Abstract:
... International cruises have drawn worldwide attention since the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19). This article first examines the legal issues, challenges and impact of the pandemic on large cruise ships, like the Diamond Princess, and then probes into corresponding pandemic preventive measures which port states employ. A State is obliged under the International Health Regulations 2005 (IHR) to g ...

Abstract:
... Slide‐mounting is mandatory for accurate morphological identification of mealybug species (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae). A typical slide‐mounting process is performed in laboratory settings and requires several tedious and technical steps that can take up to 2 hr. Moreover, most of the taxonomic literature on mealybugs is based on adult females, whereas it can be difficult to find adult females in g ...

Abstract:
... Rapid and sensitive assays for the identification of plant pathogens are necessary for the effective management of crop diseases. The main limitation of current diagnostic testing is the inability to combine broad and sensitive pathogen detection with the identification of key strains, pathovars, and subspecies. Such discrimination is necessary for quarantine pathogens, whose management is strictl ...

Abstract:
... Rapid and safe access to new plant genetic stocks is crucial for primary plant industries to remain profitable, sustainable, and internationally competitive. Imported plant species may spend several years in Post Entry Quarantine (PEQ) facilities, undergoing pathogen testing which can impact the ability of plant industries to quickly adapt to new global market opportunities by accessing new variet ...

Abstract:
... Grass Carp Reovirus (GCRV) causes serious hemorrhagic disease in fingerling and yearling grass carp and is listed as a Class II animal disease by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China. To clarify the epidemic characteristics of GCRV in China, this study monitored grass carp hemorrhagic disease in China from 2017 to 2020. A total of 108 farms were positive for GCRV, accounting for ...

Abstract:
... Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina is the causal agent of bacterial blight of hazelnut. The bacterium has been listed as an A2 quarantine pathogen in Europe since 1978 and on the regulated non-quarantine pest list since 2019. Three isolates from various geographic regions and isolated at different times were sequenced using a hybrid approach with short- and long-read technologies to generate clos ...

Abstract:
... Animal shelters have been found to represent stressful environments for pet dogs, both affecting behavior and influencing welfare. The current COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light new uncertainties in animal sheltering practices which may affect shelter dog behavior in unexpected ways. To evaluate this, we analyzed changes in dog activity levels before COVID-19 and during COVID-19 using an autom ...

... This review aims to update the knowledge of the epidemiology of Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) in Indonesia and Southeast Asia and provide a perspective on the control options for BVDV in the Indonesian cattle population in the future. Studies on BVDV in Indonesia, since its first report in that country, and the updated beef and dairy cattle industries are reviewed. In ten of 34 provinces, BV ...

Abstract:
... The current situation of COVID-19 highlights the paramount importance of infectious disease surveillance, which necessitates early monitoring for effective response. Policymakers are interested in data insights identifying high-risk areas as well as individuals to be quarantined, especially as the public gets back to their normal routine. We investigate both requirements by the implementation of d ...

Abstract:
... Downy mildew pathogens of graminicolous hosts (Poaceae) are members of eight phylogenetically diverse genera in the Peronosporaceae (Oomycota, Peronosporales). Graminicolous downy mildews cause severe losses to crops such as maize, millets, sorghum, and sugarcane in many parts of the world, especially in tropical climates. In countries where the most destructive GDMs are not endemic, these organis ...

Abstract:
... Kudzu is a rapidly growing ornamental vine, which continues to invade forests and other natural ecosystems in many parts of the United States including the state of Oklahoma. Effective quarantine regulations and their strict enforcement can help prevent invasive species from spreading, but public awareness, support, and early detection are keys for long-term success. The goal of this study is to u ...
... Citrus stubborn was initially observed in California in 1915 and was later proven as a graft-transmissible disease in 1942. In the field, diseased citrus trees have compressed and stunted appearances, and yield poor-quality fruits with little market value. The disease is caused by Spiroplasma citri, a phloem-restricted pathogenic mollicute, which belongs to the Spiroplasmataceae family (Mollicutes ...

Abstract:
... It’s urgently needed to assess the COVID-19 epidemic under the “dynamic zero-COVID policy” in China, which provides a scientific basis for evaluating the effectiveness of this strategy in COVID-19 control. Here, we developed a time-dependent susceptible-exposed-asymptomatic-infected-quarantined-removed (SEAIQR) model with stage-specific interventions based on recent Shanghai epidemic data, conside ...

Abstract:
... Frequent international trade has accelerated alien species invasion. However, data on the distribution of invasive species after their introduction and research on the factors that determine their geographical distribution are lacking. This study analyzed the distributional trends of invasive species in China and the drivers for such trends, by identifying the effect of international trade from a ...
... During the early months of 2020, the world experienced a novel, violent, and relentless pandemic era. By the end of the year more than seventy-seven million cases of COVID-19 had been reported around the globe. Due to it being a highly contagious disease, the recommended measures adopted by most nations to prevent infection include social distancing and quarantine. How did these measures affect pe ...

Abstract:
... Though quarantine is a pertinent control measure for the spread of COVID-19, it is equally important to consider its negative impacts, as it causes severe psychological, emotional, and financial problems not only for those who are quarantined but also for many others who are directly or indirectly connected to those who are quarantined. There appears to be a need to synthesise the available litera ...
... The considerable economic losses in citrus associated with ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’ and ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma’ presence have alerted all producing regions of the world. In Chile, none of these bacteria have been reported in citrus species. During the years 2017 and 2019, 258 samples presenting symptoms similar to those associated with the presence of these bacteria were examined. No detection o ...
... The quarantines caused by the Covid-19, generated that thousands of university students had to abruptly abandon their classroom classes, and receive them in a virtual way. This sudden change caused a break in the daily life of thousands of university students, who were forced to use a teaching method that, although not new, was unusual at that time. This, initially generated a situation of rejecti ...

Abstract:
... The honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos) is one of the most aggressive tree invaders of savannas and grasslands worldwide. The objective of the study was to determine whether landscape elements could act as potential determinants on honey locust invasion of woodlots of an agricultural matrix of the Pampean ecoregion. Specifically, we assessed the effect of distance to the previously established wo ...

... During the recent COVID-19 related quarantine period, anecdotal evidence emerged pointing to a rapid, sharp improvement in water quality in some localities. Here we present results from an analysis of the impacts of the COVID-19 quarantine period using two long-term coastal water quality datasets. These datasets rely on sampling that operates at appropriate timescales to quantify the influence of ...
