Such high birth and death rates result in a rapid replacement of anti-rabies immunised individuals with susceptible ones. This loss in herd immunity needs to be taken into account in the design of rabies control programmes. The very small proportion of truly feral dogs in the population implies...
However, when considering soil erosion as per unit area it was recorded high in the Small Tea Gardens (0.7043 tons ha− 1yr− 1). Assessment of soil erosion susceptibility zones and rate of soil loss in Jalpaiguri district might aid in future management decisions. This is a preview...
A pit latrine is the most basic form of improved sanitation which is currently used by a number of people around the globe. In spite of the wide spread use, known successes and advantages associated with pit latrines, they have received little attention
In this study, we describe a 3-year field survey for the population dynamics of the male-killing Spiroplasma in D.chrysippus in four independent localities, namely Uganda, Ghana, Sudan and Madagascar. The prevalence of the bacterium was found to show extensive variations at multiple scales among...
Documenting traditional knowledge on plant use among ethnic groups has enabled researchers to obtain a better understanding of how indigenous flora is seen and used in daily life. Their therapeutic applications will also encourage future conservation and
On the other hand, protected areas that were more accessible, had sparser vegetation, where human population density was higher, and that were located in wealthier countries, had higher social media use. Interestingly, protected areas with lower richness in non-charismatic species had more users. ...
As the world is facing a serious threat from climate change, the importance of water has become more relevant for sustaining life particularly in the developing countries like ours. The inhabitants of hilly areas, having predominantly rural economies and high dependence on rainfed agriculture, are ...
vivax. Percentage concordance between visual and device interpretation of RDT was 98.5% and 99.0% for P. vivax and P. falciparum, respectively.The RDT, when compared to TBS, showed high sensitivity and specificity for P. falciparum in both visual and device interpretation, and good overall ...
About half of the world’s population have their homes in rural and remote areas [4]. The definition of “rural” may differ depending on factors such as geography, population density, and proximity to healthcare services [5]. Over the past few decades, families of persons with cancer have...
of species conservation in PAs due to their high sensitivity to human disturbance and extinction risk (Morrison et al.2007; Caro2010). Ecologically, most large mammals influence the functioning and integrity of ecosystems by driving the abundance, distribution, and diversity of other species (Soulé...
