are widely distributed in aquatic environments and strongly associated with eutrophic environments and human health through the consumption of contaminated seafood. However, the response of the community to seasonal variation in eutrophic environments is poorly understood. In this study, we used a -specific 16S rRNA sequencing approach to reveal the seasonal distribution pattern and diversity of the community in the Maowei Sea, Beibu Gulf of China. The Shannon diversity of the community was highest in the summer, while β-diversity analysis showed that community structures were significantly different between seasons. Distance-based redundancy analysis (dbRDA) and Mantel test analysis suggested that total dissolved nitrogen (TDN), total dissolved phosphorus (TDP), dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), salinity, and temperature were the key environmental factors shaping the community structure, indicating a strong filtering effect of trophic condition on communities. Furthermore, through random forest analysis, , , , , and the other eight species were more sensitive to eutrophic changes. This study revealed seasonal changes in communities and the influence of environmental variation on community composition, contributing to a better understanding of their potential ecological roles in a subtropical inland bay.

Enteropathogens are major contributors to mortality and morbidity, particularly in settings with limited access to water, sanitation, and hygiene infrastructure. To assess transmission pathways associated with enteropathogen infection, we measured household environmental conditions and assayed 22 enteropathogens using TaqMan Array Cards in stool samples from 276 six-month-old children living in communities along a rural-urban gradient in Northern Ecuador. We utilized multivariable models, risk factor importance, and distance-based statistical methods to test factors associated with infection.

Background: Community acquired lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) is a leading cause for hospitalization in children and important cause for antibiotic prescription. We aimed to describe the aetiology of LRTI in children and analyse factors associated with bacterial or viral infection.

Methods: Patients aged < 19 years with a diagnosis of LRTI were identified from the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model Database of Seoul National University Bundang Hospital from January 2005-July 2019, and their clinical characteristics were obtained from the electronic medical records and retrospectively reviewed.

Plague, a zoonotic disease caused by Yersinia pestis, remains a major public health threat in several parts of the world, including Madagascar. Factors underlying long-term persistence and emergence of the pathogen remain poorly understood. We implemented a longitudinal survey to provide insights into plague reservoir ecology within an endemic focus.

(MP) is a common cause of community-acquired pneumonia in children in China, and it is often prevalent in the autumn and winter seasons. In the autumn and winter of 2023, a large-scale epidemic outbreak of MP pneumonia occurred nationwide in the pediatric population, which brought harm to child health, caused a heavy disease burden, imposed a challenge to the pediatric medical service system, and aroused great attention from medical administration and public health fields. The widespread prevalence of macrolide-resistant MP (MRMP) in China has become a prominent problem in pediatric clinical practice.

The rapid development of low-cost sensors provides the opportunity to greatly advance the scope and extent of monitoring of indoor air pollution. In this study, calibrated particle matter (PM) sensors and a non-negative matrix factorisation (NMF) source apportionment technique are used to investigate PM concentrations and source contributions across three households in an urban residential area. The NMF is applied to combined data from all houses to generate source profiles that can be used to understand how PM source characteristics are similar or differ between different households in the same urban area.
