Leprosy Control

Leprosy is the disabling outcome of chronic infection withMycobacterium leprae. The disease often evades early detection, particularly now that fewer clinicians are able to confidently diagnose the disease following the integration of leprosy control measures within general health services in many countries. Although leprosy is officially eliminated in China, endemic regions remain in some difficult-to-reach, underdeveloped areas in Southwest China. In order to better understand the extent ofM. lepraeinfection and identify new leprosy cases in a timely manner, simple tools that can detect infection and the early disease are required. In this report we evaluated the performance of antigen-specific ELISA, the NDO-LID rapid diagnostic test, and antigen-specific whole blood assays (WBA) as potential diagnostic tools. Our data support the use of antibody detection tests and WBA to facilitate the diagnosis of multibacillary and paucibacillary leprosy, respectively. These tools could be invaluable for increased, but simplified, monitoring of individuals in order to provide referrals for clinical exam and early leprosy diagnosis.

The granulate cutworm, Feltia subterranea (Fabricius) is the most commonly occurring cutworm in Florida, though it is rarely numerous enough to be a major pest. It is nocturnal through most of its life and lacks distinctive features in the larval and adult stage, so it often is overlooked, and its activities and damage are not fully appreciated.

Walnut Husk

Walnut husk fly (Rhagoletis completa) is a major pest of English walnuts in California. Research was initiated in 1995 to evaluate reduced-risk pesticides. The first effective control measures were found in 2001—spinosad plus bait and kaolin (Surround). Spinosad was registered for organic use in 2003 as GF-120 NF (a formulation of spinosad and bait) and Entrust (a spinosad formulation to be mixed with existing baits). GF-120 is recommended for low to moderate populations while Entrust + bait is recommended for higher populations. Entrust + bait is price competitive with the standard malathion + bait. Kaolin is also effective for walnut husk fly control; however, control is dependent upon adequate coverage. In 2004, varietal susceptibility was assessed. The cultivars `Payne', `Serr', `Pedro', and `Hartley' were found to be highly susceptible while `Chandler' and `Howard' were somewhat resistant. Infestation in `Chandler' began later in the season than in other cultivars. Quality parameters were also measured. Samples of 100 infested and uninfested `Tulare' walnuts were compared at harvest. There were significant differences in adhering hull, percentage of edible yield, and relative value between infested and uninfested nuts. The relative value of infested nuts was 28% less than uninfested nuts. There were minimal differences in percentage of mold and kernel color. Walnuts sprayed with kaolin had larger nuts, fewer external defects, and an earlier harvest timing.

Background: The Coronavirus 2019-nCOV (COVID-19) epidemic by SARS-CoV-2 is spreading worldwide, and by March 1, 2020, 67 countries, including Iran, have been affected. Many studies are being conducted at home and abroad to predict the outbreak of the disease so that they can make the necessary medical and health decisions in a timely manner.  Methods: we used the SIR model to identify parameters to calculate epidemic features and some estimates of the new coronavirus. Data on the transmission of the novel coronavirus were extracted from the GitHub source in the covid19.analytics software package. Results: According to our model estimates, the rate of infection β = 1 and the rate of removal γ = 0.667 and index R0 = 1.497 were obtained. Because the value of R0 is more than one, it is still an epidemic disease. Given that tfinal~132 days was estimated, we can expect the transmission of this epidemic to stop in Iran after July 3, 2020, provided that existing quarantine measures and patient isolation rates continue as usual. In comparison with the global SIR model, we reached the peak of the infection earlierthan the global model, but in improved and susceptible cases, we performed better than the global model. The graph of recovered and susceptible cases in Iran earlier than the global model cut off themselves. Conclusion: Forecasts are set to be a useful guide for deciding whether to transfer COVID-19. According to the predictions and estimates made, more attention should be paid to control measures

