Scientists have used machine learning algorithms to teach computers to recognize the insect feeding patterns involved in pathogen transmission. The study also uncovers plant traits that might lead to ...

Stress hormones might represent a key link between individual-level infection outcome, population-level parasite transmission, and zoonotic disease risk. Although the effects of stress on immunity are ...

(1) A model of disease transmission was formulated which assumed that vector feeding behaviour is cyclical rather than continuous. This model led to equations which were analogous to those developed ...

It is hard to overstate the medical importance and burden of vector-transmitted infectious diseases. Whether the metric used is mortality (malaria, for example, kills 1 million to 2 million people ...

LB Porteus Farms of Coshocton installed a new aeration system and Lely's Robotic Vector Feeding System for its beef cattle operation. The aeration system blows air into manure to bubble it. This ...
