Prevalence and incidence of sexually transmitted infections among South African women initiating injectable and long-acting contraceptives
CONCLUSIONS: Although the study participants received extensive counselling on the importance of condom use, this study highlights the high prevalence and incidence of STIs in South African women, especially amongst young women, emphasising the need for better STI screening and management strategies.PMID:37948399 | PMC:PMC10637674 | DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0294285 (Source: Herpes)

Molecular characterization of ornithostrongylus quadriradiatus isolated from a racing pigeon (columba livia domestica)
J Parasitol. 2023 Nov 1;109(6):543-549. doi: 10.1645/22-103.ABSTRACTAn infestation of Ornithostrongylus quadriradiatus, has been found in a racing pigeon Columba livia domestica). In addition, this individual had a mild infection with Trichomonas spp. and Eimeria spp. The bird showed symptoms of increased appetite; unformed, dark- green feces; and lack of typical male behavior, but the general condition of this pigeon was good. The pigeon was euthanized because of a permanent inability to fly due to an injury to the wing. A postmortem examination revealed the presence of very small dark-pink twisted nematodes with the morp...
