Antimony speciation, phytochelatin stimulation and toxicity in plants.

Antimony (Sb) is a toxic metalloid that has been listed as a priority pollutant. The environmental impacts of Sb have recently attracted attention, but its phytotoxicity and biological transformation remain poorly understood. In this study, Sb speciation and transformation in plant roots was quantified by Sb K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy.

The environmental mobility of antimony (Sb) is controlled by interactions with iron (Fe) oxides, such as ferrihydrite. Under near-neutral pH conditions, Fe(II) catalyzes the transformation of ferrihydrite to more stable phases, thereby potentially altering the partitioning and speciation of associated Sb. Although largely unexplored, Sb itself may also influence ferrihydrite transformation pathways.

The arrival of the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor on the western honeybee Apis mellifera saw a change in the diversity and prevalence of honeybee RNA viruses. One virus in particular, deformed wing virus (DWV) has become closely associated with V. destructor, leading many to conclude that V.

Antimony (Sb) and arsenic (As) are priority environmental contaminants that often co-occur at mining-impacted sites. Despite their chemical similarities, Sb mobility in waterlogged sediments is poorly understood in comparison to As, particularly across the sediment-water interface (SWI) where changes can occur at the millimeter scale. Combined diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) and diffusive equilibration in thin films (DET) techniques provided a high resolution, in situ comparison between Sb, As, and iron (Fe) speciation and mobility across the SWI in contaminated freshwater wetland sediment mesocosms under an oxic-anoxic-oxic transition.

Since its identification in late 2011, Schmallenberg virus (SBV) spread rapidly across Europe. Using archived samples from domestic ruminants collected between October 2011 and June 2013, the seroprevalence in the United Kingdom (UK) and Republic of Ireland (IE) was estimated using a serum neutralisation test. There was no significant difference (P>0.
