Background: In Germany, it has been reported that up to 86% of pig farmers are colonized with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the nares, at least intermittently. However, little is known about the long-term persistence of colonization, especially when the farmers do not have daily contact to pigs. Here, we analyzed whether an absence from work during the summer holidays ha...

The interaction process between farmers’ livelihood and land use is a core link the coupling of human–land system. It complex evolutionary that involves several issues such as resource-intensive utilization economic development. This study first constructs dynamic model system efficiency designs two types 31 scenarios based on farmer’s mode use. further simulates coordination relationship in di...

Abstract Understanding the choice behaviours of farmers around treatment their livestock is critical to counteracting risks antimicrobial resistance (AMR) emergence. Using varying disease scenarios, we measure differences in species’ preferences and effects context variables (such as grazing patterns, herd size, travel time agrovet shops, previous experience, vaccination education level, income...

Water plays an important role in human life. One of the sources water used by community is a source that comes from wells. The poultry area Narmada not only for livestock needs but utilized and consumed especially farmers around source. distance between less then 15 meters which cause contamination.

Drought introduces a different set of risks and adaptation strategies as compared to flood, river erosion other natural hazards. This paper attempts investigate farmers' combat climate change in drought prone areas identify their determinants based on survey 480 farmers from northwestern Bangladesh. Farmers commonly practicing six technology-based one labour/family-based strategy with 80% adapt...

In Cambodia, influenza A(H5N1) virus surveillance at live poultry markets (LPMs) relies on virus isolation from poultry specimens; however, virus is rarely detected by this method. We tested 502 environmental LPM samples: 90 were positive by PCR, 10 by virus isolation. Virus circulation could be better monitored by environmental sampling of LPMs.

Aspergillus is among a growing list of allergens that aggravate asthmatic responses. Significant pulmonary pathology is associated with Aspergillus-induced allergic and asthmatic lung disease. Environments with high levels of exposure to fungi are found in animal production facilities such as for swine and poultry, and farmers working with these are at increased risk for occupational respirator...
