Tick-borne diseases have become a growing public health concern globally. As climate change reshapes the environment, tick populations are expected to expand into previously unsuitable areas, further increasing human exposure ticks and pathogens they transmit. Understanding environmental factors that sustain is crucial for enhancing prevention control measures. This study presents multi-process structured population model simulates nymph activity, development, diapause in response...
Sarcoptic mange of sheep is a skin disease which compromises the health and welfare animals, impacts their productivity zoonotic. In Europe, sarcoptic appears to be prevailing type affecting kept for milk production in Mediterranean countries. Eprinomectin 5 mg/mL topical solution (EPRINEX® Multi, Boehringer Ingelheim) was recently authorized treatment gastrointestinal pulmonary nematodes Oestrus ovis with zero hours withdrawal several countries Europe. As product cattle has claims against...
The aim of the study was to compare in vivo anthelmintic activity sainfoin hay (Onobrychis viciifolia) and carob pod meal (Ceratonia siliqua) against gastrointestinal nematodes. Seven days before infection, 64 naive lambs were assigned four different groups: Group S received group CAR fed with pods. remaining lucerne (Medicago sativa) positive (non-treated, NT) negative (treated, T) control groups (treatment albendazole). On day 0, artificially trickle infected for 6 weeks, a mixture...
Phlebotomine sandflies are vectors of the humans’ and mammals’ parasite Leishmania spp. Although role gut microbiome in biological cycle insects is acknowledged, we still know little about factors modulating composition microbiota sandflies. We tested whether host species impose a strong structural effect on Phlebotomus Sandflies were collected from island Leros, Greece, classified to P. papatasi, neglectus, tobbi, similis, all being negative The prokaryotic was determined via 16S rRNA gene...
Ixodes ricinus ticks are widespread in Europe and important vectors for multiple pathogens. The purpose of the study was to collect a mountainous area Greece screen those I. species several predominant tick identified (398/440, 90.45%). Following pooling (1-17 per pool), homogenization extraction genetic material ticks, real time PCR applied detection panel tick-borne pathogens, while additional conventional PCRs combined with Sanger sequencing were viruses typing Rickettsia Borrelia...
Abstract Background The impacts of climate change on crop and livestock sectors are well-documented. Climate its related events (e.g., high temperatures, extreme events, disease outbreaks) affect production in various ways nutrition, housing, health, welfare), tend to compromise the physical productivity economic performances. Understanding animal responses may help planning strategies cope with adverse climatic conditions also reduce polluting emissions. Through an interdisciplinary...
Gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) severely affect small ruminant production worldwide. Increasing problems of anthelmintic resistance have given strong impetus to the search for alternative strategies control GIN. Selection animals with an enhanced GIN has been shown be successful in sheep. In goats, corresponding information is comparatively poor. Therefore, present study was designed provide reliable data on heritabilities and genetic correlations between phenotypic traits linked milk yield...
The recent spread of invasive mosquito species, such as Aedes albopictus and the seasonal sporadic transmission autochthonous cases arboviral diseases (e.g., dengue, chikungunya, Zika) in temperate areas, Europe North America, highlight importance effective mosquito-control interventions to reduce not only nuisance, but also major threats for public health. Local, regional, even national control programs have been established many countries are executed on a basis by either or private...
The hangover gene defines a cellular stress pathway that is required for rapid ethanol tolerance in Drosophila melanogaster. To understand how changes neuronal function, we analyzed Hangover function on and level. We provide evidence acts as nuclear RNA binding protein identified the phosphodiesterase 4d ortholog dunce target RNA. generated transcript-specific mutant impaired not only but also response. At level, Dunce are same neuron pair to regulate experience-dependent motor output....
