Species identification of adult ixodid ticks by Raman spectroscopy of their feces

Parasites & Vectors
Background Ticks and tick-borne diseases pose significant challenges to cattle production, thus the species identification of ticks and knowledge on their presence, abundance, and dispersal are necessary for the development of effective control measures.

Pasa assay for diagnosing insecticide resistance in the horn fly population in Rondônia. [PDF]

, 2012
Kockdown (kdr) resistance in field populations of horn f1ies can severely limit pyrethroid's usefulness in fly control programs. Early detection and characterization of kdr resistance are critical to the development of resistance management strategies ...

Register‐Efficient Linear‐Time Evaluation in the Bernstein Basis

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigate the evaluation of points and derivatives of Bézier curves and surfaces on modern architectures, focusing on performance and guided by numerical error bounds. While the de Casteljau algorithm remains the reference for numerical robustness, its linear working‐set size imposes substantial register pressure on GPUs.

Limited elephant impacts on baobabs despite increasing elephant densities in a newly established protected area

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Researchers combined aerial and ground surveys to map baobab distribution and assess elephant herbivory impacts on baobabs across Karingani Game Reserve, Mozambique. Researchers found that aerial surveys were an effective tool for mapping baobabs and that baobabs were more likely to occur closer to permanent water, at lower elevations, and in areas ...

A Fly in the Ointment? Non‐Target Fly Pest Benefits From Reduction in Ivermectin During Targeted Selective Treatment

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Targeted Selective Treatment (TST) can reduce the rate of resistance development in livestock gastrointestinal nematodes but can also reduce the effects of anthelmintics on non‐target organisms. Most studies of non‐target anthelmintic effects focus on beneficial species.

The Fly Buster. A Combination Mineral Feeder/Spray Device for the Control of the Horn Fly and The Face Fly on Pastured Cattle [PDF]

, 1986
A combination mineral feeder/spray device was evaluated as a different approach for the suppression of horn and face flies under range conditions in east central South Dakota during the 1985 season. Ravap, Ectrin and Ciovap were applied at the rates of 1.

Epidermoid cyst as differential diagnosis for spherical keratoma: What do we know?

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary This article briefly presents the case of a space‐occupying coronary band mass that raised the question of how one can differentiate between two uncommonly seen but now commonly paired differential diagnoses and prompted a review of the relevant literature.

Mechanisms of pyrethroid resistance in Haematobia irritans (Muscidae) from Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil Mecanismos de resistência da Haematobia irritans (Muscidae) a piretróides em Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2013
Horn fly resistance to pyrethroid insecticides occurs throughout Brazil, but knowledge about the involved mechanisms is still in an incipient stage. This survey was aimed to identify the mechanisms of horn fly resistance to cypermethrin in Mato Grosso do

Melusine, Emblem of the Self: The Female Traveler and the Contours of Acceptable Difference

The German Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Though the foreign roots of Volksbücher such as Thüring von Ringoltingen's Melusine (1457) have long been recognized, these early modern German prose novels are still characterized as insular and folksy. Taking Melusine as an example, this article uses the framework of mobility to offer a new interpretation that posits the Volksbuch as an ...
