Can Wolbachia be used to control malaria?
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted by the infectious bite of Anopheles mosquitoes. Vector control of malaria has predominantly focused on targeting the adult mosquito through insecticides and bed nets.

متن کاملSupplemental polyethylene glycol affects intake of and preference for sericea lespedeza by cattle.
We tested the hypothesis that supplemental polyethylene glycol (PEG), a polymer that neutralizes the effects of tannins, would increase intake and preference of cattle for fresh-cut sericea lespedeza (SL; Lespedeza cuneata), a legume with high concentrations of condensed tannins. Sixteen crossbred steers (initial BW of 249 +/- 6.6 kg) were randomly assigned to 2 treatments: 1) grain supplement ...
متن کاملEffect of Ensiling on Anti-parasitic Properties of Sericea Lespedeza
A study was designed to determine the effects of feeding ensiled sericea lespedeza (SL; Lespedeza cuneata) on gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) and coccidia (Eimeria spp.) infections in young goats. A 28-day confinement study was completed with 36 nine-month-old Spanish bucks (53.8 ± 8.1 lbs) fed 3 diets consisting of SL silage, chopped SL hay, or ground bermudagrass (BG; Cynodon dactylon) hay (7...
متن کاملDetecting invasive sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata) in Mid-Missouri pastureland using hyperspectral imagery.
Missouri ranks second in cow-calf numbers in the United States and its pastureland has experienced invasion of various plant species. As one of the invasive weeds, sericea lespedeza is becoming a serious threat to pasturelands in this state. The in-situ field survey in these vast pastures is time consuming and often impossible because of accessibility. Typical aerial survey is also difficult to...
متن کاملYield and nutritive quality of sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata) and little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) exposed to ground-level ozone.
Sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata cv. Interstate 76) and little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium cv. Aldous) were raised from seed in a glasshouse, transplanted into 5.7-l pots and placed into open-top chambers (OTC) on 6 June 1999. Following a 7-day adjustment period, each of six OTCs (duplicate OTCs per treatment) was ventilated with either air that had been carbon-filtered (CF) to remove...
