Vultures are integral to ecosystem health, functioning as natural scavengers by consuming carcasses and preventing the spread of infectious diseases to humans and other animals. India is home to nine vulture species, of which four are critically endangered, one is endangered, three are near-threatened, and one is of least concern according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The vulture population in India has suffered a significant decline since the 1990s, largely due to the use of diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used to treat livestock. Vultures ingest the drug by consuming carcasses of treated animals, leading to fatal kidney failure. Besides diclofenac poisoning, other threats to vulture populations include habitat degradation, reduced food supply, environmental toxins, human disturbances, and diseases. Vultures prefer undisturbed, remote locations for nesting, but human and animal interference is increasingly jeopardizing these sites and their breeding success. The review emphasizes the importance of various conservation strategies to mitigate vulture population decline. These include banning harmful veterinary drugs like diclofenac, establishing open captive breeding programs, and reducing human encroachment on vulture habitats. The review also highlights the need for creating vulture-safe zones, increasing food availability, and promoting public awareness. Protecting vulnerable vulture species is essential not only for preserving biodiversity but also for maintaining the health of ecosystems, as vultures play a vital role in the ecological balance.","PeriodicalId":51027,"journal":{"name":"Ecohealth","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144800802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current diagnostic methods, particularly qPCR, lack the capability to differentiate between these lineages, necessitating more accurate genotyping approaches. Here we propose the application of TaqMan SNP genotyping assays to discriminate Bd genotypes (Bd-GPL, Bd-ASIA2/Bd-BRAZIL, and Hybrid) in skin swabs, tadpole mouthparts, and Bd cultures from Brazilian bullfrog farms. Employing two assays utilizing both qPCR and dPCR, we identified genotype presence and analyzed the relationship between Bd load and genotype determination. The genotyping assay achieved approximately 57% success overall, rising to nearly 82% in samples with over 1,000 genomic equivalents. The use of dPCR also enabled the recovery of genotypes in previously unresolved samples, enhancing lineage detection in challenging field contexts. Culture samples achieved a 100% success rate. We identified all Bd genotypes previously reported in Brazil-the targets of our assay-and detected coinfections and hybrids in high-density farms. We hereby present an efficient method for discriminating Bd genotypes, applicable to both pure cultures and field samples with low Bd loads. We emphasize the need for advanced discriminatory methods and comprehensive genetic studies, particularly regarding national regulations governing breeding sites and the global amphibian trade. Our findings highlight the feasibility and relevance of the method and support further research into infection dynamics by different Bd lineages to inform amphibian conservation efforts and trade regulatory policies.","PeriodicalId":51027,"journal":{"name":"Ecohealth","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144745895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite Brazil's rich avian biodiversity, studies on AMR in wild bird populations are limited. This study investigated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcaceae in wild birds from Southern Brazil, analyzing molecular characteristics of isolates. Oropharyngeal swabs were collected from 248 birds in two protected areas and two wildlife rehabilitation centers over one year. The sample included resident, partially migratory, and migratory species from terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Using selective culture and molecular tests, methicillin-resistant isolates were identified in 2.8% of the birds. These isolates also exhibited multidrug resistance and were predominantly found in resident birds within protected areas and nearby, suggesting environmental circulation of resistance genes. This is the first report of methicillin-resistant S. haemolyticus with SCCmec type I in Brazilian wild birds. The detection of mecA-positive isolates human-impacted areas underscores the need for ongoing surveillance. By addressing a critical knowledge gap, this study highlights the importance of monitoring AMR dynamics in biodiversity-rich regions to mitigate the spread of resistant bacteria and safeguard both environmental and public health.","PeriodicalId":51027,"journal":{"name":"Ecohealth","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144745894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Semi-intensive to intensive shrimp farming has changed vast coastal areas into saline zones by altering land use and land cover. While shrimp cultivation significantly contributes to foreign exchange earnings, it also leads to various social and environmental impacts that affect planetary health. This study sees shrimp farming as a result of these Telecoupled dynamics. It uses a mixed-methods approach, combining both primary and secondary data to examine its effects on planetary health in Bangladesh's southwestern coastal areas. The findings reveal several important health and social issues associated with shrimp farming. These