In areas with inadequate local case reporting, previous studies suggested that sentinel surveillance of infected travelers can be used to estimate virus transmission dynamics and spread from endemic locations18,26,36. Only 3036 laboratory-confirmed dengue cases were reported by Cuba in 2022, similar to...
Today is the thirtieth anniversary of the death of Michel Foucault. I am currently writing the Introduction of a special issue of IJFS (International Journal of Francophone Studies) on biopolitics and Francophone postcolonial literature, which is substantially based on Foucault’s work on the relations...
Future studies may also validate the application of Phylo- Chips as a versatile platform for monitoring and assessing reef water quality. This technology could also be coupled with other methods to assess the health state of corals including biochemical assays (Downs et al., 2005) or gene ...

Some of these species were also present in healthy tissue samples, but the putative primary pathogen, Aurantimonas corallicida, was not detected in any sample by either method. Although an ecological succession of bacteria during disease progression after causation by a primary agent represents a ...
There is a wide variety of bathymetric information on the Colombian Caribbean and the insular zone. However, it is not possible to find a bathymetry that allows the location of OTEC systems. Therefore, some studies carried out on the bathymetry of the Colombian Caribbean are presented below. The...
On the other hand, previous studies inspected samples collected further offshore while we collected as close as 50 m from the beach. However, the observed differences seem more an issue of floristic effort. Besides, the rinsing of the sargasso specimens should have washed away any loosely ...
located on both sides of the Caribbean (Portobelo) and Pacific (Tonosi) coasts. The methodology consisted of transects of 125 m and 40 m wide, with six circular plots every 25 m; in each transect, the diameter of the tree trunk was measured at breast height (1.3 m) and the species ...
In many virus metagenomic studies, multiple displacement amplification (MDA) is used as a standard method for unspecific sequence amplification, whereby small circular ssDNA sequences such as CRESS-DNA viral genomes are preferentially amplified. Hence, it has to be taken into account that relative ...
