Molecular Xenomonitoring Using Mosquitoes to Map Lymphatic Filariasis after Mass Drug Administration in American Samoa

BACKGROUND Mass drug administration (MDA) programs have dramatically reduced lymphatic filariasis (LF) incidence in many areas around the globe, including American Samoa. As infection rates decline and MDA programs end, efficient and sensitive methods for detecting infections are needed to monitor for recrudescence. Molecular methods, collectively termed 'molecular xenomonitoring,' can identify...

Incidence and Distribution of Banana Bunchy Top Virus in American Samoa

Banana Bunchy Top Virus (BBTV) was first reported in American Samoa in 1967. The incidence and distribution of disease, however, had never been established. In March 1999, five survey teams visually inspected approximately 30,000 banana mats at 20 villages and 10 commercial farms on the main island of Tutuila. Ten thousand mats were inspected on four other islands in the territory. The virus wa...

Nitrogen- versus phosphorus-limited growth and sources of nutrients for coral reef macroalgae

Recent investigations of nutrient-limited productivity in coral reef macroalgae have led to the conclusion that phosphorus, rather than nitrogen, is the primary limiting nutrient. In this study, comparison of the dissolved inorganic nitrogen:phosphorus ratio in the water column of Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, with tissue nitrogen:phosphorus ratios in macroalgae from Kaneohe Bay suggested that nitrogen,...

Oyster and Macroalgae Bioindicators Detect Elevated δN in Maryland’s Coastal Bays

Nitrogen loading from anthropogenic sources, including fertilizer, manure, and sewage effluents, has been linked with declining water quality in coastal lagoons worldwide. Freshwater inputs to mid-Atlantic coastal lagoons of the USA are from terrestrially influenced sources: groundwater and overland flow via streams and agricultural ditches, with occasional precipitation events. Stable nitrogen...
