Tiana L Sanders
Spirometra is a genus of zoonotic cestodes with an ambiguous species-level taxonomic history. Previously, Spirometra mansonoides was considered the only species present in North America. However, recent molecular data revealed the presence of at least three distinct species in the USA: Spirometra sp. 2 and 3, and Spirometra mansoni. This study aimed to elucidate the diversity and potential host associations of Spirometra species among companion animals in the USA. Samples (N = 302) were examined...

African swine fever incursion risks in Latin America and the Caribbean: informal and legal import pathways

Guillermo Arcega Castillo
African swine fever (ASF) is a devastating hemorrhagic disease of swine with high mortality rates and severe socioeconomic impacts on affected pig industries. In 2021, ASF was reported in the Americas for the first time in 40 years, prompting risk assessments for its introduction and spread. This study evaluates ASF incursion risk across 40 territories in the Caribbean, Central America, North America, and northern South America. A structured, multi-step assessment synthesized peer-reviewed...

Investigating charge transport in a<em>p</em>-Si/<em>n</em>-poly(benzimidazobenzophenanthroline)-BBL thin film heterojunction diode

The physics of charge transport across the interface in an inorganic Si/organic conducting polymer junction diode has received little attention compared to the inorganicp-nsilicon diode. One reason is the amorphous nature of the organic polymer and the polymer chain orientation which introduces disorder and barriers to charge flow. Herein we first present an easy technique to fabricate an inorganic/organic,p-Si/n-poly(benzimidazobenzophenanthroline-BBL) junction diode. The physics of charge...
