Structure, conservation and health implications of urban wild meat value chains: A case study of Lagos, Nigeria by Samuel N. Akpan, Pim van Hooft, Anise N. Happi, Ralph Buij, Frank van Langevelde, Elizabeth A.J. Cook, James M. Hassell, Dawn M. Zimmerman, Sherrill P. Masudi, Christian T. Happi, Lian F. Thomas

“…Conservation and public health interventions should be node-specific and gender-sensitive, targeting the dry seasons when actors' activities peak, and risks of human-wild meat contact are greater. There is need for the re-assessment of the conservation statuses of West Africa's wildlife species to reflect current realities foisted by wild meat trade.…”

Influence of Rail Line Gradient and Curve on Pantograph-Catenary Dynamic Performance by Huan ZOU, Ning ZHOU, Dong ZOU, Weihua ZHANG

“…The results showed that, when the slope change rate is 0, the influence of line on the dynamic response of the pantograph/catenary isn’t obvious;the positive slope change rate of the contact wire decreases the mechanical wear of pantograph/catenary, the stability of current is reduced, and it increases the electrical wear, but the negative slope change rate of the contact wire makes opposite; the smaller the radius of the vertical and horizontal curve, the worse the stability of the pantograph/catenary dynamic performance, which can not be ignored in the simulation, and it should be considered in the line design, construction and interval speed limit of horizontal curve and vertical curve setting.…”

Antibiotic pretreatment inhibits white band disease infection by suppressing the bacterial pathobiome by Jason D. Selwyn, Jason D. Selwyn, Brecia A. Despard, Brecia A. Despard, Kai A. Galvan-Dubois, Kai A. Galvan-Dubois, Emily C. Trytten, Emily C. Trytten, Steven V. Vollmer, Steven V. Vollmer

“…We found the prophylactic use of antibiotics led to significantly reduced infection rates in disease exposed corals with a 30-percentage point decrease in the infection rate. Analyses of 16S rRNA amplicon gene sequencing data in the disease exposed corals demonstrated that antibiotic pretreatment resulted in coral microbiomes which were less speciose and contained relatively fewer Vibrio spp. than untreated corals, indicating that the benefit of the antibiotic pretreatment was its ability to reduce the relative abundance of intrinsic secondary opportunists and/or opportunistic pathogens suggesting their likely importance to the etiology of WBD. …”

Microbiological Characteristics of Intestinal Biocenosis of Ambulator Patients Having Behavioral Risk Factors for Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases by I. A. Krylova, V. I. Kupaev, A. V. Ljamin

“…When using a metaprebiotic complex containing inulin and oligofructose, an improvement in the composition of the intestinal microflora was found due to a decrease in the frequency of release of conditionally pathogenic enterobacteria and other gram-negative microorganisms (median degree of contamination: from 0.45 (0.3-0.98) to 0.3(0.21-0.7) at low suboptimal status and from 0.5(0.7-1.7) to 0.31 (0.2-1.3) at high) and increase the frequency of enterococcal excretion (median degree of contamination: from 5,58 (4,16-7,0) tо 6,3 (4,8-7,8) at low suboptimal status and from от 4,5 (2,8-6,3) tо 5,1 (3,8-6,4) at high). …”
