A questionnaire survey of animal and human health authorities in Europe revealed that leishmaniases are not notifiable all countries with autochthonous cases. Few implement surveillance control targeting both infections. Leishmaniases considered emergent diseases most countries, lack resources is a challenge for control.
Land degradation and soil erosion are becoming increasingly problematic in Africa's rapidly developing urban areas, particularly Major Port Cities. Uncontrolled expansion human pressures hindering planning, adaptation, conservation efforts. To understand the extent of these issues, this study combined morphometric analysis, loss calculation, field monitoring, remote sensing GIS tools to assess Metropolis Tangier (Morocco) located at confluence Mediterranean Sea Atlantic Ocean Strait...
Abstract The impact of climate change on future soil loss is commonly assessed with erosion models, which are suggested to be an important source uncertainty. Here, we present a novel model ensemble assess uncertainty in climate‐change assessments. consists five continuous process‐based models that run at daily time step (i.e., DHSVM, HSPF, INCA, MMF, SHETRAN). were implemented the SPHY hydrological and simulate detachment by raindrop impact, runoff, immediate deposition. was applied...
The easy implementation of a nature-based solution (NBS) to address prompt stabilisation burnt areas may be crucial in the Mediterranean forest environment. A plot scale hydrological and ecological survey was conducted pine Aspromonte Massif (southern Italy) affected by high fire severity summer 2021. response 30 rainfall event groups is analysed monitoring nine sloping plots distributed into three blocks (forested according pre-fire situation, with randomly directed felled logs manually...
Abstract. Accurate estimation of Above-Ground Biomass Density (AGBD) is essential for assessing carbon stocks and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. This study integrates multi-source remote sensing data, including GEDI LiDAR, optical, SAR, topographic variables, to predict AGBD in Mediterranean olive orchards using a Random Forest regression model implemented on Google Earth Engine (GEE). The volumetric approach, based L2A canopy height dendrometric parameters, provided more...
Leishmaniosis is associated with Phlebotomus sand fly vector density, but our knowledge of the environmental framework that regulates highly overdispersed abundance distributions limited. We used a standardized sampling procedure in bioclimatically diverse Murcia Region Spain and multilevel regression models for count data to estimate P. perniciosus relation anthropic factors. Twenty-five dog sheep premises were sampled flies using adhesive light-attraction traps, from late May early October...
The use of check dams is a common strategy to reduce soil erosion in the Mediterranean headwaters. However, effects these control works on water flow rates and sediment yields have been scarcely investigated under possible scenarios climate land-use changes. On this regard, hydrological models, such as SWAT, provide reliable predictions variable environmental conditions. To fill gap, study has evaluated effectiveness response forest headwater Calabria (Southern Italy) comparison with an...
The epidemiological cycle of zoonotic phlebotomine-borne Leishmania infantum is a complex system in which domestic animals and wildlife interact participate its maintenance transmission. In this study, we combined entomological surveillance, xenomonitoring L. identification host feeding sources engorged females to investigate the potential contribution periurban park leishmaniosis neighbouring residential areas. Overall, 7,309 sand flies were collected 111 trap-days during summers 2016-2018...
Abstract Leishmania infantum causes human and canine leishmaniosis. The parasite, transmitted by phlebotomine sand flies, infects species other than dogs people, including wildlife, although their role as reservoirs of infection remains unknown for most species. Molecular typing parasites to investigate genetic variability evolutionary proximity can help understand transmission cycles designing control strategies. We investigated DNA in kinetoplast (kDNA) internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2)...
Antibodies against Phlebotomus perniciosus sandfly salivary gland homogenate (SGH) and recombinant protein rSP03B, sandfly-borne Toscana virus (TOSV), Sandfly Fever Sicilian (SFSV) Leishmania, as well DNA of the latter parasite, were investigated in 670 blood samples from 575 human donors Murcia Region, southeast Spain, 2017 2018. The estimated SGH rSP03B seroprevalences 69% 88%, respectively, although correlation between test results was relatively low (ρ = 0.39). Similarly, TOSV, SFSV...
The easy implementation of ecologically-sound remediation measures for the prompt stabilisation burned areas may be crucial in Mediterranean forest environments. Manual situ contour redirection felled logs could aid soil erosion control and facilitate self-regeneration. In this study, a plot-scale runoff/sediment yield survey was conducted Calabria, Italy, within pine that affected by an extreme wildfire spanning over 15,000 hectares summer 2021. hydrological response to 24 rainfall events...
Abstract The spatial and temporal distribution of Phlebotomus perniciosus (Diptera: Psychodidae) (Newstead, 1911), the sand fly vector pathogens public animal health importance, was investigated in a high density rural area Spain using light‐attraction sticky‐interception traps. Traps were placed inside buildings outside at increasing distance from animals. A total 8506 flies collected, 87% with light Species frequency differed between trap types. abundance P. decreased exponentially to...
