Abstract:
... Several factors associated with disease diagnosis in plants using deep learning techniques must be considered to develop a robust system for accurate disease management. A considerable number of studies have investigated the potential of deep learning techniques for precision agriculture in the last decade. However, despite the range of applications, several gaps within plant disease research are ...
... Forecasting systems are widely used to predict the application of fungicides for managing late blight. However, airborne inoculum has rarely been included in these forecasting systems. Monitoring the sporangia in crop environments may offer an opportunity to improve late blight forecast systems by integrating pathogen pressure. Hence, this experiment aiming to analyze relationships between weather ...
... Due to higher microbial activity and diversity, organic farming serves as a sustainable alternative in preventing several soil-borne plant diseases. However, there are limited studies that have shown direct relationship between soil bacterial composition and its effect on disease suppressive potential under different farming systems. Thus, the objective of the study was to understand the effect of ...

Abstract:
... Viral infections are very common, and in most cases, the virus is well controlled and eliminated by the immune system. Nevertheless, in some cases, damage of the host tissue inflicted by the virus itself or by the elicited immune response may result in severe disease courses. Thus, regulatory mechanisms are necessary to control virus‐induced and immune pathology. This ensures immune responses are ...

Abstract:
... Benefit conferred by “enhanced” influenza vaccines is often measured by relative vaccine effectiveness, (rVE), which compares disease risk among groups of people who received alternative vaccines. Differences in attenuation of illness severity by vaccine types could manifest as differences in rVE. Using a simulated VE study and cohort of adults aged ≥ 65 years, we examined how rVE varied with assu ...

Abstract:
... γδ T cells are innate cells able to quickly eliminate pathogens or infected/tumoral cells by their antiviral and adjuvancy activities. The role of γδ T cells during Dengue Viral Infection (DENV) infection is not fully elucidated. Nevertheless, human primary γδ T cells have been shown to kill in vitro DENV-infected cells, thus highlighting their possible antiviral function. The aim of this work was ...

Abstract:
... A field study was conducted to determine the effects of gall disease on yield and yield components of faba bean at Farta, Ethiopia, in 2019 and 2020. Bayleton spray and/or seed dressing, moderately resistant varieties, and intercropping as treatments were arranged in a split-split plot design with three replications. Results revealed significant (P < 0.01) differences among treatments in disease s ...

Abstract:
... Plant disease quantification, mainly the intensity of disease symptoms on individual units (severity), is the basis for a plethora of research and applied purposes in plant pathology and related disciplines. These include evaluating treatment effect, monitoring epidemics, understanding yield loss, and phenotyping for host resistance. Although sensor technology has been available to measure disease ...

Abstract:
... In the research, an improved greenhouse self-propelled precision sprayer was designed. The traditional greenhouse spraying machine mainly relies on manual or single height and level operation, but in most cases, this kind of operation method cannot fully meet the requirements of spray. To address this issue, in earlier work an optimization framework was developed, where in step one a fast and accu ...

Abstract:
... Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is among the most devastating diseases in European wheat production. In recent years, there has been increased interest in using cultivar mixtures as part of an integrated control strategy against diseases. This study investigated different cultivar mixtures for their ability to control STB across three years and at seven trial sites in Denmark with a range of fungici ...

Abstract:
... Emerging infectious diseases have resulted in severe population declines across diverse taxa. In some instances, despite attributes associated with high extinction risk, disease emergence and host declines are followed by host stabilisation for unknown reasons. While host, pathogen, and the environment are recognised as important factors that interact to determine host–pathogen coexistence, they a ...

Abstract:
... Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is a multifactorial disease with a genetic background. The association of Ladybird Homeobox 1 (LBX1) polymorphisms with IS has been proven in multiple studies. However, the epigenetic mechanisms have not been evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate the LBX1 methylation level in deep paravertebral muscles in order to analyze its association with IS occurrence and/or IS sev ...

Abstract:
... While the COVID-19 disease progresses mildly or asymptomatically in some people, its progression is severe and symptomatic in others, and it is an issue that requires a scientific response regarding the disease. The present study includes 60 people infected with COVID-19, and the cases were divided into the following groups: asymptomatic, mild, moderate, and severe. Serum Zn, Se, and Cu levels of ...

Abstract:
... Genetic testing for SMA diagnosis, newborn screening, and carrier screening has become a significant public health interest worldwide, driven largely by the development of novel and effective molecular therapies for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and the corresponding updates to testing guidelines. Concurrently, understanding of the underlying genetics of SMA and their correlation ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease that is found globally and affects most mammalian species. Vaccination of dogs against leptospirosis is an important approach to preventing clinical disease, or reducing disease severity, as well as reducing transmission of the infection to humans. Although it is generally considered to be a ‘core’ vaccine, there is limited information on the level o ...

Our objective was to evaluate whether BMI-adjusted z score (BMIaz) or BMI expressed as a percentage of the 95th percentile (%BMIp95) are better predictors of degree of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevation, a surrogate ...

Abstract:
... Seventy‐three isolates of Rhizoctonia were obtained from chickpea‐growing areas of Uşak, Kütahya, Isparta and Denizli provinces in Turkey. All the isolates were multinucleate (MN) and 50 of them showed hyphal fusion with the reference isolate of Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis group 5 (AG‐5). To confirm the identification, ITS gene regions of the isolates were sequenced with the ITS1 and ITS4 prime ...
