BACKGROUND We conducted spatial analyses to determine the geographic variation of cancer at the neighbourhood level (dissemination areas or DAs) within the area of a single Ontario public health unit, Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph, covering a population of 238,326 inhabitants. Cancer incidence data between 1999 and 2003 were obtained from the Ontario Cancer Registry and were geocoded down to the l...

Clostridium difficile and enterotoxigenic C. perfringens are significant causes of enterocolitis in horses. Based on detection of specific clostridial toxins in fecal samples, C. difficile was associated with 22% and 17% of cases of colitis in adult horses and foals, respectively. Enterotoxigenic C. perfringens was associated with 19% and 29% of cases in adult horses and foals. Incorporation of...

M. A. Wirth, D. Nikitenko, J. Lyon University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada Synopsis The interpretation of Magnetic Resonance (MR) images of the breast involves detecting changes between corresponding images. Since the breast is an intrinsically nonrigid structure, changes in breast positioning, patient movement and associated thoracic motion may contribute to spatial differences between a...

An interview with Nigel Raine, researcher at the University of Guelph, Canada on the behaviour and ecology of bees, and the impacts of environmental stressors on pollinator populations.

Agricultural activity has always included adaptation to a number of diverse stresses and opportunities–elements that continue influencing developments in the agri-food sector. Climate and weather conditions are a good example of factors that require on-going adaptation. With climate change they take on even more significance. Based on data from Canadian producers, this article identifies severa...
