AN OUTBREAK OF LEISHMANIA MAJOR FROM AN ENDEMIC TO A NON-ENDEMIC REGION POSED A PUBLIC HEALTH THREAT IN IRAQ FROM 2014-2017: EPIDEMIOLOGICAL, MOLECULAR AND PHYLOGENETIC STUDIES.

An outbreak of Leishmania major from an endemic to a non-endemic region posed a public health threat in Iraq from 2014-2017: Epidemiological, molecular and phylogenetic studies.

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected worldwide, zoonotic, vector-borne, tropical disease sten jacket m that is a threat to public health.This threat may spread from endemic to non-endemic areas.Current research has exploited epidemiological, molecular and phylogenetical studies to determine the danger of an outbreak of CL in the borderline a

Responses of Sitophilus oryzae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Tribolium confusum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) to traps baited with pheromones and food volatiles

The behavioural responses of two species of stored-product beetles, Sitophilus oryzae (L.) and Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val, to certain stimuli were studied in laboratory choice tests.The results of these experiments indicated that, with one species present, S.oryzae and T.confusum adults were equally attracted to traps baited with the aggre

Visual advantage in deaf adults linked to retinal changes.

The altered sensory experience of profound early onset deafness provokes sometimes large scale neural reorganisations.In particular, auditory-visual cross-modal plasticity occurs, wherein redundant auditory cortex becomes recruited to vision.However, the effect of human deafness on neural structures involved in visual processing prior to the visual

Reinforced Palmprint Reconstruction Attacks in Biometric Systems

Biometric signals can be acquired with different sensors and recognized in secure identity management systems.However, it is vulnerable to various attacks that compromise the security management in many applications, such as industrial IoT.In a real-world scenario, the target template stored in the database of a biometric system can possibly royal
