is an established pathogen implicated in hospital-acquired infections and is notorious for its propensity to form biofilms on medical devices, leading to persistent environmental contamination and increased infection risks. Addressing this challenge, our study introduces a novel bacteriophage, Weishan phage (WSPA), isolated from the gut of L., exhibiting potent activity against multidrug-resistant strains of .

Mosquitoes are one of the most prolific disease vectors in nature, transmitting many infectious diseases, such as dengue, malaria, and yellow fever. Vector eradication campaigns are failing due to the increasing insecticide resistance shown by mosquito populations, causing efficacy loss of currently available chemistries due to their limited mode of action. Natural products (NPs) are chemistries with diverse chemical structures and potential unique modes of action for mosquito control.

Cockroaches live in diverse habitats around the world. In central Chile, wild cockroaches are commonly associated with native habitats in the Mediterranean-type temperate scrub and sclerophyll forest, contributing to several ecosystem functions. Cockroaches within this group share some characteristics of their external morphology, such as reddish-black color, both sexes with brachypterous wings, and similar size.

Background: Earlier studies have demonstrated significant differences in food allergy by race and ethnicity, particularly for seafood and shrimp. Shrimp allergy is particularly interesting given the potential for cross-reactive sensitization from other arthropods.
Objectives: We characterized risk factors for shrimp allergy and shrimp sensitization.

There are calls for research into the historical evolutionary relationships between humans and their commensals, as it would greatly inform models that predict the spread of pests and diseases under urban population expansion. The earliest civilizations emerged approximately 10 000 years ago and created conditions ideal for the establishment and spread of commensal urban pests. Commensal relations between humans and pests likely emerged with these early civilizations; however, for most species (e.
