Abstract: Although pollinator declines are a global biodiversity threat, the demography of western honeybee ( Apis mellifera ) has not been considered by conservationists because it is biased activity beekeepers. To fill this gap in decline censuses and to provide broad picture current status honeybees across their natural range, we used microsatellite genetic markers estimate colony densities diversity at different locations Europe, Africa, central Asia that had patterns land use. Genetic...
Abstract We present a set of 18 microsatellite DNA markers that can be run in two multiplex polymerase chain reactions as standard tool for assessing molecular ecological problems honeybees ( Apis mellifera ). In addition to six unlinked loci testing classical population genetic parameters, we three sets four tightly linked loci, each located on different chromosomes. These are useful determining the number colonies well parentage drones and workers. Moreover, kit test various modes natural...
Identification of vectors is prime importance in the field medical entomology for both operational and research purposes. An external quality assessment mosquito identification capacities was carried out within MediLabSecure Network, which composed laboratories located 19 countries close to European Union around Mediterranean Black seas. A set blind samples consisting 7 or 8 adult mosquitoes 4 larvae given each participant laboratory. In all, 138 76 different species were distributed genus...
During early life, exposure to environmental toxicants, including endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA), can be detrimental the immune system. To our knowledge, a few researches have looked at effects of developing BPA exposures on spleen.The murine model was developed investigate underlying molecular mechanisms and mode actions spleen subsequent prolonged early-life BPA.Immature (3-week-old) male female Swiss Albino mice were intraperitoneally injected with 50 μg/kg in corn oil or alone for...
West Nile fever (WNF) is a mosquito-borne viral infection, circulated in natural cycles between birds and mosquitoes, particularly Culex species. It transmitted to humans through mosquito bites, causes variety of clinical outcomes, ranging from asymptomatic or mild febrile illness severe men go encepha- litis with some fatalities observed older immunocompromised patients. virus (WNV) transmission considerably influenced by environmental conditions; abundance avifauna mosquitoes.There are...
Urogenital myiasis caused by Psychoda spp. involving human are very rare and present with unusual symptoms. Larvae belonging to sp. (Diptera: Psychodidae) were found in the urogenital tract of a 9-year-old girl, who lives Tajoura, Libya, had suffered from genital pruritus moving larvae urine. This is first record such case Libya.
In Mediterranean countries, infection of Toscana virus is a public health problem during the summer season, related to sandflies activity; it may cause aseptic meningitis and mild meningoencephalitis. We investigated presence antibodies (IgG) against in sera individuals living area Yafran, Libya.During period from December 2013 February 2014, total 232 samples were collected Yefran hospital. Demographic information participants questionnaire; analyzed by serological method enzyme-linked...
Increasing evidence suggests that bisphenol A (BPA) induces liver pathological changes. Further, an association between BPA and circulating vitamin D (VitD) levels were documented.The role of VitD in BPA-induced changes was explored this study.Healthy 4.5-week-old male (n = 35) female Swiss albino mice used study. The animals randomly divided into control treated groups. groups further sham (no treatment) vehicle (corn oil), whereas the also (2195 U/kg), (50 μg/kg), + μg/kg 2195 U/kg) For 6...
Primary key pest affecting the apiculture business in many areas of globe is ecto parasite Varroa mite (Varroa destructor), recently, bee lice have become a considerable pest.In this study, parasites that infest honey bees, were investigated during spring 2013.A total 66 apiaries from different geographical regions Libya: 34 southern region, 21 north-eastern and 11 north-western region. Three colonies randomly chosen each apiary (316 colonies). From colony, 300 worker bees taken as samples,...
Background: Ticks are important medically. Twenty-five species of ticks have been recorded in Libya. No systematic studies conducted Tarhuna region regarding tick that infesting livestock. Aim: This study aimed to identify the livestock Tarhuna. Methods: The was carried out from August 2015 May 2016 Tarhuna, which is located at north-western A total 634 (349 males, 280 females, 5 nymphs) were collected 145 animals (camels, sheep and goats), examined randomly selected. Samples seasonally...
A total of 36 molluscs species were encountered along the western coast Libya between Gout alruman and Tellil. Samples collected during September October 2004 using a 25 × cm quadrate on sectorial belt. Gastropoda was most dominant class with followed by Bivalvia (10 species) one Polyplacophora. No significant differences in number molluscan recorded locations. The results showed clear variations quantity benthic animals all studied station which ranged 136 – 7276 individuals.
This study was conducted on mosquito larvae (Diptera, Culicidae) in Tarhuna, Libya during the period from January 2018 to December 2018. It aimed determine species diversity of mosquitos’ Tarhuna. Mosquito were collected by dipper 400 ml eight water locations (four permanent and four temporary locations). 4,877 collected, 3,162 aquatic 1,715 locations. Seven recorded: Culiseta longiareolata, Culex perexiguus, theileri, laticinctus, pipiens, quinquefasciatus Anopheles sergentii. Cs....
During early development, environmental compounds can induce adult onset diseases and disrupt the circulating vitamin D (VitD) levels.
There are 26 species of ticks known to exist in Libya. Despite the presence a number investigations on Libya, there no published studies Al-Qarboulli area.
We investigated honeybee populations of A. mellifera in Saharan and coastal locations Libya to fill the North Africa gap biogeography distribution honeybees, morphologically using mtDNA analysis. It was found that Libyan honeybees are different, genetically, from adjacent subspecies; majority bees (92%) belongs oriental evolutionary lineage (O). As well as, it local impact imported European honeybees. Further studies may name as a separate subspecies.
Bisphenol A (BPA), a ubiquitous plasticizer, is capable of producing oxidative splenic injury, and ultimately led to spleen pathology. Further, link between VitD levels stress was reported. Hence the role in BPA-induced injury investigated this study. Sixty male female Swiss albino mice (3.5 weeks old) were randomly divided into control treated groups 12 each (six males six females). The further sham (no treatment) vehicle (sterile corn oil), whereas treatment group (2,195 IU/kg), BPA (50...
