Vaccinations of International Travellers From Greece to Sub-Saharan Africa

Introduction: The number of travellers from Greece who travel to sub-Saharan Africa has increased during the last decade. Our aim in this research was to study vaccination patterns for travellers travelling to sub-Saharan Africa.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2011 until December 2014 in all (57) public health departments in Gr...

Resistance to Soybean Aphid in Early Maturing Soybean Germplasm

yellow, and even drop. Other symptoms of direct feeding damage include plant stunting, poor pod fill, reduced Since 2000, the soybean aphid (Aphis glycines Matsumura) has pod and seed counts, smaller seed size, and nutrient become a major pest of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in North America. In the USA, there are currently no commercial soybean deficiencies resulting in overall yield and q...

phylogeography and genetic diversity of the lesser mouse- eared bat (myotis blythii) in iran

in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...

Twin-singleton early-life survival in sub-Saharan Africa.

One in five twins born in sub-Saharan Africa dies before age 5 years, and this estimate is likely to be conservative. This is the important message from Christiaan Monden and Jeroen Smits on the basis of their pooled analysis of 90 Demographic and Health Surveys for 30 sub-Saharan African countries taken between 1995 and 2014. The under-5 mortality is three times higher among twins than among s...
