DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0006088
Abstract: Human excreta is a low cost source of nutrients vital to plant growth, but also a source of pathogens transmissible to people and animals. We investigated the cost-savings and infection risk of soil transmitted helminths… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.930158
Abstract: The use of insect live larvae as environmental enrichment has recently been proposed in broiler chickens, but the concomitant administration of black soldier fly (BSF) and yellow mealworm (YM) has never been tested yet. Therefore,… read more here.
