The UK-M isolate of the bipartite barley mild mosaic bymovirus (BaMMV UK-M) cannot be fungally transmitted, and has previously been shown to have a 1092 nt deletion in the coding region of RNA2. We now report, using sequence and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) data, that a subpopulation of BaMMV UK-M RNA2 contains a direct imperfect sequence repeat of 552 nt in the 3' untranslated region. The secondary structure of the 3' end of RNA2, and its possible effects on replication of the virus, are also discussed.

The Plectranthinae clade, which includes genera such as Plectranthus, Ocimum, and Aeollanthus, is well known for its diverse array of diterpenoids. While numerous studies have deepened the understanding of diterpene diversity across the clade, Aeollanthus species remain underexplored, with only two studies focusing on their diterpene profiles. The NMR-based chemical profiling of the EtOAc leaf extract of the rocky and succulent species Aeollanthus buchnerianus Briq.

Rabies is a viral zoonosis that kills thousands of people annually in low- and middle-income countries across Africa and Asia where domestic dogs are the reservoir. 'Zero by 30', the global strategy to end dog-mediated human rabies, promotes a One Health approach underpinned by mass dog vaccination, post-exposure vaccination of bite victims, robust surveillance and community engagement. Using Integrated Bite Case Management (IBCM) and whole genome sequencing (WGS), we enhanced rabies surveillance to detect an outbreak in a formerly rabies-free island province in the Philippines.

A multi-branched fluorogenic probe for the rapid and specific detection of Gram-negative bacteria is reported. Three Gram-negative-targeting azido-modified polymyxins were clicked onto a trivalent scaffold functionalised with the environmental green-emitting fluorophore 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole. The probe allowed wash-free detection of target bacteria with increased sensitivity and lower limits of detection compared to monovalent probes.

Article Synopsis
- Brain metastases significantly impact patients with metastatic melanoma, with a severe prognosis and limited durable responses to combined immune checkpoint inhibitors like PD-1 and CTLA-4, especially in symptomatic cases.
- Research shows that natural killer (NK) cells play a crucial role in enhancing the effectiveness of immune therapy against brain tumors, while their depletion leads to poorer outcomes and decreased CD8+ T cell levels within tumors.
- The study reveals that the effectiveness of PD-1/CTLA-4 blockade is dependent on chemokine-driven trafficking of CD8+ T cells to intracranial tumors, highlighting the complexity of immune responses in the brain.
Epidemiological and Genetic Insights of the Circulating Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Serotypes in Egypt.

Article Synopsis
- Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) poses a significant risk to livestock in Egypt, with recent outbreaks involving serotypes A, O, and SAT2.
- A study conducted from 2022 to 2023 analyzed 134 cattle samples, finding a 67.9% positivity rate for FMDV, primarily identifying serotype A and O strains.
- Genetic analysis revealed concerning mutations in key proteins, indicating potential challenges to vaccine effectiveness and emphasizing the need for improved surveillance, vaccine updates, and regional cooperation to control FMD outbreaks.
