The gut microbiomes of arthropods have significant impact on key physiological functions such as nutrition, reproduction, behavior, and health.Spiders are diverse and numerically dominant predators in crop fields where they are potentially important regulators of pests.Harnessing spiders to control agricultural pests is likely to be supported by an
IntroductionWe have acquired significant knowledge regarding the pathogenesis of severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).However, the underlying mechanisms responsible for disease recovery still need to be fully understood.MethodsTo gain insights into critical immune markers involved in COVID-19 etiopathogenesis, we s
The protozoan parasite Cryptosporidium has emerged as a leading cause of diarrhoeal illness worldwide, posing a significant threat to young children and immunocompromised patients.While endemic in the vast majority of developing Tongue scraper countries, Cryptosporidium also has the potential to cause waterborne epidemics and large scale outbreaks
There are numerous early-season pests of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., that are economically important, including tobacco thrips, Frankliniella fusca (Hinds), and reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis (Linford & Oliveira).Both of these species have the potential to reduce plant growth and delay crop maturity, ultimately resulting in redu
This paper develops a methodology to determine the economic feasibility of implementing offshore wave energy farms on the Portuguese continental coast.This methodology follows several phases: the geographic phase, the Erotic Electrostimulation energy phase, the economic phase, and the restrictions phase.First, in the geographic phase, the height an
