The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

FEEDING AND RESTING PATTERN OF MALARIA VECTORS IN THREE COMMUNITIES FROM SOUTHEAST NIGERIA
The BioscientistAccurate knowledge of the feeding and resting time of malaria vectors is very crucial for malaria management, hence a 12-month longitudinal study was done to tackle the challenge of transmission of mosquito-borne diseases.

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.The samples were fungicidal against Candida, with MICs ranging from 62.5 to 250 μg/mL, and fungistatic against Penicillium adametzii, Aspergillus flavus and A. niger, with MICs of 1000 μg/mL. The volatile oils of Piper aduncum and Piper marginatum reduced the viability of MDA‐MB231 cells.

A review on malaria eradication: what hope for Nigeria?
Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2016 Malaria and its transmitting vectors are household names. Malaria which helped Africa from the venomous fangs of colonialism has turned to be the bane of development in tropical countries including Nigeria.

A set of ontologies to drive tools for the control of vector-borne diseases [PDF]
, 2009 We are developing a set of ontologies that deal with vector-borne diseases and the arthropod vectors that transmit them. For practical reasons (application priorities), we initiated this project with an ontology of insecticide resistance followed by a ...

Malaria vector control in South Africa
South African Medical Journal, 2013 Malaria vector control is primarily insecticide based and relies on indoor residual spraying (IRS) and the distribution of long-lasting insecticide-treated bednets (LLINs). These interventions have generally proved effective where appropriately implemented.