Aim: To determine the species composition and status pests of stored sorghum under traditional storages of farmers in Kenna district of Konso Zone of Southern Ethiopia. Study Design: From peasant association, about three sub-localities were randomly selected and from each sub-locality, three villages were selected at random with using a nested design. Place and Duration of Study: Survey was conducted between 1, August to 27, December 2019 in four major sorghum growing peasant association of Kenna district of Southern Ethiopia. Methodology: The study on determination of the species composition and status pests of stored sorghum was made from of half kilogram of wheat grain sample taken from 720 stores of randomly selected representative farmer’s storages of four peasant associations using key of books related to stored product insects. Results: Fifteen arthropods species consisting of twelve primary and secondary pests and three natural enemies belonging to four insect orders with in nine families were recorded. Of which, nine species such as S. zeamais, S. oryzae, S. cerealella, T. castaneum, T. confusum, C. ferrugineus,    C. pusillus, R. dominica and P. interpunctella, respectively were found to be the most abundant as they appeared between 3.47 and 19.44 individuals per 100 g of sampled grains. They were also found to be the most frequently occurring as they occurred in the range between 63.89 and 94.44% per 100 g of sample grain collected from survey site and had major pest status. Conclusion: The traditional methods and practices used by farmers were inefficient for providing adequate protection of their stored sorghum grain pests. Therefore, there is urgent need for designing effective management strategies against insect pest’s sorghum as well as improving the existing farmer’s traditional storage strictures in the survey site in order to reduce the loss of stored sorghum by insect pests and the associated food insecurity.

The Stability

The length of time Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) remained infective in extracted tomato leaf sap on common surfaces and the effectiveness of disinfectants against it were investigated. When sap from PSTVd-infected tomato leaves was applied to eight common surfaces (cotton, wood, rubber tire, leather, metal, plastic, human skin, and string) and left for various periods of time (5 min to 24 h) before rehydrating the surface and rubbing onto healthy tomato plants, PSTVd remained infective for 24 h on all surfaces except human skin. It survived best on leather, plastic, and string. It survived less well after 6 h on wood, cotton, and rubber and after 60 min on metal. On human skin, PSTVd remained infective for only 30 min. In general, rubbing surfaces contaminated with dried infective sap directly onto leaves caused less infection than when the sap was rehydrated with distilled water but overall results were similar. The effectiveness of five disinfectant agents at inactivating PSTVd in sap extracts was investigated by adding them to sap from PSTVd-infected leaves before rubbing the treated sap onto leaves of healthy tomato plants. Of the disinfectants tested, 20% nonfat dried skim milk and a 1:4 dilution of household bleach (active ingredient sodium hypochlorite) were the most effective at inactivating PSTVd infectivity in infective sap. When reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction was used to test the activity of the five disinfectants against PSTVd in infective sap, it detected PSTVd in all instances except in sap treated with 20% nonfat dried skim milk. This study highlights the stability of PSTVd in infective sap and the critical importance of utilizing hygiene practices such as decontamination of clothing, tools, and machinery, along with other control measures, to ensure effective management of PSTVd and, wherever possible, its elimination in solanaceous crops.

El cultivo de tomate de cáscara es afectado por la presencia de diversas plagas y enfermedades en donde figura la presencia del psílido Bactericera cockerelli Sulc., al cual se le atribuye el amarillamiento y aborto floral. El control de este psílido no ha sido eficiente por el desconocimiento de la distribución espacial del mismo, por lo tanto, el presente estudio se realizó con la finalidad de conocer la distribución espacial de ninfas de Bactericera cockerelli, en tomate de cáscara por medio de técnicas geoestadísticas. Se determinó el semivariograma experimental y se ajustó a un modelo teórico, el ajuste se validó con el método de validación cruzada y se obtuvieron los mapas de agregación de la plaga a través del krigeado. Los resultados mostraron que las poblaciones de ninfas de Bactericera cockerelli, presentan una distribución del tipo agregada, la cual fue corroborada con los mapas de densidad. La plaga no infestó el 100% de la superficie de las parcelas estudiadas, lo cual nos ayuda a crear programas de manejo eficaces y dirigir las medidas de control a las áreas específicas de infestación.ABSTRACTThe husk tomato crop is affected by the presence of several pests and diseases which includes the presence of Bactericera cockerelli Sulc., psyllid to which, yellowing and floral abortion is attributed. The control of this psyllid has not been efficient; therefore, the present study was carriedout with the purpose to know the spatial distribution of B. cockerelli nymphs, on husk tomato by using geostatistical techniques. The experimental semivariogram was determined and a theoretical model adjusted, and validated with the cross validation method and the aggregation maps of the plate were obtained through krigeado. The results show that the populations of B. cockerelli nymphs exhibits an aggregate type distribution, corroborated with density maps. The pest did not infest 100 % of the plots studied, which helps us to create effective management programs and direct control measures to specific areas of infestation.
