TL;DR: Evidence of person-to-person spread of Legionnaires' disease is reported.

TL;DR: Most cases were neither part of identified transmission chains, nor linked to travel or had contact with symptomatic persons or with animals, suggesting the possible previously undetected spread of monkeypox.

TL;DR: It is shown that future predictions of ocean warming and acidification may compromise the development of early life stages of a highly commercial teleost fish, Solea senegalensis, and exposure to future conditions caused a decline in hatching success and larval survival.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study was conducted to assess the impact of the 2009/2010 massive die-off on several populations of freshwater bivalves (e.g., Anodonta anatina, Corbicula fluminea, Margaritifera margaritifiera, Potomida littoralis and Unio delphinus) in the catchments of the Rivers Minho, Douro, Tamega, Tua and Sabor.

TL;DR: High pCO2 significantly decreased metabolic rates of flatfish larvae, Solea senegalensis, at both present and warmer temperatures, and hypercapnia increased the heat shock response and the activity of antioxidant enzymes, namely catalase and glutathione S-transferase, mainly in post-metamorphic larvae.
