Can sequential aerosol technique be used against riverine tsetse?

The Sequential Aerosol Technique: A Major Component in an Integrated Strategy of Intervention against Riverine Tsetse in Ghana

BACKGROUND An integrated strategy of intervention against tsetse flies was implemented in the Upper West Region of Ghana (9.62°-11.00° N, 1.40°-2.76° W), covering an area of ≈18,000 km(2) within the framework of the Pan-African Tsetse and Trypanosomosis Eradication Campaign. Two species were targeted: Glossina tachinoides and Glossina palpalis gambiensis. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The ob...

A river-based model to predict riverine tsetse densities

Introduction In Burkina-Faso like in most sub-Saharan West-African countries infected by tsetse flies, Tsetse and African Animal Trypanosomoses (AAT) are a major hindrance to cattle breeding (Itard et al. 2003). Priority areas for control were defined through entomological and epidemiological studies (Hendrickx et al. 2004). The West-African cotton triangle, located at the West of Burkina faso,...

Can Prostate Specific Antigen Be Used as New Biomarker for Early Diagnosis of Breast Cancer?

Introduction: As a glycoprotein, Plasma Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) is mainly produced by prostate epithelial cells and is used as a major diagnostic tool for prostate cancer. A group of researchers relate the elevated number of estrogen receptors in breast cancer samples to the over-production of PSA in this type of cancer. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the participants' ...

How traditional symbols can be used as inspiration source in shaping the urban architecture?

This paper explores the developing of how designers can search for inspiration source which provided in the form of traditional elements and archetypes and also their role on idea generation in design from building to urban measure. In order to clarify of this, current study focuses on the Far-East region as an ancient part of the world in which there is a huge number of symbols like well known...
