As the concentration of microplastics/microspheres (MPs) in coastal and estuarine regions increases, likelihood disease outbreaks epidemics also rises. Our study investigated impact polyvinyl chloride MPs (PVC-MPs) on white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infection shrimp. The results revealed that PVC-MPs obviously increased WSSV replication vivo, leading to a high mortality rate among larvae facilitating horizontal transmission WSSV. Furthermore, data loads detected together with qPCR, agarose gel electrophoresis, flow cytometry approaches indicated could interact prolong survival maintain virulence at different temperatures pH values. In terms host resistance, metabolomics transcriptomics analysis demonstrated exposure upregulated metabolic concentrations gene expressions associated phospholipid metabolism were innate immunity responses. Particularly, stimulated synthesis phosphatidylcholine (PC) induced lipid peroxidation. inhibition PC Stimulator Interferon Genes (STING) translocation from endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus reduces expression genes (IFN-like Vago4 Vago5) regulated by STING signaling pathways, resulting significant decrease shrimp's resistance infection. Notably, recovery operation which exposed transferred MPs-free aquatic environment led decreased infectivity over time, indicating restoration antiviral properties Overall, these findings highlight promote shrimp susceptibility two aspects: immune defense viral virulence.

Microplastic pollution has become a global concern, with potential negative impacts on various ecosystems and wildlife species. Among these species, ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) are particularly vulnerable due to their feeding habits proximity aquatic environments contaminated microplastics. The current study was designed monitor microplastic (MP) pollutants in the freshwater ecosystem of Panjkora River, Lower Dir, Pakistan. A total twenty (20) duck samples were brought up for four months 13 days banks river, no food intake outside river. When they reached an average weight 2.41 ± 0.53 kg, all sacrificed, dissected, transported ice box laboratory further analysis. After sample preparation, such as digestion 10% potassium hydroxide (KOH), density separation, filtration, identification, MP content counted. 2033 particles recovered from 20 mean value 44.6 15.8 MPs/crop 57.05 18.7 MPs/gizzard. MPs detected surface water 31.2 15.5 MPs/L. major shape types fragments crop (67%) gizzard (58%) fibers (56%). Other fibers, sheets, foams. majority size range 300-500 µm (63%) crops, 50-150 (55%) gizzards, while most 150-300 (61%). Chemical characterization by FTIR found six polymers. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) had greatest polymer detection rate (39.2%), followed polyvinyl chloride (PVC) (28.3%), high-density (HDPE) (22.7%), polystyrene (6.6%), co-polymerized polypropylene (2.5%), homopolymer (0.7%). This investigated presence microplastics crops gizzards ducks, well river water. results revealed significant pervasive occurrence both avian digestive systems surrounding environment. These findings highlight threat ecosystems, emphasizing need research effective mitigation strategies address this pressing environmental concern.

Biofilms that colonize on the surface of microplastics (MPs) in freshwaters may pose a potential health risk. This study examined factors influence MP-associated biofilm growth, including polymer type, degree weathering, and source water quality. Weathered MPs produced in-lab were employed trials conducted site using passive flow-through system with raw at drinking treatment facility intakes. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was used to quantify abundance; composition assessed via metagenomic sequencing. Biofilm growth observed all types most prevalent polyvinyl chloride (PVC), where ATP levels 6 12 times higher when compared other polymers. Pathogen-containing species Salmonella enterica Escherichia coli present polymers relative abundance up 13.7%. S. selectively enriched weathered specific matrices. These findings support need research accumulation pathogenic organisms microplastic surfaces.