include (i) scarcity of drinking and household water, (ii) infectious diseases, (iii) non-infectious diseases, (iv) food and nutritional insecurity, (v) antimicrobial resistance and chemical contamination, (vi) mental pressure, (vii) disaster-related health vulnerability, (viii) social conflict, (ix) healthcare inequality, and (x) rural-urban migration. This analysis enhances our understanding of the complex interactions between humans and nature in shrimp farming systems and their evolving impacts on planetary health in southwestern coastal Bangladesh. The study stresses the urgent need for integrated, ecosystem-based agricultural practices to find a balance between economic benefits and sustainable health and environmental outcomes.","PeriodicalId":51027,"journal":{"name":"Ecohealth","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144719088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, human exposure to rats and their awareness of the associated risks are poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to identify factors associated with two aspects of vulnerability to leptospirosis as a model rat-associated disease: (1) exposure to rat urine in the home and (2) lack of awareness that rats carry leptospirosis. To collect data on residents' experiences and knowledge about rats, we mailed a survey to randomly selected households along an income gradient in Chicago. Of 432 complete cases, 36% had observed rat urine in the home and 73% were unaware that rats carry leptospirosis. Using logistic regression, we found that non-white respondents had over three times higher odds of observing rat urine in the home than white respondents. Dog owners and respondents who sought out information about rats, regardless of source, were more likely to be aware that rats carry leptospirosis. When we examined both aspects of vulnerability simultaneously using multinomial regression, we found that residents most vulnerable to leptospirosis (who had been exposed to urine and were not aware that rats carry leptospirosis) were significantly less likely to be white and less likely to be dog owners. Our results suggest that more public education is needed about rat-associated diseases spread through feces and urine and that exposure to rats should be considered another environmental health burden that is disproportionately persistent in underserved communities of color.","PeriodicalId":51027,"journal":{"name":"Ecohealth","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144719087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Mexico, understanding the potential distribution of Bd is crucial for conservation. Here, we developed an ecophysiological suitability index that integrates five key physiological parameters related to temperature. The environmental variables from WorldClim v2.1 were used to derive spatial representations of Bd's thermal responses. A multicriteria evaluation combined these parameters into an ecophysiological suitability index. This index was projected to 2050 and 2070 under two contrasting climate change scenarios. We also analyzed the overlap between Bd's suitability, natural protected areas (NPAs), and endemic amphibian geographic distributions to assess conservation implications. Our results indicate that Bd suitability is highest in the mountainous regions of central Mexico and declines significantly in coastal and lowland areas. By 2050 and 2070, both climate change scenarios predict reduced suitability across most of Mexico. Thirty-five percent of federal NPAs and 53% of state NPAs had high suitability for Bd. Endemic amphibians inhabiting mountains face greater suitability for Bd in their habitats. Our findings highlight the utility of mechanistic models for predicting pathogen distributions under environmental constraints.

Understanding factors contributing to rodent hantavirus transmission is crucial for assessing and predicting human hantavirus pulmonary syndrome risk. Infection dynamics are often studied using seroprevalence time series from serological tests, but this method only provides an average consequence over time, offering limited insight into timing or mechanisms. To overcome this, we developed a strategy which combines capture-mark-recapture data and longitudinal serological data in order to determine the likely time window for infection and correlate it with individual features (sex and age) and the weather conditions to which each individual rodent was subject throughout its lifetime. We applied our seroconversion model to field data from two sigmodontine species, Akodon azarae and Oligoryzomys flavescens, collected in agroecosystems in the Buenos Aires province of Argentina, from May 2014 to January 2016, with a trapping effort of 19,800 trap-nights. By using daily time series, we found different weather conditions related to high seroconversion rates for each species, hardly identifiable in seroprevalence data. Higher infection rates in males and the fact that strongest effects on seroconversion converge at the time of the year that corresponds to the reproductive period indicate that transmission may be connected to matting behavior. In addition, by comparing weather conditions that relate to seroconversion with those which favor virus persistence in the environment, we argue that nesting habits could also play a role in hantavirus transmission.","PeriodicalId":51027,"journal":{"name":"Ecohealth","volume":" ","pages":"244-255"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143712041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
