Genetic Improvements to the Sterile Insect Technique for Agricultural Pests [PDF]

, 2010
The sterile insect technique (SIT) relies on area-wide mass-releases of sterile male pest insects, which mate with their wild counterparts and thereby cause a drop in the wild population.

STERILE INSECT TECHNIQUE TO COMBAT DENGUE

LIFE: International Journal of Health and Life-Sciences, 2016
Global warming and globalization indicate the next biggest challenge is zoonotic diseases. Dengue is one of the fastest growing tropical pandemic in the world. There are no approved vaccines for the dengue virus. Prevention thus depends on control of and protection from the bites of the mosquito that transmits it, the dengue mosquito, and Aedes aegypti.

Larvae of the Solitary Bee Epicharis bicolor Are a Rich Source of Yeasts, Including Four Novel Species of the Genera Starmerella, Wickerhamiella and Zygoascus

Yeast, EarlyView.
Four novel yeast species are described associated with larvae of the ground‐nesting solitary bee Epicharis bicolor in Brazil. These yeasts are described based on sequencing of the ITS‐5.8S region and D1/D2 domains of the large subunit of the rRNA gene and phylogenomic analyses.

Mathematical modelling for practical application of sterile insect technique [PDF]

, 2019
Vector control, like sterile insect technique (SIT), is essential to reduce the risk of vector-borne diseases [3]. SIT control generally consists of massive releases of sterile insects in the targeted area in order to reach elimination or to lower the ...

Facing Truths About Population Management

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Populations of wildlife, and domestic animals have large sinks for surplus animals. By contrast, zoos don't. Humans in industrialized societies are socialized with companion animals, i.e. surplus (i.e., typically denied reproduction) originating from unseen breeding cores.

The Scoop on Honey Badger Poop: Validation of a Non‐Invasive Method for Assessing Physiological Responses in Captivity

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Captive honey badgers (Mellivora capensis) are routinely exposed to environmental and husbandry‐related stressors that differ markedly from their natural conditions; however, physiological welfare assessments in this species remain limited. This study aimed to validate a non‐invasive approach to evaluate stress‐related fecal glucocorticoid ...

“Women of the Happy Life”: Prostitution, Public Morality, and Venereal Disease in US‐Occupied Nicaragua, 1912–33

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the years of the US occupation (1912–33), Nicaragua's government legally regulated prostitution. Convinced of their objectives to protect society's moral and public health, politicians embarked on a long struggle to apprehend, quarantine, and segregate female prostitutes nationwide.

Effects of bleach on carcass postmortem microbiomes and necrophagous beetle carcass attendance and their internal microbiomes

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Forensic entomology, and potentially microbiology in the future, can be used during death investigations to corroborate an estimated time since death. Instances where products are introduced to a cadaver, either in attempt to conceal or by accident, can affect decomposition and succession of associated decomposer taxa (i.e., insects and ...
