Recent survey efforts in Costa Rica have documented many new species of planthoppers, primarily in the families Derbidae and Cixiidae, on palms. Recently, a specimen was collected sweeping palms in the Los Angeles cloud forest in Costa Rica and was identified as belonging to the genus Herpis (Derbidae). It was subsequently determined to represent a previously undescribed species. Herein, the new species, Herpis circumsoros Bahder & Bartlett sp. n. is described with supplemental molecular data for the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene and 18S rRNA gene to support placement of the new species in the genus Herpis.

Introduction: Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease. It has been associated with high maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the outcomes of Dengue infection in pregnant women in terms of maternal bleeding, miscarriage, preterm delivery, severe Dengue, Dengue shock and maternal mortality, as well as foetal outcomes in terms of foetal distress, low birth weight and neonatal mortality.

The inactivation of ATCC 25922, using a commercial UV light processing unit, in tropical fruit beverages (pineapple, blackberry, star fruit, soursop, mango, passion fruit, , tamarind, hibiscus, and sour guava) was evaluated. Also, the effect on carotenoid content and microbial spoilage indicators (aerobic mesophilic bacteria and molds and yeasts counts) of UV light exposure (delivered UV dose: 14 mJ/cm at 25 °C automatically adjusted by measuring the UV transmittance through the liquid) compared to thermal pasteurization (71.1 °C for 3 s) in a mango beverage was analyzed.

Importance: The use of hypertonic saline (HTS) vs mannitol in the control of elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) secondary to neurotrauma is debated.
Objective: To compare mortality and functional outcomes of treatment with 3% HTS vs 20% mannitol among children with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) at risk of elevated ICP.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This prospective, multicenter cohort study was conducted between June 1, 2018, and December 31, 2022, at 28 participating pediatric intensive care units in the Pediatric Acute and Critical Care Medicine in Asia Network (PACCMAN) and the Red Colaborativa Pediátrica de Latinoamérica (LARed) in Asia, Latin America, and Europe.

Wildlife conservation law in Costa Rica protects common motmots (), limiting the specimens available to study their health and biology. This report describes the finding of the trematode in the trachea, air sacs, lung, and celomatic cavity of two free-living . Histiocytic air sacculitis and pleuritis with granulomas containing trematodes, as well as adhesions between the air sacs and pericardium, were observed.

The golden-mantled howler monkey () represents an excellent sentinel species for use in One Health modeling because of its extensive natural range, regular contact with humans and domestic animals, and susceptibility to zoonotic diseases. The purpose of this research is to establish baseline health assessments for free ranging golden-mantled howler monkeys in Marino Las Baulas National Park, Costa Rica. In April 2013, seven free ranging golden-mantled howler monkeys were anesthetized for physical examinations and biological sample collection, including blood for hematology and blood gas analysis.
