Importance: Fracture-related infection (FRI) is a serious complication following fracture fixation surgery. Current treatment of FRIs entails debridement and 6 weeks of intravenous (IV) antibiotics. Lab data and retrospective clinical studies support use of oral antibiotics, which are less expensive and may have fewer complications than IV antibiotics.

The province of Misiones, known for its biodiversity and land use changes, provides an excellent study location. We assessed the diversity, prevalence, abundance, and parasitic intensity of fleas collected from 1153 rodents and opossums in various environments in the Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest of Argentina, considering phytogeography and land use.

Overfertilization is one of the major byproducts of inadequate farming techniques. This leads to an imbalance in the soil ecosystem, affecting carbon sequestration, plant-available nutrients, and microorganisms.

- Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome cases in northeastern Argentina are rare, but neighboring regions have higher rates, indicating possible underreporting.
- A study was conducted to check for antibodies against orthohantavirus in small rodents in Misiones province.
- Infected rodent species, Akodon affinis montensis and Oligoryzomys nigripes, were discovered in protected areas of the province.
Article Synopsis
- Monitoring invasive species is crucial for managing their impact on native wildlife; this study focuses on the distribution and interactions of medium-large fauna in El Palmar National Park, Argentina.
- The research involved using camera traps to record the presence of two exotic species (axis deer and wild boar) and seven native species over a three-year period, revealing high spatial overlap and activity patterns among them.
- Findings indicated significant coexistence and potential competition, especially in winter, suggesting that exotic species may adapt their activity patterns to reduce direct competition with native fauna.
