Due to the oral vaccination of foxes against rabies most of the territory of Poland was freed from rabies of non-flying mammals. In January 2021, rabies was diagnosed in fox in the central part of Mazowieckie Voivodeship where rabies has not been detected since last 17 years. Subsequently, in the following months the rabies virus infection spread southward reaching the voivodeship of Świętokrzyskie in November 2021. Emergency actions were implemented aiming at rapid rabies elimination.

Article Synopsis
  • - Pumpkin is a nutritious fruit that is often turned into juice to minimize waste due to its perishability; this study focused on fermenting pumpkin juice using various lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains.
  • - Heat treatment before fermentation showed minimal effects on most components except for a decrease in carotenoid and polyphenol levels; fermentation consistently increased acidity and decreased pH without significant differences among LAB strains.
  • - The study confirms that certain LAB strains are effective for fermenting pumpkin juice, emphasizing the importance of thermal processing to enhance shelf life, nutritional value, and safety in the food industry.
