Antimicrobial Peptides in Fiddler Crabs: Structural Analysis and Potential Applications
Abstract: Crustaceans represent the largest and most ecologically and economically significant group of marine and aquatic arthropods. Their biomass and critical role in ecosystems highlight their importance. Among crustaceans, decapods are frequently used as model organisms in studies of immune responses due to their significant commercial value and the need to mitigate disease outbreaks in shellfish aquaculture. Antimicrobial host-defense peptides (AMPs) are pivotal in metazoan immunity, especially for invertebrates lacking adaptive …

Rodents and Zoonotic Diseases: Environmental Drivers and Prevention Measures
Abstract: Among the most ubiquitous animal species, rats spread several human diseases. Found in cities, rural areas, and everywhere in between, rats have adapted remarkably well to living alongside people. Unfortunately, this close contact makes it easier for them to carry and pass on harmful germs. Their biology, fast breeding, and ability to host various bacteria, viruses, and parasites often without getting sick themselves make them especially effective at spreading disease.This …
