Plankton samples wcrc t,akcn along the coast and in the sounds of North Carolina to determine the inshore distribul ion of the Chact~ognatha. Five species were found within ten miles of the coast. The large northern sounds with water of reduced salinity do not appear to support an appreciable chaetognath populalion. SarJitta hispida and 8. tenuis, the two characteristic inshore spccics, wcrc co...

The Water Framework Directives aims a reduction in concentration of hazardous substances in the marine environment. Consequently, there is a need to distinguish between anthropogenically influenced metal concentrations from natural background levels. To better achieve this goal in the Portuguese coast, dissolved and particulate trace metal (TM) concentrations along the Portuguese coast were det...

This article reports Pirimiphos-methyl resistance status of Culex pipiens populations harvested in four breeding sites in Northern Tunisia. Our results showed the resistance of all samples to Pirimiphos-methyl. The RR50 ranged from 3.3 1 to 62.1. The sample collected from Tazarka had the highest resistance among all studied populations. This status could be explained by its frequency of mortali...

This mini-review focus on summarizing different phenotypic and genotypic analysis recorded on Phytophthora infestans population collected from the Northern area of Tunisia. Here, we demonstrated that mating type distribution plays a primordial role in genetic structure of the pathogen between sampling regions. Also, a probably strong correlation between mating type and metalaxyl resistance coul...

STOCK DEFINITION AND GEOGRAPHIC RANGE The coastal morphotype of bottlenose dolphin is continuously distributed along the Atlantic coast south of Long Island, New York, to the Florida peninsula, including inshore waters of the bays, sounds and estuaries. Except for animals residing within the Southern North Carolina and Northern North Carolina Estuarine Systems (e.g., Waring et al. 2007), estuar...

Human noroviruses (NoVs) cause epidemic and endemic acute gastroenteritis in children and adults. To study the prevalence and genetic diversity of NoV in children in Tunisia, a total of 788 fecal samples were collected during a 4-year period in the region of Monastir, from children 12 years of age or younger, hospitalized or presenting in dispensaries with symptoms of acute gastroenteritis. NoV...
