Abstract:
Mudblister worms Polydora websteri bore holes into oyster shells, and oysters respond by secreting extra layers of shell, creating a mudblister. When shucked, mudblisters can burst and release anoxic mud. Thus, infestation devalues oysters, particularly on the half-shell market. This study quantified oyster condition index and worm abundances over 2 full growing seasons at commercial oyster farms on the US Gulf of Mexico coast, and our results indicate that oyster growth rate, manipulated through ploidy and stocking densities, had little effect on worm infestation. Larval spionid worms were found year-round. Larval abundances were slightly higher within than away from farms, and larval size distributions were skewed toward smaller larvae within the farms, suggesting that farms may be a source of larvae. Triploid oysters had higher or comparable condition index values to diploids, but during summer months, when worm infestation was high, worm infestation was not correlated with condition index. Previously infested shells deployed at farms became more infested than uninfested shells at moderate infestation levels, but re-infestation was influenced more by farm location than by previous infestation condition. Higher infestation at a farm with more variable salinity as well as higher infestation in 2017 when salinity was lower suggest that salinity may be a potential driver of mudblister worm infestation. Results indicate that oyster farmers on this coast should use desiccation to treat oysters for mudblister worms frequently during the summer, but that manipulating stocking density or ploidy is unlikely to be effective in preventing mudblister worm infestation.

Abstract:
Background: In India, intestinal parasitic infestation is the most important problem of public health concern. Parasitic worm infestation among children is one of causes of undernourishment. The high prevalence may be due to poor sanitation, lack of awareness regarding transmission and treatment of disease and poor hygiene.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, conducted during the month of December 2016. All women having at-least one child below six years of age residing in the field practice area attached to urban health training centre of our medical college were interviewed. Data collected were entered in Microsoft Office Excel 2007.Results: A total of 361 mothers were interviewed of whom, 81% were aware of the disease. Those mothers who had ever heard of the disease were further interviewed. Of these, 54% of them were literate and 46% were illiterate. Comparing the literacy status, 26% literate mothers and 36% of the illiterate gave correct answers. Twelve percent of the literate mothers had correct attitude toward prevention of worm infestation. Almost three-fourths (71%) of the women had incorrect attitude for prevention of the disease. Eighty eight percent mothers consulted doctors.Conclusions: Majority of the mothers was aware about occurrence of intestinal worm infestations but they had incorrect knowledge about its causes, symptoms, preventive measures and treatment. The literacy status of mothers does not make any difference in knowledge and practice regarding worm infestation.

Abstract:
Worm disease is a disease caused by infestation of worms in the body of animals with minimal risk to cause death, but causes losses in the form of decreased body weight, milk production, body resistance to other diseases and stunted growth, especially goats at a young age. Population of goats in Lampung Province is the third largest position in Indonesia that it is important to know the effects that can be caused due to intestinal worms. The purpose of this study was to determine the ratio of goat body weight infestated by various types of intestinal worms so that the researchers knew the impact of digestive tract worms infestation on goat body weight. The study was conducted in the period July - October 2018 in the Budi Lestari Livestock Group, Gedong Tataan, Pesawaran Regency, Lampung Province. The type of goat used in the study was the Etawa Breeders Goat. The method is a completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments, namely the group of uninfested goats (P1); goat infested with 1 type of worm (P2); goat infested with 2 types of worms (P3); goats infected with 3 types of worms (P4); and goats infected with 4 types of worms (P5). Implementation procedures were (1) conducting a survey of PE goat populations; (2) Determining the age of PE goats; (3) Taking feces; (4) Identifying worm eggs (Mc Master Test and Sedimentation Test); (5) Determine samples; (6) Considering body weights; (7) Data tabulation and analysis. Data analysis was carried out using One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) method at a 95% confidence level with SPSS 24 software program, if there were significant differences then proceed with the Least Significant Differences (LSD) and Duncan Test. The results of the data analysis showed that there were no significant differences between treatments (p> 0.05), but based on the average data of PE goats body weight from various treatments the highest in the treatment group that did not infest worm infestation (P1) was 25.25 kg, continued to decline respectively P2 (19.00 kg), P3 (18.25 kg), P4 (16.00 kg), P5 (15.25 kg). The conclusion of the study is the more types of worm infestations in the body, the lower of PE goats body weight.

