The lack of available vaccines and consistent sporadic transmission WNV justify the need for mosquito vector control prediction their geographic distribution. However, distribution is dependent on ecological requirements, which vary from one place to another. Presence/density data two vectors, Culex nigripalpus Cx. quinquefasciatus, was extracted within 5 km buffer zones around seropositive records sentinel chickens in order delineate predicting variables model habitat suitability probable...
Bone damage in laying hens remains a significant welfare concern the egg industry. Breeding companies rely on selective cross-breeding of purebred birds to produce commercial hybrids, which farmers raise for table-egg production. Genomic prediction is potential tool improve bone quality hens. Because layers are crossbred and kept different environments than pure lines, question arises whether use within-line selection or data. While based line data common, achieving optimal strength hybrids...
Background The mosquito, Culex tritaeniorhynchus Giles is a prevalent and confirmed Rift Valley Fever virus (RVFV) vector. This vector, in association with Aedimorphus arabiensis (Patton), was responsible for causing the outbreak of 2000 Jazan Province, Saudi Arabia. Methodology/Principal Findings Larval occurrence records total 19 bioclimatic three topographic layers imported from Worldclim Database were used to predict larval suitable breeding habitats this vector Province using ArcGIS...
The consistent sporadic transmission of West Nile Virus (WNV) in the city New Orleans justifies need for distribution risk maps highlighting human mosquito bites. We modeled influence biophysical and socioeconomic metrics on spatio-temporal distributions presence/vector-host contact (VHC) ratios WNV vector, Culex quinquefasciatus, within their flight range. Biophysical data were extracted 5-km buffer radii around sampling localities gravid female quinquefasciatus. correlations between VHC 33...
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia includes fauna from three zoogeographic regions: the Afrotropical, Oriental, and Palaearctic regions. To study mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) these regions in Arabia, larval collections were made at 15 sites during 2005–2006. Thirty-three species representing nine genera found. Six species, Anopheles culicifacies Giles s.l., subpictus Grassi Culex arbieeni Salem, simpsoni Theobald, univittatus Ochlerotatus detritus Haliday are reported for first time Arabia. An...
Abstract Pollen identification is necessary for several subfields of geology, ecology, and evolutionary biology. However, the existing methods pollen are laborious, time-consuming, require highly skilled scientists. Therefore, there a pressing need an automated accurate system identification, which can be beneficial both basic research applied issues such as identifying airborne allergens. In this study, we propose deep learning (DL) approach to classify grains in Great Basin Desert, Nevada,...
This study was designed to evaluate the oxidative damage, genotoxicity, and DNA damage in liver of rats treated with titanium nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) an average size 28.0 nm ξ-potential - 33.97 mV, estimate protective role holy basil essential oil nanoemulsion (HBEON). Six groups Male Sprague-Dawley were orally for 3 weeks as follows: control group, HBEO or HBEON-treated (5 mg/kg b.w), TiO2-NPs-treated group (50 TiO2-NPs plus HBEON. Samples blood tissues collected different analyses. The...
Abstract Many species distribution maps indicate the ranges of Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) and albopictus (Skuse) overlap in Florida despite well-documented range reduction Ae. aegypti. Within last 30 yr, competitive displacement by has resulted partial spatial segregation two species, with persisting primarily urban refugia. We modeled fine-scale distributions both goal capturing outcome interspecific competition across space building habitat suitability maps. empirically parameterized models...
Thirty‐three species of mosquitoes have been reported from the Kingdom Saudi Arabia. Several these mosquitoes, Anopheles gambiae Giles s.l., stephensi Liston, Culex pipiens Linnaeus, quinquefasciatus Say, tritaeniorhynchus Giles, Stegomyia aegypti (Linnaeus) and Aedimorphus vexans arabiensis (Patton) are known vectors human animal diseases. In this study, cuticular hydrocarbon profiles eight mosquito using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry were analyzed. Wild collected fourth‐instar...
Mosquito vectors of eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) and West Nile (WNV) in the USA reside within broad multi-species assemblages that vary spatial temporal composition, relative abundances vector competence. These variations impact risk pathogen transmission operational management these species by local public health control districts. However, most models mosquito dynamics focus on single do not account for co-occurrence probabilities between pairs across environmental gradients....
Myiasis caused by Calliphorid and Oestrid flies constitute a major threat to the development of livestock industry in Kingdom Saudi Arabia. Increased veterinary concerns recently paid frequent reports on enteric pathogens larvae these flies. Although importance sheep goats Arabia, geographic distribution limits infestation caprine has never been highlighted. ArcGIS software was used assess spatial myiasis causing Jazan Province, Implemented Evolutionary algorithms maximum entropy (MaxEnt)...
Batesian mimicry (BM), where a nontoxic species resembles toxic with aposematic coloring, has been recently described for Neotropical of the suboscine passerine (Laniocera hypopyrra). Understanding order and series in which these characteristics evolved is unknown requires character information from closely related taxa. Here, we trace origin mimetic traits how they by examining antipredator using images other field-collected trait data nest nestlings along available literature Laniisominae...
Understanding short-range cues (e.g., host odorants, heat, moisture) of host-seeking female Aedes aegypti L. is very important for attempts to reduce mosquito bites, complement current control strategies, and develop potential spatial repellents. We investigated behavior under semi-field conditions utilizing a new portable uni-port taxis box with caged chicken host. The combined influences airflow regimes (0, 1.5, 3, 5, 6 m/s), distance from odor (10, 50, 100 cm), host-odor confinement...
T hIs study aimed to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Chenopodium murale extract (CME), evaluate the antioxidant activity of essential oil (CMEO) and protective role against nephrotoxicity AgNPs.seven groups female sprague-Dawley rats were treated orally for 21 days included control group, AgNPstreated (25 or 50 mg/kg b.w), CMEO-treated (0.5 1 b.w) AgNPs plus groups.The synthesized 30-50 nm in size.CMEO is rich total phenolic flavoniods showed high radicals scavenging...
