Diversity of nocturnal Cerambycidae (Coleoptera: Chrysomeloidea) from seven localities in Michoacán, Mexico, with description of a new species.

We used a long-time light trap for capturing nocturnal beetles. The specimens collected belong to 24 species, 21 genera, 11 tribes, and three subfamilies of the family Cerambycidae. Of these, Gnaphalodes trachyderoides Thomson, 1861; Tylcus hartwegii (White, 1855); Anelaphus piceus (Chemsak, 1962); Metironeus hesperus Chemsak, 1991; Pseudoperiboeum subarmatum Linsley, 1935; Neocompsa puncticollis asperula (Bates, 1885); Compsibidion vanum (Thomson, 1867); Canidia spinicornis (Bates, 1881); Lepturges (Lepturges) angulatus (LeConte, 1852); Sternidius naeviicornis (Bates, 1885); Oreodera noguerai McCarty, 2001; Eupogonius arizonensis Knull, 1954; Lypsimena fuscata Haldeman, 1847; Arhopalus asperatus (LeConte, 1859); and Arhopalus montanus (LeConte, 1873) represent new state records.

Exposure to Dengue Virus During Pregnancy: Incidence and Impact on Maternal and Child Outcomes.

Dengue virus (DENV) is the most common arbovirus globally, with its incidence growing dramatically in recent decades. Although the effects of DENV infection during pregnancy are unclear, reported associations with adverse health outcomes include miscarriage, prematurity, and low birth weight. In this study, we used an IgG ELISA to identify mothers exposed to DENV during pregnancy by testing samples obtained from a previous study that followed a cohort of pregnant women in Kenya to investigate parasitic infections during pregnancy.

Source identification and human exposure assessment of organophosphate flame retardants and plasticisers in soil and outdoor dust from Nigerian e-waste dismantling and dumpsites.

Electronic waste (e-waste) dismantling and dumpsite processes are major sources of organophosphate flame retardant and plasticiser emissions and may pose potentially adverse effects on environment and human health. In 20 outdoor dust and 49 soil samples collected from four e-waste dismantling and three e-waste dumpsites in two States of Nigeria (Lagos and Ogun), we identified 13 alternative plasticisers (APs), 7 legacy phthalate plasticisers (LPs), and 17 organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs) for the first time in African e-waste streams. In the samples from dismantling sites, the range (median) concentrations of ∑APs, ∑LPs, and ∑OPFRs were 11-2747 μg/g (144 μg/g), 11-396 μg/g (125 μg/g), and 0.
