How endocrine disruptors affect fish reproduction on multiple levels: A review by Socha Magdalena, Chyb Jarosław, Suder Aleksandra, Bojarski Bartosz

“…Early-life exposure to these substances not only affects embryonic development, resulting in increased mortality and body malformations, but this also induces genetic changes in newly hatched larvae. All these observations underscore the need for monitoring the aquatic environment for EDCs and implementing protective measures to preserve the health and welfare of fishes and safeguard water ecosystems.…”

Absence of infection by Trichinella spp. (Nematoda: Trichinellidae) in free-living wild carnivores in Brazil by Lívia de Oliveira Andrade, Patricia Parreira Perin, Carmen Andrea Arias-Pacheco, Camilla de Souza Amorim, Fernanda Lefort, Fernanda Mara Aragão Macedo Pereira, Lauro Leite Soares-Neto, Antonio de Pádua Bordignon Fernandes, Wilson Junior Oliveira, Ricardo Shoiti Ichikawa, André Luiz Mota da Costa, Paulo Henrique Peira Ruffino, Karin Werther, Estevam Guilherme Lux Hoppe

“…This study aimed to diagnose Trichinella spp. infection through artificial tissue digestion and histopathology of selected tissues of wild carnivores from São Paulo state, southeastern Brazil.MethodsTissue samples (forearm muscles, diaphragm, and tongue) from 53 wild carnivores (21 Canidae, 25 Felidae, 04 Mustelidae, 03 Procyonidae) were used, along with a retrospective study of the slide bank, considering samples from the period 2010 to 2021, totaling 89 free-living carnivores (42 Canidae, 42 Felidae, 03 Mustelidae, 02 Procyonidae).ResultsEither artificial digestion or histopathological analyses did not reveal any larvae suggestive of Trichinella spp., indicating that the nematode was not circulating within the target population.ConclusionTo date, there is no direct evidence of nematode circulation in wild carnivores in the study area.…”
