Wohlfahrtiimonas species bacteria were isolated from the bloodstream of a patient with septicemia and wound myiasis. Environmental investigations identified a Wohlfahrtiimonas sp. among insects in the Americas and in a previously undescribed vector, the green bottle fly (Lucilia sericata). The isolates possibly represent a new species within the genus Wohlfahrtiimonas.

Insights into closed-wet ultrasonic carbonation of MSWI fly ash: Carbon sequestration, heavy metals stabilization, and PCDD/Fs migration and degradation.

This study proposed a novel closed-wet accelerated carbonation method based on ultrasonic chemistry for treating municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI FA), assessing various reaction parameters (time, temperature, CO pressure, ultrasonic power, and alkaline additives) on the detoxification and synergistic carbon fixation. The mechanisms of carbon sequestration, heavy metal migration-stabilization, and PCDD/Fs migration-degradation were elucidated. Key findings include the reaction kinetic of MSWI FA ultrasonic carbonation aligning with the surface coverage model (R > 0.

Article Synopsis
- - Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by protozoan parasites from the Leishmania genus, with around 20 species affecting humans and resulting in three main forms: cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral leishmaniasis.
- - The specific infecting species, along with parasite strains and genetic factors, influence the disease's clinical outcomes and treatment responses.
- - The disease is transmitted by sand flies, with only about 10% of species responsible for spreading Leishmania; reservoir animals also play a vital role in the disease's transmission dynamics, particularly in South America, specifically in Ecuador and Peru.

Leishmaniasis is classified as a neglected tropical disease (NTD), caused by protozoan parasites of the genus , which are transmitted to humans and other animals through the bite of infected female phlebotomine sandflies. There are three forms of the disease: cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) manifested by ulcers and scars; systemic or visceral leishmaniasis (VL), which can lead to life-threatening complications if left untreated; and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (MCL), which can destroy the mucous membranes of the nose, mouth and throat. Human leishmaniasis is endemic in many countries across Africa, Asia, Southern Europe, the Middle East, and Central and South America.

Early interactions between Leishmania-macrophages (MQ) of host and effect of sand fly saliva are central to leishmaniasis outcome. Macrophages are able to kill or act as long-term hosts of parasite depending on host immunity. It proved that immunogenic proteins in sand fly saliva mostly have an exacerbating effect on leishmaniasis by up-regulating cytokines.
