GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION IN GENETIC COMPOSITION, SEXUAL COMMUNICATION AND MATING COMPATIBILITY OF THE FALSE CODLING MOTH, THAUMATOTIBIA LEUCOTRETA FOR OPTIMISATION OF AREA-WIDE CONTROL

Intraspecific variation in sex pheromones is a driver of reproductive isolation and speciation in insects.The False Codling Moth (FCM) Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a quarantine pest endemic to sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).The currently available precision control measures for FCM use female sex pheromone components to lure mal

Tularemia is an infective disease of zoonotic character, bacterial etiology, Insurance which occurs predominantly among rodents, but also in other species of domestic and wild mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and humans.The cause of the disease is Francisella tularensis.Due to its epidemiological-epizootiological characteristics, the cause belongs t

Vibrio species are important seafood-borne pathogens that are responsible for 50-70% of gasteroenteritis.The present study was carried out in order to determine the prevalence of Vibrio species and the distribution of tdh, tlh and trh virulence genes in Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated from fresh and salted shrimp samples.Totally, 60 fresh and salt

Conventional hybrid VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft are always designed by directly mounting multicopter rotors onto a fixed-wing plane.This type of VTOL aircraft may suffer from terrible drag due to the copter rotors.To tackle this problem, this paper describes a novel rotors retractable hybrid VTOL UAV (RR VTOL) that combines the ho

The Crystal chandelier cleaner sequelae and complications of coronavirus disease 2019 infection have continued to emerge during this pandemic era.Although the long-term effects are continually being monitored and studied, we have been seeing more acute and subacute medical complications requiring a thorough discussion and, sometimes, adjustment of
