Abstract. Digital agriculture (DA) can contribute solutions to meet an increase in healthy, nutritious, and affordable food demands in an efficient and sustainable way. South America (SA) is one of the main grain and protein producers in the world but the status of DA in the region is unknown. A systematic review and case studies from Brazil, Argen...
Genomic Analysis of Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Strains Recovered from Chilean Hospitals Reveals Lineag...
Published in Microbiology Spectrum
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAb) is a public health threat accounting for a significant number of hospital-acquired infections. Despite the importance of this pathogen, there is scarce literature on A. baumannii molecular epidemiology and evolutionary pathways relevant to resistance emergence in South American strains. We analyze...
Zooming in on the molecular characteristics of swine influenza virus circulating in Colombia before and after the H1N1pd...
Published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Influenza is one of the most critical viral agents involved in the respiratory disease complex affecting swine production systems worldwide. Despite the absence of vaccination against swine influenza virus in Colombia, the serologic reactivity to classic H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes reported since 1971 indicates the virus has been circulating in the coun...
Assessment of CMIP6 models' performance in simulating present-day climate in Brazil
Published in Frontiers in Climate
Brazil is one of the most vulnerable regions to extreme climate events, especially in recent decades, where these events posed a substantial threat to the socio-ecological system. This work underpins the provision of actionable information for society's response to climate variability and change. It provides a comprehensive assessment of the skill ...
Occurrence of persistent organic pollutants and chlorpyrifos in Tadarida brasiliensis tissues from an agricultural produ...
Published in Environmental science and pollution research international
Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are lipophilic and persistent compounds, with chronic toxicity that cause negative effects on the environment and organisms. The chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate insecticide and represent the main insecticide currently used in many countries. The concentrations of OCPs, PCBs, a...
Bacterial and fungal pathogens in granulomatous lesions of Chelonia mydas in a significant foraging ground off southern ...
Published in Veterinary research communications
The green sea turtle Chelonia mydas inhabit near-shore areas exposed to threatening anthropogenic activities. The granulomatous lesions in these animals may indicate infectious diseases that can be associated with environmental contamination and hazards to human health. This study aimed to characterize the granulomatous inflammation associated with...
