Article Synopsis
- Manganese (Mn) is essential for life in plants and animals but can be toxic at high levels, often seen with MnSO in agriculture and mining exposure.* -
- Its excessive presence (hypermanganesemia) in mammals leads to neurological issues similar to Parkinson's disease, affecting dopaminergic neural circuits and potentially other health aspects.* -
- Research using Drosophila and crustaceans showed that high Mn levels hinder development, survival, and cardiac function, while also blocking certain neural responses and synaptic transmissions.*
: Simultaneous infections with multiple pathogens can alter the function of the host's immune system, often resulting in additive or synergistic morbidity. We examined how coinfection with the common pathogens Sin Nombre virus (SNV) and Bartonella sp. affected aspects of the adaptive and innate immune responses of wild deer mice ( Peromyscus maniculatus).
