Abstract:
... Inevitable use of pesticides due to modern agricultural practices and the associated worldwide environmental pollution has called the special attention of the researchers to overcome the persistence, recalcitrance, and multi-faceted toxicity of pesticides-based emerging contaminants. Some restricted use pesticides (RUPs) are highly toxic and carcinogenic chemicals that can be easily accumulated in ...

Abstract:
... The Bohai Sea is a semi-enclosed sea in northern China with highly industrialized and urbanized coastal areas and concomitant environmental degradation. Benzothiazoles (BTHs) and benzotriazoles (BTRs) are produced in high volume and widely applied in industrial and consumer products, and little is known about their occurrence and bioaccumulation in coastal marine invertebrates. We determined the c ...

Abstract:
... Special innate immune mechanisms against pathogens are developed in marine invertebrates such as mud crab, which is also an economically important aquaculture species in many coastal countries. Hemolymph is a critical site in host immune response, but its source of microorganisms is less known. In this study, we provided a detailed investigation of the microorganisms inhabiting various body sites ...

Abstract:
... Freshwater environments are the route through which inland plastics are transported to the ocean, explaining why the number of freshwater microplastic (MP) studies has recently been increasing. Despite the lack of recycling and the presence of severe plastic pollution in many African countries, MPs have been scarcely reported in African freshwaters and the current study gives the first empirical a ...

Abstract:
... Pinnatoxins (PnTXs) are emerging neurotoxins that were discovered about 30 years ago. They are solely produced by the marine dinoflagellate Vulcanodinium rugosum, and may be transferred into the food chain, as they have been found in various marine invertebrates, including bivalves. No human intoxication has been reported to date although acute toxicity was induced by PnTxs in rodents. LD50

Abstract:
... Harmful algal blooms are a source of increasing concern within the health, economic and ecological sectors. In the Mediterranean Sea, severe blooms of the benthic dinoflagellate Ostreopsis cf. ovata have been occurring since the beginning of the century, causing human intoxications by inhalation of bio-aerosols or direct contact with cells. The toxicity of this dinoflagellate is attributed to the ...

Abstract:
... It is now recognized that host microbiome, the community of microorganisms that colonize the animal body (e.g. microbiota) and their genomes, play an important role in the health status of all organisms, from nutrient processing to protection from disease. In particular, the complex, bilateral interactions between the host innate immune system and the microbiota are crucial in maintaining whole bo ...

Abstract:
... The effective number of species (ENS) has been proposed as a robust measure of species diversity that overcomes several limitations in terms of both diversity indices and species richness (SR). However, it is not yet clear if ENS improves interpretation and comparison of biodiversity monitoring data, and ultimately resource management decisions. We used simulations of five stream macroinvertebrate ...

Abstract:
... Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) are dynamic ecosystems that shift between aquatic and terrestrial states. IRES are widespread, abundant and increasing in extent, but developing biomonitoring programmes to determine their ecological quality is challenging. To date, quality assessments have focused on the aquatic organisms present during wet phases, whereas dry-phase communities rem ...

Abstract:
... The interaction of pollutants and pathogens may result in altered and often enhanced effects of the chemical, the biotic stressor or both. These interaction effects cannot be reliably predicted from the toxicity of the chemical or the virulence of the pathogen alone. While standardized detection methods for immunotoxic effects of chemicals exist with regard to human health, employing host-resistan ...
