Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus in Finland in 2021–2023 – Genetic diversity of the viruses and infection kinetics in human dendritic cells by Eda Altan, Veera Avelin, Kirsi Aaltonen, Essi Korhonen, Larissa Laine, Erika Lindh, Ilkka Julkunen, Niina Tammiranta, Tiina Nokireki, Tuija Gadd, Laura Kakkola, Tarja Sironen, Pamela Österlund

“…Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 is known for its virulence and zoonotic potential, infecting birds and mammals, thus raising public health concerns. Since 2021 its spread among birds has led to cross-species transmission causing epizootics among mammals, eventually impacting fur animal farms in Finland in 2023. …”

Investigating the diet of Mesolithic groups in the Southern Alps: An attempt using stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses by Valentina Gazzoni, Gwenaëlle Goude, Giampaolo Dalmeri, Antonio Guerreschi, Elisabetta Mottes, Franco Nicolis, Fabrizio Antonioli, Federica Fontana

“…The isotopic data and the Bayesian model developed from the latter and from data in the literature indicate a very significant proportion of terrestrial resources in the protein fraction of the human diet, particularly from red deer compared to other ungulates and potentially from freshwater fish and small mammals. These results add to the information provided by zooarchaeological studies and reopen the debate on the role of secondary resources such as chamois, ibex, small mammals and fish, such as pike, in the diet of these mobile human societies. …”

Determination of embryotoxic dose limit of detomidine with in-ovo model by Rahmi Canbar, Muhittin Uslu, Öznur Tufan, Enver Yazar

“…<p> <b>Conclusion:</b> Considering that the used smallest dose is 7.8 times higher than the highest recommended dose for the target species, recommended dose can be accepted safe in pregnant mammals for embryonic death. However, considering that the dose should be 100 times lower as a safety factor for mammals, it should be taken into account that negativities may also be observed.…”
