    AI could transform how laboratories detect rabies

    2026-10-13T11:47:00Z By Tulay Ugurlu

    Researchers have developed a world-first AI system that can detect rabies virus infection in cell cultures and measure protective antibody levels with high accuracy. The approach could make laboratory testing faster, more consistent and more accessible in countries where rabies remains endemic.

    A natural plant signalling compound could help apples fight one of their most common storage diseases. Researchers found that salicylic acid slowed blue mould development while reshaping the fruit’s phenolic metabolism, revealing chemical changes that may help explain how apples resist fungal decay.

    Study maps antimicrobial resistance across major drinking water sources

    2026-10-13T10:10:00Z By Tulay Ugurlu

    Rivers, reservoirs and lakes can act as reservoirs for antibiotic residues and antimicrobial resistance, but the risks are not evenly distributed. A new study of drinking water sources in the Poyang Lake basin found that rivers and certain lake sites carried higher resistance-gene burdens, with mobile genetic elements emerging as a key factor linked to their spread.

    Elephants continue to shape the savanna even after death

    2026-10-13T09:37:00Z By Linda Stewart

    Researchers who studied the sites of elephant carcasses in South Africa’s Kruger National Park discovered that decomposition creates nutrient hotspots that can persist on the landscape for years, possibly decades. This flush of nutrients fuels microbial activity and plant vigor, which attracts herbivores to the site long after the visual signs of the elephant have disappeared.
