Ultrastructure expansion microscopy: Enlarging our perspective on apicomplexan cell division.

Apicomplexans, a large phylum of protozoan intracellular parasites, well known for their ability to invade and proliferate within host cells, cause diseases with major health and economic impacts worldwide. These parasites are responsible for conditions such as malaria, cryptosporidiosis, and toxoplasmosis, which affect humans and other animals. Apicomplexans exhibit complex life cycles, marked by diverse modes of cell division, which are closely associated with their pathogenesis.

[The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence of sexual violence against children and adolescents in the home environment in Brazil].

The scope of this article is to identify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence of sexual violence against children and adolescents in the home environment in Brazil. It involves an ecological time-series study using joinpoint regression based on data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System from 2009 to 2021. The relative frequency and crude incidence rates of sexual violence occurring in the home against the population group aged 0 to 19 years were analyzed, estimating the annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percentage change (AAPC), with a 95% confidence interval.

Effect of the dietary supplementation with sunflower oil-enriched bromoform from Asparagopsis taxiformis on lambs' growth, health, and ruminal methane production.

The red seaweed Asparagopsis taxiformis has a potent antimethanogenic effect, which has been proven both in vitro and in vivo. Vegetable oil immersions of this seaweed (hereafter Bromoil) help stabilise the bromoform (CHBr) responsible for its antimethanogenic effect. We evaluate the effects of increasing the levels of CHBr in lamb diets on growth performance, methane (CH) production, animal health and meat quality.

The two alternative NADH:quinone oxidoreductases from : two players with different molecular and cellular roles.

is an opportunistic pathogen that has emerged as a major public health threat due to the increased incidence of its drug resistance. presents a remarkable capacity to adapt to different niches due to the plasticity of its energy metabolism. In this work, we investigated the energy metabolism of , focusing on the alternative NADH:quinone oxidoreductases, NDH-2s.