Abstract:
Background: Soil transmitted helminthiasis (STH) and schistosomiasis during pregnancy can cause active and debilitating disease with adverse birth outcomes. A recent estimation suggests that approximately 688 million girls and women of reproductive age (WRA) are at risk of helminth infections; including 140 million pregnant and lactating women and another 108 million adolescent girls. Mass deworming is regarded as the most effective means of controlling morbidity and mortality with STH and schistosomiasis; however there are various factors that could potentially modify its effectiveness including baseline nutritional status, worm burden and concomitant interventions. Currently, it is difficult to establish whether mass deworming during pregnancy has beneficial effects under certain conditions and limited effects under others. Objectives: 1. To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the impact of deworming during pregnancy. 2. To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the impact of interventions other than deworming; including water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) interventions. 3. To conduct an individual participants data (IPD) meta-analysis to identify the factors that explain variation in the effect estimates of mass deworming. 4. To discuss the current guidelines on mass deworming, the challenges and the economic perspective of mass deworming for WRA. Methods: To achieve the aforementioned objectives, following methodology was adopted: 1. A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating the effectiveness of mass deworming during pregnancy. 2. A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating the effectiveness of WASH interventions during pregnancy. 3. An IPD meta-analysis to explore whether the effect of mass deworming during pregnancy varies with individual characteristics, intensity of infection, socioeconomic status, sanitation environment and co-interventions. Results: 1. Findings from the systematic review assessing mass deworming during pregnancy suggest that it does not have any impact on maternal anaemia; however it significantly reduced the prevalence of STH and schistosomiasis. There was no impact of mass deworming during pregnancy on haemoglobin, birth weight, low birth weight (LBW), preterm birth, perinatal mortality, stillbirths, neonatal mortality and congenital abnormalities. 2. Findings from the systematic review on interventions other than mass deworming among pregnant women and WRA suggest that the data are too scarce and of low quality to inform best practice. 3. The IPD component of the thesis captured majority of the existing data (70% of the total potential participant population). 4. Findings from the IPD analysis suggest that mass deworming during pregnancy is associated with reducing anaemia with no apparent impact on infection intensity, LBW and preterm birth. These analyses were limited by the availability of data for the impact by subgroups and effect modification. Further studies accounting for maternal baseline worm intensities, concomitant iron/folic acid supplementation and antenatal care coverage could change these findings. Conclusion Mass deworming remains the recommended strategy to prevent and treat STH and schistosomiasis; however deworming alone is insufficient to achieve improvements in all maternal and newborn health outcomes. It is essential to address other factors such as poor sanitation, food insecurity and malnutrition. There is a need to support and promote open data policy for future IPDs to test new hypothesis.

Abstract:
Abstract In Madagascar, cereal yields remain insufficient due to various biotic and abiotic constraints, including Striga asiatica, a parasitic weed that has contributed to decreased maize yield up to 100%. This work aims to assess the impact of the practice of two cropping systems on the maize crop infested by S. asiatica. PLATA maize seed of the putative tolerant mutant line from the M5 generation after gamma irradiation at 100, 200 and 300 Gy and of the sensitive parent variety were grown in fields naturally infested or artificially inoculated with one pinch of around 3000 ready-to-germinate seeds of S. asiatica. The cropping system (SCV) is a community of plants that is managed by a farm unit to achieve various human goals. The residue of Stylosanthes sp. legumes was used as mulch SCVm and the legume cowpea was planted with the host plant for the intercropping system SCVv. Results have shown that the use of mulch, either residue SCVm or green mulch SCVv, minimizes S. asiatica infestation on maize plants. The SCV reduces significantly the number of emerging Striga plants with an emergence of 1.33 ± 0.36 for SCVm, 4.33 ± 0.27 for SCVv and 15.00 ± 1.08 for the control. Moreover, M5 lines have shown significant differences in plant survival rate of 50.57 ± 1.25% to 80.00 ± 0.91%, versus 13.50 ± 0.47% for the parent variety. Yields of the parent and M5 lines on SCVm are, respectively, 3.46 ± 0.02 t/ha and 4.64 ± 0.01 t/ha, and 2.30 ± 0.04 t/ha and 3.61 ± 0.05 t/ha for SCVv, while that of the control plot remains low, varying from 0.50 ± 0.04 t/ha to 2.29 ± 0.01 t/ha. Cover increases soil humidity and delays the development of S. asiatica and infection of the host plant, thus improving host plant yield. These results demonstrate the benefit of the integrated approach of mutation breeding and cultural practice to ensure more durable crop production under heavy Striga infestation.

