Article Synopsis
- The study assessed whether culturally and linguistically adapted versions of the US adolescent substance use prevention program, keepin' it REAL (kiREAL), effectively increased drug resistance strategies among Mexican students and if this led to reduced substance use.
- Over 5,500 middle school students were randomly assigned to one of three groups: a culturally adapted version (MREAL), a linguistically adapted version (kiREAL-S), and a control group, with data collected at multiple intervals.
- Results showed that both MREAL and kiREAL-S improved the use of drug resistance strategies, but only MREAL led to a significant reduction in the frequency of substance use behaviors, highlighting the importance of cultural adaptation in prevention programs.

A binational team of investigators culturally adapted, implemented, and tested the efficacy in Mexico of keepin' it REAL, a US-designed prevention intervention for youth. This article reports on the social validity of the adapted intervention by assessing its feasibility, acceptability, and utility, as perceived by participating middle school students, teachers/implementers, and school administrators. Middle schools (N = 36) were randomly assigned to (1) the culturally adapted version for Mexico (Mantente REAL), (2) the original intervention from the USA (keepin' it REAL) translated into Spanish, or (3) a control condition (treatment as usual).

Background: We report on the results of an entomovirological surveillance system of Aedes populations performed by the Ministry of Health of the central state of San Luis Potosí, Mexico.
Methods: Indoor adult Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus pools collected at San Martín, Tamazunchale, Ciudad Valles, Metlapa, Ebano, Tamuin and Axtla during the dry season of 2016 were examined for the presence of dengue (DENV), chikungunya (CHIKV) and Zika (ZIKV) viruses using real-time PCR.
Results: Both Ae.

Understanding the origin of biodiversity requires knowledge on the evolutionary processes that drive divergence and speciation, as well as on the processes constraining it. Intraspecific polymorphisms can provide insight into the mechanisms that generate and maintain phenotypic, behavioural and life history diversification, and can help us understand not only the processes that lead to speciation but also the processes that prevent local fixation of morphs. The 'desert cichlid' Herichtys minckleyi is a highly polymorphic species endemic to a biodiversity hotspot in northern Mexico, the Cuatro Ciénegas valley.
