This study aimed to assess the effect of exposure to organic pollutants in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Bats are among the most diverse of all mammalian species and serve as reservoirs of zoonotic viruses responsible for several recent pandemics; new technologies are providing insights into how the unique physiology and lifestyle of bats drive tolerance to virus infection.

Because immune-related genes in humans are genetically closer to bats than mice, dissecting bat biology can catalyze the discovery and understanding of molecular players in human antiviral immunity.

This paper supports SDG 15 by highlighting that the effects of loss of biodiversity due to climate change and associated changes in the distribution of venomous snakes will be most pronounced in tropical regions, where extensive land is devoted to agriculture and rearing livestock.
