CASE REPORT: METAGENOMIC NEXT-GENERATION SEQUENCING APPLIED IN DIAGNOSING PSITTACOSIS CAUSED BY CHLAMYDIA PSITTACI INFECTION

Case Report: Metagenomic next-generation sequencing applied in diagnosing psittacosis caused by Chlamydia psittaci infection

BackgroundChlamydia psittaci is the causative agent of psittacosis in humans, while its rapid identification is hampered due to the lack of specificity of laboratory testing methods.Case presentationThis study reports four cases of C.psittaci infection after contact with a domestic parrot, all belonging Extension Cords to the same family.Common man

New land-use change scenarios for Brazil: Refining global SSPs with a regional spatially-explicit allocation model.

The future of land use and cover change in Brazil, particularly due to deforestation and forest restoration processes, is critical for the future of global climate and biodiversity, given the richness of its five biomes.These changes in Brazil depend on the interlink between global factors due to its role as one of the main Cropped Tee exporters of

The impact of fire on the Late Paleozoic Earth System

Analyses of bulk petrographic data indicate that during the Late Paleozoic wildfires were more prevalent than at present.We propose that the development of fire systems through this interval was controlled predominantly by the Cropped Tee elevated atmospheric oxygen concentration (p(O2)) that mass balance models predict prevailed.At higher levels o
