Objectives: Extended life expectancy due to treatment improvements has increased the diagnosis of cancer among people living with HIV (PLWH) in Africa. Despite documented impacts of stigma on cancer preventive behaviours and care, little is known about the intersections of cancer and HIV stigma and the effects on prevention and care behaviours for both conditions. This study aims to examine experiences and drivers of cancer stigma and their associations with access to and utilisation of cancer prevention services among PLWH.

Study of feed intake rate as a physiological biomarker in Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus 1758) under Chlorpyrifos and Cypermethrin exposure.

Sci Total Environ

March 2025

Department of Zoology, Vivekananda Mahavidyalaya, Haripal, Hooghly 712405, West Bengal, India. Electronic address:

Chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin are the two most extensively applied insecticides in agricultural areas across the world and are found to contaminate adjacent water bodies, posing risks to non-target aquatic organisms, including fish. Aquaculture is primarily concerned with the feeding and growth of fish. This study evaluated the effects of sub-lethal concentrations of chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin on the physiological biomarker 'feed intake rate' of Oreochromis niloticus through 96 h static renewal bioassays.

Survey of West Nile virus infection in wildlife species in the Orinoquia region of Colombia.

Front Microbiol

February 2025

Laboratory of molecular studies of the Orinoquian region- LEMO, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Internacional del Trópico Americano, Universidad Internacional del Trópico Americano, Yopal, Colombia.

Studies focused on the epidemiological surveillance of arboviruses that cause potentially zoonotic diseases, such as dengue, Zika, or emerging viruses like West Nile virus (WNV), are critical due to their significant impact on public health. Although research on these infectious agents is increasing in Colombia, regions remain where the presence of zoonotic agents is still unknown. To address this knowledge gap, the present study aimed to investigate the current status of WNV circulation in wildlife in two municipalities of the department of Casanare (El Yopal and Paz de Ariporo) from the Colombian region of Orinoquia.

The study area is located in a hyper arid area in the Western Egyptian Desert, which represents a massive agricultural project where irrigation water is extracted from the Nubian sandstone aquifer. This study focuses on the hydrogeochemical processes and its impact on the quality of the groundwater aquifer. Based on the geomorphology, the study area includes five geomorphological units, Wadi Kurkur bediplain, Aswan High Dam Lake, the Nile Valley, the West Dungul plain, and basement outcrops.

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.
