The Karelian region, which spans the border between Finland and Russia, presents distinct environmental exposures and lifestyles on either side of the governmental border. In the more urbanized Finnish Karelia, allergic diseases are markedly more …
Read PDFOne Health is a concept and framework for addressing the interconnected nature of humans, animals and their environments to improve the health and wellbeing of all three, along with added social and financial benefits. On …
Read PDFAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical threat to global health, driven by the extensive use of antibiotics in both human medicine and livestock production. In the context of the One Health framework, this review investigates …
Read PDFThe leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) is a wild felid species that serves as a reservoir of zoonotic parasites. In this study, we investigated intestinal parasite taxa by reanalyzing previously published shotgun metagenomic sequencing data from …
Read PDFSingle-cell sequencing has revolutionized our understanding of cellular heterogeneity by providing a micro-level perspective in the past decade. While heterogeneity is fundamental to diverse biological communities, existing platforms are primarily designed for eukaryotic cells, leaving …
Read PDFBACKGROUND: The growing population and associated increase in municipal solid waste (MSW) have promoted the use of sustainable waste management strategies. Given its high organic content, MSW can be treated through anaerobic digestion (AD) and …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Microbiome science has emerged as a central component of the One Health framework, linking human, animal, and environmental health. Although global microbiome research has expanded rapidly, a comprehensive evaluation of microbiome research development and integration …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in human health, making it a cornerstone of modern biomedical research. To study its structure and dynamics, machine learning models are increasingly used to identify key microbial patterns …
Read PDFForest type strongly influences soil microbial community composition and associated carbon cycling, yet its influence on microbial functional traits remains poorly understood. In this study, metagenomics sequencing was used to investigate soil microbial communities and …
Read PDF<h4>Objectives</h4>Carrot is a significant vegetable crop contributing to agricultural diversity and food security, but less is known about the core microbiome associated with its rhizosphere. More so, the effect of preceding crop and cropping history …
Read PDFEnvironmental DNA (eDNA) analysis can be a powerful tool for monitoring biodiversity and assessing human impacts on ecosystems. In this study, we employed a genome-wide metagenomic eDNA approach to assess the marine biodiversity within and …
Read PDFCardiovascular diseases remain the leading global cause of morbidity and mortality, placing an escalating burden on health care systems and economies. While the gut microbiota is well recognized in atherosclerosis and cardiometabolic disorders, its influence …
Read PDFBACKGROUND: Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis (Foa) is a destructive soil-borne fungal pathogen responsible for bayoud disease, which threatens date palm cultivation in North Africa. This disease has caused significant agricultural losses, particularly in Morocco, …
Read PDFAfrican children suffering from severe acute malnutrition (SAM) have a disrupted gut microbiome and low short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). These are linked to persistently high mortality and morbidity rates. Supplementing recovery feeding regimes with suitable …
Read PDFBACKGROUND Common oral pathogens such as Treponema denticola, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Tannerella forsythia, which form biofilms in the periodontal pockets, are classified together as Red Complex bacteria in Socransky's subgingival cluster model and are key …
Read PDFIn low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), gram-negative bacteria cause over half of intensive care unit (ICU) infections, with up to 50% mortality associated with multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains. Hospital sink drains are increasingly recognized as reservoirs …
Read PDFTobacco target spot (TTS) disease, a prevalent fungal disease caused by <i>Rhizoctonia solani</i>, severely reduces tobacco yield and quality, imposing substantial economic losses on the tobacco industry. In this study, we employed a biological control …
Read PDFThe composition of the gut microbiota (GM) is altered in solid organ transplantation (SOT) recipients, where the degree of dysbiosis is associated with long-term survival and is believed to be influenced by immunosuppression therapy. At …