Abstract:
Eosinophilic pneumonia is characterized by eosinophilic inflammation of the alveoli, usually with an accompanying eosinophilia of peripheral blood. The diagnosis should be considered when infiltrates on a chest radiograph are associated with blood eosinophilia, and is confirmed by demonstrating an excess of eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Before concluding that the cause is ‘idiopathic’, the following must be considered: parasitic infestation with blood-borne parasites such as (in tropical eosinophilia) filarial worms; adverse drug reaction; asthma; allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis; vasculitis, notably eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (previously known as Churg–Strauss syndrome); hypereosinophilic syndrome, a rare haematological disorder; and other disorders known to be associated with eosinophilic pneumonia. Causal factors need to be treated, but eosinophilic pneumonia otherwise often responds well to corticosteroid medication.

Abstract:
African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT), also called Nagana, is a vector-borne parasitic disease caused by an extracellular protozoan belonging to the genus Trypanosoma. It has serious effects on the health status and welfare of domestic mammals which considerably results in a reduction in their productivity. In this review, a comprehensive overview of the epidemiology of AAT was provided with a special focus on its general clinical aspects (the clinical signs and pathogenesis as well as its transmission cycle), the parasite (Trypanosoma spp.), the parasite life cycle and transmission, its vector (Glossina spp.), tsetse fly lifecycle and reproduction, risk factors of AAT, and economic importance of AAT in the affected countries. The present work gave a detailed account of epidemiology in the context of infestation patterns, the parasite causing it, its vector, and the economic impacts of the disease on different livestock species.

Abstract:
Worm infestations are one of the significant health problems affecting children in developing countries. It is highly prevalent among poverty-stricken communities due to poor hygiene. The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge and practice on anthelmintic drugs and the influence of selected factors and knowledge on worm infestation among parents of pediatric patients attending OPD at a Teaching Hospital, Sri Lanka. It was a descriptive cross-sectional study. A validated interviewer-administered questionnaire was used as a study instrument. A systematic random sampling method was used to select the 422 participants. The response rate was 79% (n=334). Pre-determined cut-off values used to assess the knowledge of worm infestation and knowledge on anthelmintic drug usage were 60% and 50%, respectively. Using these cut-off values, the level of knowledge was categorized as good and poor. Most of the participants were females (85.6%, n=286), and the mean age was 32(±5) years. 60.2% (n= 201) and 86.8% (n=290) had good knowledge on worm infestation and anthelmintic drug usage. Only 66.4% (n=215) of respondents used anthelmintics to their children as self-medication or prescribed drug. The age of the participants was statistically associated with anthelmintic drug knowledge (p<0.05). Knowledge of worm infestation could be further improved by educating the parents.

Abstract:
Vale do São Francisco in Pernambuco is one of the most economically important poles in the state and among its cultivars, it is worth mentioning the grape culture. This sector faces challenges related to the response time between identifying a field infestation and taking corrective actions, in order to minimize losses. This work comprises a comparative analysis between deep learning architectures, applied to identification of diseases in grape cultivars. Results suggest that the use of these technologies is plausible to differentiate healthy grape leaves from leaves presenting one of three different types of diseases, obtaining near 100% accuracy in studied database using an architecture that can be employed in embedded devices.

Abstract:
Dense white mustard (Sinapis alba L.) can suppress weeds, however excessive density negatively influences crop yields. The search for the optimal parameters for applying mineral fertilizers and the consumption of seed material will increase the crop yield and will improve its competitive ability. This work aimed to identify the seeding rate and doses of nitrogen fertilization at which white mustard plants can actively suppress weeds without reducing the productivity of the crop. In the course of this research, we established that S. alba sown at a rate of 2, 2.5 and 3 million seeds per ha suppressed the growth and development of weeds as much as possible. On average, in 2017-2019, the dry weight of weeds in the aforementioned variants was the least and reached 57.9; 42.3 and 38.4 g/m2, respectively. Weed species composition and quantitative parameters of weed infestation depended on the weather conditions of the year. The application of nitrogen fertilizer did not affect significantly the weediness of S. alba crops. The optimal density white mustard plant formed at a seeding rate of 2 million units/ha and, on average, for three years of research, the seed yield in this variant was the highest (0.6 t/ha).

