Livestock production is an important contributor to sustainable food security for many nations, particularly in low-income areas and marginal habitats that are unsuitable crop production. Animal products account approximately one-third of global human protein consumption. Here, a range indicators, derived from FAOSTAT World Bank statistics, used model the relative vulnerability nations at scale predicted climate population changes, which likely impact on their use grazing livestock food....
Recent changes in the distribution of tick vectors and incidence tick-borne disease, driven variously by factors such as climate change, habitat modification, increasing host abundance increased movement people animals, highlight importance ongoing, active surveillance. This paper documents results a large-scale survey on dogs presented to veterinary practices UK, using participatory approach that allows relatively cost- time-effective extensive data collection. Over period 16 weeks...
Fleas (Siphonaptera) are the most clinically important ectoparasites of dogs and cats worldwide. Rising levels pet ownership, climate change globalisation increasing importance a detailed understanding endemicity prevalence flea-borne pathogens. This requires continued surveillance to detect change. study reports large-scale survey pathogens in fleas collected from client-owned UK. Recruited veterinary practices were asked follow standardised flea inspection protocol on randomised selection...
Abstract. The literature relating to the attraction of sheep blowflies Lucilia sericata and cuprina their ovine hosts is reviewed. responses two species are similar different components behaviour leading host location oviposition appear involve at least distinct sets semiochemical cues. Activation, upwind orientation landing occur in response putrefactive sulphur‐rich volatiles, originating from bacterial decomposition products. Oviposition elicited primarily by presence ammonia‐rich...
Abstract The effects of ambient temperature on all component life cycle stages the sheep blowfly Lucilia sericata Meigen were examined under controlled conditions. critical base temperatures and number day-degrees required for completion each stage determined. Using these data a simple simulation model was developed to evaluate seasonal pattern L. abundance. flies estimated by be available capture, together with over capture period determining adult activity levels, able account 77% variance...
The prevalence of psoroptic mange (sheep scab), louse infestation and blowfly strike in sheep Great Britain between March 2003 February 2004 was investigated by means a retrospective postal survey, stratified region. Of the 3530 questionnaires sent out, 1067 were returned completed, response rate 30.2 per cent. Overall, 9 cent farmers reported at least one outbreak scab, 10.7 an lice 75 case strike. A mean 1.4 ewes struck 2.8 lambs. There strong regional variations disease prevalence, with...
