PAR-WIG Performance Prediction During Acceleration from Water-borne to Air-borne.

Parasitic food-borne and water-borne zoonoses.

Estimates suggest that almost half of the population of the world is affected by water-borne and food-borne infections. Parasitic food-borne and water-borne zoonoses contribute to this statistic by inflicting a heavy toll on human health and causing serious direct and indirect losses to the agricultural industry. The inability of non-industrialised countries to keep pace with population growth,...

Air-Borne Infection

Grasses suppress shoot-borne roots to conserve water during drought.

Many important crops are members of the Poaceae family, which develop root systems characterized by a high degree of root initiation from the belowground basal nodes of the shoot, termed the crown. Although this postembryonic shoot-borne root system represents the major conduit for water uptake, little is known about the effect of water availability on its development. Here we demonstrate that ...

Molecular identification of food-borne and water-borne protozoa.

Cryptosporidium and Giardia can be transmitted to humans by contaminated food and water, resulting in large outbreaks of diarrheal disease. Sensitive methods for detecting these parasites are needed to control and prevent infection. However, this issue is complicated by the fact that there is still uncertainty about the role played by different species/genotypes with respect to human disease. W...
