Regime shifts and heterogeneous trends in malaria time series from Western Kenya Highlands
(Parasitology, 2011-10)
Large malaria epidemics in the East African highlands during the mid and late 1990s kindled a stream of research on the role that global warming might have on malaria transmission. Most of the inferences using temporal ...
Efecto del estrés calórico sobre la producción del ganado lechero en Costa Rica
(Universidad de Costa Rica, Costa Rica, 2019-04-10)
Introducción. La producción lechera en zonas tropicales se caracteriza por una alta dependencia del recurso
forrajero, lo que la hace sensible a las variables climáticas, de las cuales existe información limitada sobre ...
Environmental forcing shapes regional house mosquito synchrony in a warming temperate island
(BioOne, 2013)
Seasonal changes in the abundance of exothermic organisms can be expected with
climate change if warmer temperatures can induce changes in their phenology. Given the increased
time for ectothermic organism development ...
Indian Ocean Dipole drives malaria resurgence in East African highlands
(SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 2012-02-16)
Malaria resurgence in African highlands in the 1990s has raised questions about the underlying drivers of
the increase in disease incidence including the role of El-Nin ̃o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). However,
climatic ...
Assessing changing weather and the El Niño Southern Oscillation impacts on cattle rabies outbreaks and mortality in Costa Rica (1985–2016)
(BMC Veterinary Research, 2018-09-17)
Background: Rabies is a major zoonotic disease affecting humans, domestic and wildlife mammals. Cattle are the
most important domestic animals impacted by rabies virus in the New World, leading to thousands of cattle ...
Hot temperatures can force delayed mosquito outbreaks via sequential changes in Aedes aegypti demographic parameters in autocorrelated environments
(Elsevier B.V, 2014)
Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) is a common pantropical urban mosquito, vector of dengue, Yellow
Fever and chikungunya viruses. Studies have shown Ae. aegypti abundance to be associated with envi ronmental fluctuations, ...
Variations in the temperature-humidity index and dorsal fat thickness during the last trimester of gestation and early postpartum period affect fertility of Bos indicus cows in the tropics
(Hindawi, 2018-07-24)
In order to measure the infuence of the temperature-humidity index (THI) and the variation of fat thickness on reproductive
performance, ninety-two Bos indicus cows kept under grazing conditions were used in two farms in ...
Overwintering in the Bamboo Mosquito Tripteroides bambusa (Diptera: Culicidae) during a warm, but unpredictably changing, winter
(Oxford University Press on behalf of Entomological Society of America, 2018)
The bamboo mosquito, Tripteroides bambusa (Yamada) (Diptera: Culicidae), is a common insect across forested
landscapes in Japan. Several studies have reported its overwintering as larvae and eggs, in both natural ...
Enzootic mosquito vector species at equine encephalitis transmission foci in the República de Panamá
(PLOS ONE, 2017-09-22)
The identification of mosquito vector species present at arboviral enzootic transmission foci
is important to understand transmission eco-epidemiology and to propose and implement
prevention and control strategies that ...
