal agent of pod and grain rot of soybean in Brazil.

Epidemics of pod and grain rot (PGR) of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), popularly referred to as "pod anomaly", have economically impacted Brazilian farmers, especially in Mato Grosso (MT), Brazil's largest producer state, where incidence varies from 10 to 40%.

Over 400 food resources from Brazil: evidence-based records of wild edible mushrooms.

Many species of mushroom-forming fungi have been harvested in the wild and used for food and medicine for thousands of years. In Brazil, the knowledge of the diversity of wild edible mushrooms remains scattered and poorly studied. Based on new samples, bibliographic records revision, and searches through the GenBank, we recorded 409 species of wild edible mushrooms in Brazil, of which 350 can be safely consumed and 59 are edible but with conditions.

Hidden target, hidden effects: chlorantraniliprole on the coffee leaf miner (Leucoptera coffeella).

Agricultural insecticide usage presents a complex challenge, particularly when addressing hidden targets such as concealed pest species. Typically, insecticide spraying targets either the host plant or the soil substrate, reaching the target when the pests move or feed, yet their vulnerability when concealed remains low. This study delves into the often-obscure effects of insecticides on hidden herbivore species, focusing specifically on the diamide insecticide chlorantraniliprole and its impact on the concealed insect herbivore, the coffee leaf miner Leucoptera coffeella (Guérin-Mèneville & Perrottet) (Lepidoptera: Lyonetidae).
