Numerous alternative methods have already been evaluated to avoid the side effects of chemical insecticides for pest control, including plant extracts with insecticidal potential. This research aimed to evaluate the insecticidal potential (using the degree of lethality (DL%) as the parameter)...

Nos últimos anos, as artrites ou tenossinovites infecciosas têm provocado significativas perdas econômicas na produção de frangos de corte em todas as áreas com produção intensiva. Os principais danos causados por essas infecções incluem a piora nos índices zootécnicos dos lotes, condenações...

Em 2025 completam-se 10 anos do lançamento do Plano de Ação Global em Resistência aos Antimicrobianos (RAM). Os antimicrobianos (aqui definidos como moléculas que inativam ou inibem bactérias) revolucionaram a forma de enfrentar infecções bacterianas humanas e animais. Todavia, o uso excessi...

Recent studies on the characterization of the seminal microbiota have identified key factors associated with animal fertility, particularly influencing sperm quality. The use of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies and the development of advanced analytical tools have allowed for a more&...

Aquatic ecosystems are influenced by complex interactions among co-occurring species, impacting energy transfer and ecosystem functionality. Microalgae and macrophytes, as primary producers, play vital roles in regulating water quality, reducing the effects of high temperatures through shading, and contrib...

This study investigates the removal of ten sulfonamide antibiotic residues from swine wastewater using Chlorella spp. in a phycoremediation process. The effects of sulfonamides on microalgal biomass production, pigment content (chlorophyll α, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids), and the genotoxicity of&#x...

El alto nivel de nutrientes, particularmente nitrógeno (N) y fósforo (P), favorece el desarrollo de macrófitos (plantas de rápido crecimiento y alto rendimiento de biomasa) en los ecosistemas acuáticos. Las macrófitas acuáticas flotantes, comúnmente conocidas como lentejas de agua o “duckweeds”,&...

Floating aquatic macrophytes, commonly known as “duckweeds” are the smallest monocot angiosperms and form dense populations with genetically uniform clones. The high level of nutrients, particularly nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), favors the development of these fast-growing plants with high bio...

Over the past decade, much has been learned about the emergence of diseases, including pandemics (Zanella, 2016; Zanella and Zanella, 2023). Furthermore, this has demonstrated the importance of these problems to the health of all living organisms on the planet. Global health mainly ...
