Unlabelled: Infertility, both primary and secondary, is strongly influenced by microbiological factors, with the vaginal microbiota playing a key role in reproductive health.
Objective: The aim of this study was to characterize the vaginal microbiota of 136 Mexican women diagnosed with infertility-primary (n = 58) and secondary (n = 78)-by evaluating the presence of pathogenic bacterial species and their associations with infertility conditions.
Methods: Samples were obtained through cervical swabs, and microorganism identification was performed using qPCR techniques.

Members of the subgenus Herpetosoma are specialized parasites of mammals of the order Lagomorpha and Rodentia. It is estimated that around 50 species within this subgenus are transmitted by several flea species. These parasites have recently gained attention from a public health perspective because several species have been reported to infect humans.

We examined the evolutionary history of Phytophthora infestans and its close relatives in the 1c clade. We used whole genome sequence data from 69 isolates of Phytophthora species in the 1c clade and conducted a range of genomic analyses including nucleotide diversity evaluation, maximum likelihood trees, network assessment, time to most recent common ancestor and migration analysis. We consistently identified distinct and later divergence of the two Mexican Phytophthora species, P.

Environmental temperature impacts the physiological processes of reptiles, determines their hours of activity per day, and may constrain their ability to meet critical ecological requirements. When environmental temperatures reach freezing, a few lizard species exhibit two mechanisms (supercooling and freezing tolerance) to survive freezing, and these two processes depend on cryoprotective molecules, such as glucose. Organisms produce high glucose concentrations to reach lower than normal crystallisation points, and this blood glucose concentration can double after freezing.

Background: Plastic pollution is a significant environmental problem caused by its high resistance to degradation. One potential solution is polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a microbial biodegradable polymer. Mexico has great uncovered microbial diversity with high potential for biotechnological applications.
