Phlogis kibalensis sp. nov. from Kibale National Park, Uganda is described and illustrated. It differs from the other species of the genus known from Africa (P. mirabilis) in the shape of the aedeagus, in particular the shape of the sub-apical lateral processes, as well as in style shape and some aspects of colouration.

Non-compaction cardiomyopathy and visceral leishmaniasis: uncommon combination with therapeutic challenges in a resource limited-setting.

Pediatric Department, Faculty of Medicine, National University, Khartoum, Sudan.
Non-compaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM) or spongy myocardium is a rare type of congenital cardiomyopathy. Visceral leishmaniasis is a protozoal disease caused by and transmitted by the bite of female sand-fly species of , which is common in tropical areas like Sudan. We report a 6-year-old female, presented with a fever of unknown origin, weight loss, anemia that necessitated multiple blood transfusions and had hepatosplenomegaly.

Fungi are well known for their ability to both produce and catabolize complex carbohydrates to acquire carbon, often in the most extreme of environments. Glucuronoxylomannan (GXM)-based gel matrices are widely produced by fungi in nature and though they are of key interest in medicine and pharmaceuticals, their biodegradation is poorly understood. Though some organisms, including other fungi, are adapted to life in and on GXM-like matrices in nature, they are almost entirely unstudied, and it is unknown if they are involved in matrix degradation.

In this paper, we present a review of stridulating species of aphids of the Macrosiphini genus (Hemiptera, Aphididae) and include 13 species. The most characteristic feature of the reviewed species is the presence of unusual aphids' peg-like sensilla distributed on the hind tibia, which are rubbed against the surface of the siphunculi. A new aphid species-, living on and (Campanulaceae) in Iran-is described and illustrated based on the apterous and alate viviparous females.

Carnivorous plants have fascinated botanists and ecologists with their various unusual adaptations in organ structure, physiology, and complex interactions with other organisms since the time of Charles Darwin. Species of the genus (bladderworts, family Lentibulariaceae) are carnivorous plants that prey mainly on invertebrates using traps (bladders) of leaf origin. In the traps, there are glandular trichomes called quadrifids, which produce digestive enzymes and absorb the products of prey digestion.

Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungus (Bd), is a significant threat to global amphibian populations, leading to widespread declines and extinctions. In the spring of 2023, Bd presence was detected in different amphibian species within two protected areas near Turin, Piedmont, Italy, following an unusual mortality event among the common toad (). Histological and molecular analyses confirmed Bd infection in a deceased sp.
