Atypical chemokine receptor 4 (ACKR4) is regulated by cytokines, binds chemokines and regulates the chemokine gradient. We verified the cDNA sequence by confirming ACKR4 from red sea bream (PmACKR4) by next generation sequencing (NGS) and analysed the molecular characteristics and gene expression profile. In the analysis using the predicted amino acid sequence of PmACKR4, a highly conserved G protein-coupled receptor 1 region and two cysteine residues were identified and included in the ACKR4 teleost cluster in the phylogenetic analysis. In healthy red sea bream, PmACKR4 mRNA was expressed at the highest levels in head kidney and was upregulated in all immune -related tissues used in the experiment after challenges with Streptococcus iniae (S. iniae) and red sea bream iridovirus (RSIV). These results suggest that ACKR4 is highly conserved in red sea bream and may play an important role in the immune system as previously reported. It is thought that ACKR4 acts as a regulator of immune -related cells via immune reactions after pathogenic infection.

Anthropogenic pressures affect large stretches of Mediterranean coastal environments, determining alterations, including chemical pollution, able to impair ecosystem functioning and services. Among the pollutants of major concern for their toxicity and persistence, there are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which can be effectively monitored through bioaccumulation approaches. However, the main biomonitor of PAHs in the Mediterranean Sea, Posidonia oceanica, is currently undergoing extensive regressions due to anthropogenic pressures, forcing the search for alternative biomonitors.

Objective: In some regions of the globe, accidental food confusion regarding plants can cause severe poisoning events and deaths. The aim of this study was to report on those confusions from the Marseille Poison Control Centre's (PCC) experience from 2002 to 2023.
Results: Over 22 years, 2197 food confusion events were managed with 321 different species.

Liposomal drug delivery systems are successfully used in various fields of medicine for external and systemic applications. Marine organisms contain biologically active substances that have a unique structure and exhibit a wide range of biological activities. Polysaccharide of red seaweed (carrageenan (CRG)), and water-insoluble sea urchin pigment (echinochrome (Ech)) interact with each other and form a stable complex.

Deep sea microbial communities play a significant role in global biogeochemical processes. However, the depth-wise metabolic potential of microbial communities in hydrothermally influenced Central Indian Ridge (CIR) and Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR) remains elusive. In this study, a comprehensive functional microarray-based approach was used to understand factors influencing the metabolic potential of microbial communities and depth-driven differences in microbial functional gene composition in CIR and SWIR.

Background: Rift Valley Fever (RVF) is a mosquito-borne zoonotic disease that poses a serious threat to both humans and livestock across various regions, particularly in Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and parts of the Indian Ocean Islands. This study seeks to analyze the spatial and temporal distribution and trends of RVF outbreaks within the East African Community (EAC) countries, offering insights into the patterns and progression of these outbreaks in the region.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the Program for Monitoring Emerging Diseases (ProMed), a digital, event-based disease surveillance system, to identify reports of outbreak events in Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, and South Sudan from 2010 to 2024.
