فطريات وطفيليات تهدد الأفاعي الجرسية البرية

كشفت دراسة واسعة على الثعابين البرية في جنوب شرق الولايات المتحدة عن أزمة صحية خفية، حيث تحمل العديد منها عدوى متعددة في الوقت نفسه. يبرز مرض فطري خطير يُعرف بداء الفطريات الأفعواني كأحد أكبر التهديدات، مع تأثر الأفاعي الجرسية القزمية بشكل خاص بسبب إصابتها المتكررة بالفطر وطفيلي رئوي.

  • A sweeping new study of wild snakes in the southeastern US has revealed a hidden health crisis slithering beneath the surface. Researchers found that many snakes are carrying multiple infections at once, with a dangerous fungal disease called ophidiomycosis — or snake fungal disease — emerging as one of the biggest threats. Pygmy rattlesnakes appeared especially vulnerable, frequently infected with both the fungus and a parasitic “snake lungworm.”

Why middle age is becoming a breaking point in the U.S.

A new international study finds that middle-aged Americans are lonelier, more depressed, and experiencing worse memory and health than earlier generations. Researchers say growing financial strain, weaker social supports, and chronic stress may explain why the U.S. is falling behind other wealthy nations.

Scientists mapped every neural connection in a fruit fly and found a surprise

A groundbreaking new connectome maps every neural connection in an adult fruit fly’s central nervous system, creating an unprecedented view of how the brain and body work together. The findings suggest that complex behaviors emerge from distributed local circuits rather than a single central controller, offering new clues about intelligence, movement, and brain function.
