ENHANCED BIOSURVEILLANCE OF HIGH-CONSEQUENCE INVASIVE PESTS: SOUTHERN CATTLE FEVER TICKS, RHIPICEPHALUS (BOOPHILUS) MICROPLUS, ON LIVESTOCK AND WILDLIFE

Abstract Background Some tick species are invasive and of high consequence to public and veterinary health.Socioeconomic development of rural parts of the USA was enabled partly through the eradication by 1943 of cattle fever ticks (CFT, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) annulatus and R.(B.) microplus).The southern cattle fever ticks (SCFT, R.(B.) microplu

Elephant poaching and the ivory trade remain high on the agenda at meetings of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).Well-informed debates require robust estimates of trends, the spatial distribution of poaching, and drivers of poaching.We present an analysis of trends and drivers of an indicato

The volatile materials released during the heating of solid fuels ignite at relatively low temperatures releasing heat function Fridge Door Reed Switch of their quantity and quality.This heat raises the temperature of the solid residue creating the conditions for his ignition and burning.In the case of burning of the pulverized coal the phenomenon

Retrotransposons are repetitive DNA sequences that are positioned throughout the human genome.Retrotransposons are capable of copying themselves and mobilizing new copies to novel genomic locations in a process called retrotransposition.While most retrotransposon sequences in the human genome are incomplete and incapable of mobilization, the LINE-1
