The role and significance of wildlife-livestock interfaces in disease ecology has largely been neglected, despite recent interest in animals as origins of emerging diseases in humans. Scoping review methods were applied to objectively assess the relative interest by the scientific community in infectious diseases at interfaces between wildlife and livestock, to characterize animal species and r...

In temperate regions, seasonal epidemics of many mosquito-borne viruses are triggered when mosquito populations shift from feeding on avian to mammalian hosts. We investigated effects of temperature on the timing of bird-to-mammal shifts using an 8 year dataset of blood-meals from a mosquito (Culex erraticus) in Alabama, USA. As expected, Cx. erraticus shifted from avian to mammalian hosts each...

cercarial dermatitis or swimmers’ itch is an itchy inflammatory response to the penetration of the skin by non-human schistosome parasites. in the hot season, may to september, in khuzestan province in the south west of iran, swimming in canals and agriculture activities in swampy areas are common. this survey was made on people from villages north of ahwaz city in south west iran, to estimate ...

The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003 indicated that China's existing former mechanism for emergency management was very vulnerable. The Chinese Government has since established a new mechanism for responding to emerging communicable diseases. This paper examined the current status of and developments in China's response to emerging communicable diseases from the outb...

The emergence of several high profile infectious diseases in recent years has focused attention on our need to understand the ecological factors contributing to the spread of infectious diseases. West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne zoonotic disease that was first detected in the United States in 1999. The factors accounting for variation in the prevalence of WNV are poorly understood, but...

khuzestan province in the south west of iran having several seasonal and permanent lagoons which are shelter for domestic and migratory birds including, fish-eating birds. this research study was carried out to find the intestinal helminth parasites of birds in this ecosystem and evaluation of their medically importance with emphasis on heterophyid trematodes. for these reasons, the total of 37...

background: to determine the morphological specifications of the bird schistosomes cercaria from lymnaea gedrosiana and to detect the surface carbohydrates as receptors for host lectins in the host-parasite relationship systems such as avian schistosomiasis and human cercarial dermatitis. methods: one hundred ninety two snails collected from dezful areas in khuzestan province, in the south west...

Radiol Bras. 2016 Mar/Abr;49(2):VII–VIII Hypersensitivity pneumonitis encompasses a set of diseases with pulmonary involvement and a predominance of histopathologic findings—lymphocytic inflammatory infiltrate, noncaseating granulomas, and foci of bronchiolitis obliterans, as well as fibrosis in the more chronic stages—predominantly distributed around the small airways, as shown in the excellen...

This study was performed  in second half of year 2009.For bird counting , monthly from Septamber until March 2009. Total counted birds in Maroon lake were (971). Maximum number of counted birds was in February  (191) and minimum of counted was in Septamber (95). Total counted birds in Jaizan were (385. Maximum number of the counted bird was in February (84) and minimum of counted (52) was in Ja...

In today’s world life the use of robot is going on increasing .Robot can able to carry work efficiently and effectively that man can do. In this paper one such application of robo can do is leaf diseases Detection. In this paper we review the need of simple plant leaves diseases detection system. that would facilitate advancements in agriculture through by using the Firebird V Robo up to the ra...
