To be useful for indicating plant water needs, any measure of stress should closely related to some the known short- and medium-term responses, such as stomatal closure reduced rates expansive growth. Midday stem potential has proven a index in number fruit tree species. Day-to-day fluctuations under well-irrigated conditions are well correlated with midday vapor-pressure deficit, and, hence, nonstressed baseline can predicted. Measuring helped explain results 3-year deficit irrigation study...
Background Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs are yet to be widely implemented in veterinary practice and medical unlikely directly applicable settings. Objective To gain an in‐depth understanding of the factors that influence effective AMS practices Australia. Methods A concurrent explanatory mixed methods design was used. The quantitative phase study consisted online questionnaire assess veterinarians’ attitudes antimicrobial resistance (AMR) use animals, extent which currently is...
A spatial simulation model of foot-and-mouth disease was used in March and early April 2001 to evaluate alternative control policies for the epidemic Great Britain. Control were those operation from 20, 2001, comprised a ban on all animal movements February 23, stamping-out policy. Each commenced with known population infected farms 10, ran 200 days. For policy which best approximated that actually implemented late March, predicted an approximately 1800 1900 affected farms, estimated would...
Formal decision-analytic methods can be used to frame disease control problems, the first step of which is define a clear and specific objective. We demonstrate imperative framing clearly-defined management objectives in finding optimal actions for outbreaks. illustrate an analysis that applied rapidly at start outbreak when there are multiple stakeholders involved with potentially objectives, also models upon compare actions. The output our frames subsequent discourse between policy-makers,...
Routine urine cultures were performed in cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to assess the overall prevalence and clinical signs associated a positive culture (PUC). An occult urinary tract infection (UTI) was defined as PUC not of lower or pyelonephritis. Multivariate logistic Cox proportional hazard regression models used evaluate risk factors for an UTI its relationship survival. There 31 PUCs from 25 cats. Eighty-seven percent had active sediments. The most common infectious agent...
Investigations of antimicrobial use in companion animals are limited. With the growing recognition need for improved stewardship, there is urgent more detailed understanding patterns this sector.To investigate medical and surgical conditions dogs cats by Australian veterinarians.A cross-sectional study was performed over 4 months 2011. Respondents were asked about their choices antimicrobials empirical therapy diseases cats, duration therapy, selection based on culture susceptibility...
Background Taenia solium, the cause of neurocysticercosis (NCC), has significant socioeconomic impacts on communities in developing countries. This disease, along with taeniasis is estimated to infect 2.5 5 million people globally. Control T. solium NCC necessitates accurate diagnosis and treatment carriers. In areas where all three species tapeworms (T. saginata asiatica) occur sympatrically, conventional microscope- copro-antigen based diagnostic methods are unable distinguish between...
