Leishmaniasis and Climate Change—Case Study: Argentina by Oscar Daniel Salomón, María Gabriela Quintana, Andrea Verónica Mastrángelo, María Soledad Fernández

“…These changes of contact in turn are modulated by both direct effects on the biology and ecology of the organisms involved, as by perceptions and changes in the behavior of the human communities at risk. Therefore, from the perspective of public health and state policy, and taking into account the current nonlinear increased velocity of climate change, we concluded that discussing the uncertainties of large-scale models will have lower impact than to develop-validate mitigation strategies to be operative at local level, and compatibles with sustainable development, conservation biodiversity, and respect for cultural diversity.…”

Diversity of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi Associated with Eucalyptus in Africa and Madagascar by Marc Ducousso, Robin Duponnois, Daniel Thoen, Yves Prin

“…Due to the ability of eucalypts to naturally form ectomycorrhizae, even in the absence of any controlled introduction of compatible ectomycorrhizal fungal partners, their introduction in new ecosystems has direct consequences for ectomycorrhizal fungus communities. A bibliographical compilation, together with original field observations on putative ectomycorrhizal fungi associated with eucalypts in Africa and in Madagascar, has been drawn up in two lists: one for Africa and one for Madagascar where surprisingly high fungal diversity was observed. …”
