Indian fruit bats, flying fox Pteropus medius was identified as an asymptomatic natural host of recently emerged Nipah virus, which is known to induce a severe infectious disease in humans. The absence of P. medius genome sequence presents an…
The unexpectedly large outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome in South Korea in 2015 was initiated by an infected traveler and amplified by several “superspreading” events. Previously, we reported the emergence and spread of mutant Middle East…

Las sequías de 1841–42 y, sobre todo, 1846–50 en el sureste ibérico, tan próximas y particularmente graves, entre las peores de que hay noticia histórica, movieron a la convocatoria de un certamen nacional para seleccionar la mejor memoria sobre las…
La sequía que padecen las tierras del sureste de la Península Ibérica ha devuelto a la actualidad la importancia que tiene este hecho natural para el desarrollo de las actividades humanas. Lejos del discurso catastrofista de la controvertida…
