Growing concerns about the conservation of elasmobranchs have prompted a surge in research, because scientific studies that can support management actions are needed.Sawfishes are among the most threatened fishes worldwide and epitomize the challenge of conserving widely distributed, large-bodied marine fishes.We used a comparative approach to prov
Abstract Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease of the motor neuron system associated with both genetic and environmental risk factors.Infection with enteroviruses, including poliovirus and coxsackievirus, such as coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), has been proposed as a possible causal/risk factor for ALS due to
Human trypanosomiasis affects nearly eight million people worldwide, causing great economic and social impact, mainly in endemic areas.T.cruzi and T.brucei are protozoan parasites that present efficient mechanisms of immune system evasion, leading to disease chronification.Currently, there is no vaccine, and chemotherapy is effective only in the ab
Bacterial resistance to present antibiotics is emerging at a high pace that makes the development of new treatments a must.At the same time, the development of novel antibiotics for resistant bacteria is a slow-paced process.Amid the massive need for new drug treatments to combat resistance, time and effort Crops preserving approaches, like the pro
