Gene drives may be used in two ways to curtail vectored diseases.Both involve engineering the drive to spread in the vector population.One approach uses the drive to directly depress vector numbers, possibly to extinction.The other approach leaves intact the vector population but suppresses the disease agent during its interaction with the vector.T
Bot Canker of Oak in Florida Caused by Diplodia corticola and D. quercivora
This 6-page fact sheet describes the emergence of these two pathogens of oak and grapevine in North America and Florida; the signs and symptoms of infection; mechanism of host disease and death; Toy Storage Bag fungal morphology; origin, host range, and classification; and management options.Written by Sonja Mullerin and Jason A.Smith, #7 MEDIUM BL
Effect of household bleach on the structure of the sporocyst wall of Toxoplasma gondii
Toxoplasma gondii oocysts are responsible for food- and water-borne infections in humans worldwide.They are resistant to common chemical disinfectants, including chlorinated products, presumably due to the structure and #7 MEDIUM BLOND molecular nature of the oocyst wall but also the sporocyst wall.In this study, we used fluorescence microscopy and
Defect Detection of Printed Fabric Based on RGBAAM and Image Pyramid
To solve the problem of Optic Accessories defect detection in printed fabrics caused by abundant colors and varied patterns, a defect detection method based on RGB accumulative average method (RGBAAM) and image pyramid matching is proposed.First, the minimum period of the printed fabric is calculated by the RGBAAM.Second, a Gaussian pyramid is cons
