During an outbreak of leptospirosis in northeastern Thailand, 148 patients with serologically diagnosed leptospirosis were seen in Loei Hospital. The clinical features were consistent with those described for the classic manifestation of the disease. However, hypotension was a common finding: noted in 94 patients (64%) upon admission or early in the course of the disease. Of these hypotensive p...

Surveys were carried out in 2003-2006 to better understand the epidemiology of hantaviruses in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China (Inner Mongolia). Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) was first reported in this region in 1955 and has been an important public health problem here since then. During 1955-2006, 8,309 persons with HFRS were reported in Inner Mongolia (average inc...

The February 21, 2008, Wells earthquake (MW=6.0) occurred in a region of northeastern Nevada where the seismicity has historically been low relative to western Nevada. In a region of area of approximately10 5 km 2 of northeastern Nevada, based rates of smaller earthquakes in the region prior to 2008, earthquakes of MW=6.0 or larger are expected with a rate of about 0.01 per year. The probabilit...

We provide the first annotated checklist of ophiuroids from the continental shelf of the State of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil. Identification keys and taxonomic diagnoses for 23 species, belonging to 14 genera and 8 families, are provided. The material is deposited in the Invertebrate Collection Paulo Young, at the Federal University of Paraíba. Ophiopsila hartmeyeri represents the first recor...

Water masses of different temperature and salinity partially govern the distributions of chlorophyll concentration. In the present paper, chlorophyll concentration has been deduced over the northeastern Arabian Sea and the southern Bay of Bengal using Ocean Color Monitor (OCM) data onboard Indian Remote Sensing Series Polar satellite (IRS-P4). The chlorophyll concentration is found to be higher...

We examined the population genetic structure of an extremely successful invasive wasp, Polistes dominulus. Although successful biological invasions of social insects have been associated with genetic bottlenecks, our research uncovered an unexpected level of genetic diversity in the northeastern U.S. invasion population. Compared with a previously studied European sample, the northeastern U.S. ...
