A new coccidian (apicomplexa: eimeriidae) in the critically endangered central american river turtle (dermatemys mawii) in belize
J Parasitol. 2022 Jan 1;108(1):93-99. doi: 10.1645/21-44.ABSTRACTAs part of a biannual health examination, coprological samples from 3-mo-old Central American river turtles, Dermatemys mawii (Gray, 1847) in a breeding program in Belize, Central America, revealed a previously undescribed coccidian (Apicomplexa) in 17 of 46 (37%) samples. Of 3 positive fecal samples transported to the University of Florida, coccidian oocysts were observed in 1 sample. Sporulated oocysts were measured and described, and using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), an approximately 400-base pair (bp) region of both the small subunit (18S) ribosomal ...

Mapping of global, regional and national incidence, mortality and mortality-to-incidence ratio of lung cancer in 2020 and 2050
CONCLUSION: With close to 2 million cases and deaths already in 2020, lung cancer has already become a global public health threat. Even with current risk levels and age-specific rates, lung cancer annual cases are expected to reach 3.8 million in 2050. Until smoking prevalence is reduced and ambient air pollution levels are checked, particularly in low/medium HDI countries, the lung cancer epidemic will continue unfolding.PMID:35020103 | PMC:PMC8753949 | DOI:10.1007/s10147-021-02108-2 (Source: Clinical Lung Cancer)

Collisional experiences with Dr. Pietro Traldi and the incredible group in Padova
Mass Spectrom Rev. 2021 Nov 24:e21756. doi: 10.1002/mas.21756. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTwo Early Classic period (ca. 250-600 CE) Maya carved, greenstone jade pendants, Specimens A and B, were recovered from the Pacbitun site in Belize in 1987. The specimens were visually similar and may have been cut from a common jade piece. Mass spectrometry was considered as a technique that could possibly be used to explore the similarity of the specimens. However, at that time, neither electrospray ionization nor matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) had been discovered; furthermore, only elemental analysis had bee...

Social convergence of gut microbiomes in vampire bats

Epub 2021 Nov 3.ABSTRACTThe 'social microbiome' can fundamentally shape the costs and benefits of group-living, but understanding social transmission of microbes in free-living animals is challenging due to confounding effects of kinship and shared environments (e.g. highly associated individuals often share the same spaces, food and water). Here, we report evidence for convergence towards a social microbiome among introduced common vampire bats, Desmodus rotundus, a highly social species in which adults feed only on blood, and engage in both mouth-to-body a...
