We often are unable to reduce wildlife damage because of our inability to apply a repellent directly to the plant, animal, or item that needs protection. Conditioned food aversions based on deception (CFABD) is one method that can be used to extend protection to these items (hereafter called models). In CFABD, the model is not treated; instead mimics of the model are created and then treated wi...

BACKGROUND Snake bite is an important occupational and rural hazard because India has always been a land of Exotic snakes. In Maharashtra, common poisonous snakes are Cobra, Russell's Viper, Saw Scaled Viper, and Krait. It is a fact that inspite of heavy morbidity and mortality, very little attention is paid by the clinicians to this occupational hazard. AIMS To study the prevalence of poison...

Snake bites are frequently reported in both rural and suburban areas worldwide (1). They are especially common in areas with climate and ecological conditions suitable for poisonous snake species. Among the victims of poisonous snakebites, lactating women are no exception. In such cases, one of the most important questions facing a clinical toxicologist is ‘when can a lactating patient restart ...

Animal toxin envenomations have medical as well as ecological significance. Toxin-producing animals are categorized under either venomous group or poisonous group. Venomous animals are capable of producing and delivering the toxin during a biting or stinging act whereas poisonous animals are those whose tissues, either in whole or in part, are toxic. [1] About 75% of the world’s animal species ...

This paper deals with the use of high Performance Thin layer Chromatography with sensitive spray reagents for detection and identification of poisonous plants in autopsy tissues. This laboratory has received human as well as cattle cases with history of death due to ingestion of poisonous plant material in various forms. There can be legal quarries regarding detection and identification of thes...

The wireless sensor network is used to simulate poisonous gas generating system in the Fire-Fighting Simulated Training System. In the paper, we use the wireless signal to simulate the poisonous gas source and use received signal strength indicator (RSSI) to simulate the distance between the fireman and the gas source. The gas detection instrument samples the temperature and sphygmus of the tra...

Many factors determine whether animals are poisoned by plants including the quantity and rate of the plant eaten; the stage of growth of the plant; the growing conditions of the plant; and whether or not the plants have been fertilized or treated with herbicides. The species of the animal, age, sex and general body condition of the animal also determine the outcome of plant poisoning. Lastly th...
