Eukaryotic composition across seasons and social groups in the gut microbiota of wild baboons

Mary N. Chege, Pamela Ferretti, Shasta E. Webb…·Elizabeth A. Archie

The paper characterizes eukaryotic diversity in wild baboon gut microbiomes and finds social group membership explains some variation, but season, age, and sex do not.

Sex differences in immune function and disease risk are not easily explained by an evolutionary mismatch

Audrey M. Arner, Benjamin Muhoya, Mitchell R. Sanchez Rosado…·Amanda J. Lea

This study examines sex differences in immune function and disease risk across populations, finding no consistent support for the evolutionary mismatch hypothesis.

Evaluation of staA, viaB and sopE genes in Salmonella detection using conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

Francis Kariuki, Pauline Getanda, Atunga Nyachieo…·Joseph Kamau

This study evaluates the use of staA, viaB, and sopE genes for detecting Salmonella spp. using conventional PCR, finding that staA and viaB are specific to S. Typhi while sopE is specific to all Salmonella strains.
