The susceptibility of Anopheles mosquitoes to Plasmodium infections relies on complex interactions between the insect vector and the malaria parasite. A number of studies have shown that the mosquito innate immune responses play an important role in controlling the malaria infection and that the strength of parasite clearance is under genetic control, but little is known about the influence of ...

Algae react to changes in their environment, such as temperature, nutrients, etc. The uncertainty aquatic environments exacerbates several interacting pressures. As a result, lakes are vital society because they help mitigate flood risks. It maintains the natural equilibrium, allowing flora and fauna flourish. primary objective of this research is identify trophic state index, category, algal a...

The genus Vibrio is made up of some of the most ubiquitous bacteria found in the marine ecosystem. Containing 91 different species, these short rod shaped Gram-negative bacteria are found all over the world, in temperate to warm aquatic environments, ranging from off-shore areas and estuaries to coastal waters. Some Vibrio species are found as a part of the normal marine flora or on the surface...

Wetlands provide habitat for a diverse array of aquatic and semiaquatic species, many of which provide direct economic and recreational value (Woodward and Wui 2001). Despite the provided by wetland fauna and flora, ecosystem services historical wetland loss has been dramatic. Wetland loss was >50% in the U.S. and 60-70% in Europe by the 1980s, with most losses resulting from agriculture and ur...

The fluminense vegetation, more specifically the flora from the Jurubatiba restinga has been investigated by a multidisciplinary team of botanists, chemist, radiobiologist, insect physiologists and geneticist. Vouchers of 564 specimens have been collected, identified, organized in an herbarium, and a database is being build up containing, in addition to classical botanical data, chemical data a...

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are found in aquatic systems, flora, and fauna worldwide. These potentially harmful compounds are also frequently detected in Sweden and have already resulted in severe problems for public drinking water supply, i.e., some wells had to be closed due to high PFAS concentrations both in raw water and produced drinking water. Knowledge on PFAS ...

High antibiotic resistance is seen in bacterial infections caused by members of the genus Aeromonas [1]. They are amid the most common diseases of fish especially those in pond systems containing recirculation [2]. The emergence of resistance to antimicrobial agents in bacterial pathogens is a global public health problem [3]. A. hydrophila is a microorganism widely distributed in nature: in wa...

The flora of Tropical Asia is among the richest in the world, yet the actual diversity is estimated to be much higher than previously reported. Myanmar and Thailand are adjacent countries that together occupy more than the half the area of continental Tropical Asia. This geographic area is diverse ecologically, ranging from cool-temperate to tropical climates, and includes from coast, rainfores...
