Abstract:
... Ricin toxin (RT) belongs to the ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) family of toxins and is considered to be a moderate threat by the US Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). RT poses a great potential threat to the public, but there has been a lack of effective treatment options so far. Over the past few decades, researches on the prevention and treatment of RT poisoning have been inves ...

Abstract:
... Fungicides applied singly are frequently used to ensure disease control in the cultivation of leafy vegetables. The behavior of fungicide mixtures and their impact on plant biochemical and antioxidant status was poorly investigated. The main goal of this study was to compare the impact of fluazinam, a separately applied fungicide, and its mixtures (dithianon+fluazinam, dodine+fluazinam) during dis ...

Abstract:
... Scavengers provide significant nature's contributions to people (NCP), including disease control through carcass removal, but their non-material NCP are rarely considered. For the first time, we assess the extent and value of the NCP provided by European avian scavengers through a scavenger-based tourism at Pyrenean supplementary feeding sites (SFS). Using a two-step cluster analysis, two differen ...

Abstract:
... Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in diverse biological processes. However, these functions have not been assessed in Verticillium dahliae, a soil-borne fungal pathogen that causes devastating wilt diseases in many crops. The discovery and identity of novel lncRNAs and their association with virulence may contribute to an increased understanding of the regulation of virulence in ...

Abstract:
... The unprecedented setbacks and environmental complications, faced by global agro-farming industry, have led to the advent of nanotechnology in agriculture, which has been recognized as a novel and innovative approach in development of sustainable farming practices. The agricultural regimen is the “head honcho” of the world, however presently certain approaches have been imposing grave danger to th ...
diseasecontrol, etc ; diagnostic techniques; disease diagnosis; pathogen identification; pathogens; plant pathology; potatoes; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Because symptoms of plant diseases are often ambiguous for identifying the causal pathogen, chemical applications and cultural managements are occasionally applied against the wrong target and/or at the wrong time. Some diseases are difficult to diagnose due to latent or absent characteristic symptoms. For example, diseases caused by soil-borne pathogens may elicit aboveground symptoms that are no ...

SETTING: University Teaching Hospital. ANIMALS: Fifty‐eight dogs and 9 cats. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Medical records were retrospectively reviewed; signalment, complications associated with PPV, duration of PPV, and ...

Abstract:
... In preceding years, bioactive peptides (BAPs) have piqued escalating attention owing to their multitudinous biological features. To date, many potential BAPs exhibiting anti-cancer activities have been documented; yet, obstacles such as their safety profiles and consumer acceptance continue to exist. Moreover, BAPs have been discovered to facilitate the suppression of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (CoV ...
diseasecontrol, etc ; Tobamovirus; disease transmission; fruits; greenhouses; progeny; testa; tomatoes; virulence; viruses; Show all 10 Subjects
Abstract:
... Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV), belonging to the genus Tobamovirus, is a highly virulent emerging virus, causing disease outbreaks and significant crop losses worldwide. The growing number of ToBRFV epidemic episodes prompted the investigation of the role of seeds in the dissemination of the virus as an important aspect in the overall disease management. Therefore, the objectives of this ...
diseasecontrol, etc ; avian influenza; ducks; farms; indirect contact; probability; veterinary medicine; France; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Live animal movements generate direct contacts (via the exchange of live animals) and indirect contacts (via the transit of transport vehicles) between farms, which can contribute to the spread of pathogens. However, most analyses focus solely on direct contacts and can therefore underestimate the contribution of live animal movements in the spread of infectious diseases. Here, we used French live ...

Abstract:
... Following the principles of action research, a participatory experimentation was carried out in an agrarian reform settlement to control pest and disease with local available resources. After a collective discussion on the problems and recommending solutions by the participants, three experiments were conducted in two gardens in the settlement. The problems identified were aphid and caterpillar in ...

Abstract:
... Investigation of coffee wilt disease (CWD) caused by Gibberella xylarioides was made to determine the spatio-temporal pattern, socio-economic challenges and management practices in Berbere district between 2017 and 2018. A field and household surveys were employed for the study. The incidence and severity of CWD were varied among the study villages (p < 0.05), but not between dry and wet seasons ( ...

Abstract:
... An incursion of infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV) was detected in 2020 in southern Newfoundland, Canada. This resulted in an outbreak affecting four marine farms stocking Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) vaccinated against ISAV. This study provides the first description of epidemiologic characteristics of an ISAV outbreak in 2020 and 2021, and detected ISAV variants at the population level. F ...

Abstract:
... Synthetic pesticides are widely applied for pest and disease control in Indonesia. However, a lack of knowledge and use of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) for safe pesticide usage among Indonesian farmers remains a problem. This study aims to investigate the gap between farmers' knowledge of GAP for safe pesticide usage and their application of it. This research was conducted in 2020 in five Ind ...

Abstract:
... Infectious plant diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms, such as fungi, oomycetes, bacteria, viruses, phytoplasma, and nematodes. Plant diseases have a significant effect on the plant quality and yield and they can destroy the entire plant if they are not controlled in time. To minimize disease-related losses, it is essential to identify and control pathogens in the early stages. Plant d ...

Abstract:
... Influenza is a major preventable infectious respiratory disease. However, there is little detailed long-term evidence of its associations with PM₂.₅ among children. We examined the community-level associations between exposure to ambient PM₂.₅ and incident influenza in Guangzhou, China. We used data from the city-wide influenza surveillance system collected by Guangzhou Centre for Disease Control ...

Abstract:
... Clean water is one of the essential things in life. The running water in natural forms is considered as clean water. To avoid exposure to countless diseases, it is imperative to separate stagnant water from clean water. Thus the main objective of the proposed paper is to create an image dataset of stagnant water and wet surface to detect stagnant water. Accordingly, we considered stagnant water im ...

Abstract:
... Watermelon mosaic virus (WMV) causes serious damage to several crops worldwide, mainly cucurbits. Disease control is based on preventing spread and search for natural resistances for plant breeding, which requires tools for sensitive detection and precise quantitation.

Abstract:
... Snails that host the parasitic worm Schistosoma were once controlled or eliminated in Wuhan, China. However, safety measures associated with the outbreak of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) halted snail detection and extermination efforts. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on urban schistosomiasis transmission remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate snail density and the associ ...
