BackgroundThe surveillance of vector mosquitoes is essential for prevention and control of mosquito-borne diseases.In this study, we developed an internet-based vector mosquito monitor, MS-300, and evaluated its efficiency for the capture of the important vector mosquitoes, Aedes albopictus and Culex quinquefasciatus, in laboratory and field trials
Age and sex selection of prey is an aspect of predator ecology which has been extensively studied in both temperate and African ecosystems.This dimension, along with fecundity, survival rates of prey and mortality factors Walk other than predation are important in laying down the population dynamics of prey and have important implications in the ma
Objective: To study the effect of inter medin(IMD) on smooth muscle of rat seminal vesicles including the specific PINK GRAPEFRUIT receptors and the signal pathways involved.Methods: The contraction of the seminal vesicle in response to norepinephrine (NE) and ADM2/IMD was studied by the organ bath method.The effects of antagonists for calcitonin g
Bone abnormalities are common in theropod dinosaur skeletons, but before now no specimen was known with more than four afflicted bones of the pectoral girdle and/or forelimb.Here we describe the pathology of a specimen of the 5 Pc. Sectional theropod dinosaur Dilophosaurus wetherilli with eight afflicted bones of the pectoral girdle and forelimb.On
