Land Use Affects Macroinvertebrate Community Composition in Phytotelmata in the Peruvian Amazon

Stephen P. Yanoviak, +2 more
- 01 Nov 2006 - 
TL;DR: Macroinvertebrate abundance and species richness were correlated with water volume in tree holes and varied over time in bamboo sections, but forest tree holes contained more species than tree holes in chacras, and differences in species composition between the two types of phytotelmata largely were attributed to the short duration of the bamboo experiment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lark L. Coffey, +6 more
- 01 Dec 2004 - 
TL;DR: Everglades virus infection of cotton rats from South Florida is characterized to validate their role as reservoir hosts in the enzootic transmission cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jyotsna Pandya, +4 more
- 08 Feb 2012 - 
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the IRES-based attenuation approach can be used to develop a safe and effective vaccine against EEE and other alphaviral diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chikungunya virus infection prevalence in Africa: a contemporaneous systematic review and meta-analysis.

Fredy Brice N. Simo, +7 more
- 01 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: Although considered a NTD, this systematic review of studies reporting CHIKV infection in Africa finds high prevalence of chikungunya fever, and it should deserve more attention from healthcare providers, researchers, policymakers and stakeholders from many sectors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sylvatic dengue viruses share the pathogenic potential of urban/endemic dengue viruses.

Nikos Vasilakis, +6 more
- 01 Apr 2010 -
