The reproductive period is a critical part of species’ life history. Estimating species-specific fecundity can improve demographic models aimed at developing recovery targets for imperilled species. We provide egg diameter and estimates develop length–fecundity relationship silver shiner, Notropis photogenis (Cope, 1865), small-bodied freshwater species listed as Threatened under Canada's Speci...

The African Queen butterfly (Danaus chrysippus) is noted for its colour pattern polymorphism despite aposematic and chemically defended lifestyle infection with a male-killing endosymbiont (Spiroplasma). largely restricted to east central Africa where three different forms meet interbreed in large contact or hybrid zone. primary objective of this study present recent data on the polymorphism, s...

The prevention of infectious diseases is a critical since workers develop infections while providing services to patients. However, infection and control are challenging, especially facilities. Thus, this study aimed determine the level knowledge, attitudes, practices among K...

Abstract Candidaspecies are the leading cause of life-threatening fungal infections in humans, especially among immunocompromised and hospitalized individuals. Of utmost concern is emerging “superbug” Candida auriswhich has potential to disseminate into bloodstream with up 60% mortality susceptible populations. Importantly, C. aurisis first inherently multidrug-resistant pathogen, which contrib...

Abstract Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen commonly found in the environment, including water and plumbing, which may serve as a reservoir of spread. We examined P. carbapenem resistant (CRPA) rates trends recent years. Methods assessed using microbiology data from over 265 hospitals Premier Healthcare Database January 2017 – December 2020. identified cohort inpatie...
