Francisella orientalis DNA detected in feral tilapia populations in Hawai'i.

J Aquat Anim Health

December 2024

Animal and Veterinary Services Program, Biomedical Sciences, University of Hawai'i, Honolulu, Hawai'i, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • Francisella orientalis is a harmful bacteria that causes high death rates in warmwater fish like tilapia and has significantly impacted aquaculture worldwide, resulting in a moratorium on tilapia exports from Oahu since the mid-1990s due to repeated outbreaks.
  • A study was conducted to evaluate the presence of this bacteria in feral tilapia from various Hawaiian Islands using molecular and histological screening methods.
  • The results showed infection signs in fish from all five islands, but F. orientalis was only confirmed in Oahu, Maui, and Kauai, indicating its widespread prevalence among feral tilapia populations.

Background: In the 50 years since public health firearm research began, the decades have witnessed several pioneering investigators, followed by NRA backlash and a CDC funding moratorium, then increasing firearm mortality punctuated by mass shootings, and finally an unprecedented release of funding dedicated for research and to support trainees. Motivated by my own efforts to stay productive in firearm research, by the shirtsleeves-to-shirtsleeves cautionary lesson that wealth - for us this a researcher's funding, infrastructure, and capacity - amassed by one generation will soon diminish, and by my worry that we are not adequately dedicated to growing new investigators, I set out to document researcher lineages in this field.

Methods: I created a multigenerational lineage map to find authors using "gun" or "firearm" in the title/abstract as a way to find peer-reviewed publications on firearms as a public health issue.

The proliferation of betting shops in Spanish cities is causing a heated social debate in response to the undesirable impacts that businesses of this kind can have. As a result, associations and social movements have emerged to try to stem their expansion and, at the same time, regulations have been introduced to prevent the uncontrolled opening of this type of premises. The limitations set out in the legislation include minimum distances between betting shops and schools.

Objective: Having Type 1 diabetes (T1D) may complicate the normative developmental task of personal identity formation in adolescence and emerging adulthood. Besides exploring and committing to identity choices in different life domains, youth with T1D need to integrate their illness into their identity, a process labeled as illness identity. The present study examined whether youth with T1D belonging to different personal identity trajectory classes developed differently on four illness identity dimensions (acceptance, enrichment, engulfment, rejection).