Abstract:
Due to the important geographical location that characterized the city of Sirte-Libya, and given the importance of fish wealth in this region and the negative impact that may occur as a result of infecting fish with parasites, and the lack of research studies on this subject in this region, so this research study was conducted to contribute to the to clarify this issue. A number of (70) fish specimens were collected from Sirte - Libyan coast facing Mediterranean Sea from January 2021 to March 2021 , and the measurements were made on them all marine fish examined externally in the laboratory, after that they were dissected by the scientific methods used and examined internally, as well as the digestive system was examined and conducted on parasites extracted by all the processes related to study. The discovered parasitic worms were carefully extracted, laboratory operations were conducted on them, and they were examined and photographed under a normal light microscope as well as an electron microscope. The results showed that (2) of these fish were infected with nematode worms of the species Cucullanus longicollis , which were extracted from the large intestines of these fish. This parasite was recorded for the first time in the marine waters of the city of Sirte-Libya.The general shape of the parasite has been described, supported by pictures. This research aims to identify the parasitic nematodes that infect Mullus surmuletus fish and to know the extent of environmental pollution in the study area and the rate of fish infestation, as well as to clarify and studying the general form of these parasitic worms under study. Key words: Mullus surmuletus, Cucullanus longicollis, Waters of Sırte

Abstract:
Objectives: The Israeli work plan regarding HBTM included: (a) producing a better diagnostic method; (b) following infestations during the season and evaluating damage to resistant bees and, (c) controlling HBTM by conventional means under local conditions. For varroa our plans to try novel control (e.g. oil novel control (e.g. oil patties & essential oils) were initially delayed by very low pest populations, then disrupted by the emergence of fluvalinate resistance. We monitored the spread of resistance to understand it better, and analyzed an underlying biochemical resistance mechanism in varroa. The US work plan focused on novel management methods for both mites with an emphasis on reducing use of traditional insecticides due to resistance and contamination issues. Objectives were: (a) evaluating plant essential oils for varroa control; (b) exploring the vulnerability of varroa to desiccation for their management; and (c) looking for biological variation in HBTM that could explain virulence variability between colonies. Although the initial PI at the USDA Beltsville Bee Lab, W.A. Bruce, retired during the project we made significant strides especially on varroa water balance. Subcontracts were performed by Yoder (Illinois College) on varroa water balance and DeGrandi-Hoffman (USDA) who evaluated plant essential oils for their potential to control varroa. We devised an IPM strategy for mite control i the U.S. Background: Mites that parasitize honey bees are a global problem. They are threatening the survival of managed and feral bees, the well-being of commercial/hobby beekeeping, and due to pollination, the future of some agricultural commodities is threatened. Specific economic consequences of these mites are that: (a) apiculture/breeder business are failing; (b) fewer colonies exist; (c) demand and cost for hive leasing are growing; (d) incidences of bee pathogens are increasing; and, (e) there are ore problems with commercial-reared bees. As a reflection of the continued significance f bee mites, a mite book is now in press (Webster & delaplane, 2000); and the 2nd International Conference on Africanized Honey Bees and Bee Mites is scheduled (April, 2000, Arizona). The first such conference was at OSU (1987, GRN was co-organizer). The major challenge is controlling two very different mites within a colony while not adversely impacting the hive. Colony management practices vary, as do the laws dictating acaricide use. Our basic postulates were that: (a) both mites are of economic importance with moderate to high infestations but not at low rates and, (b) once established they will not be eradicated. A novel strategy was devised that deals with the pests concomitantly by maintaining populations at low levels, without unnecessary recourse to synthetic acaricides. Major Conclusions, Solutions, Achievements: A major recent revelation is that there are several species of "Varroa jacobsoni" (Anderson & Trueman 1999). Work on control, resistance, population dynamics, and virulence awaits knowing whether this is a problem. In the U.S. there was no difference between varroa from three locales in terms of water balance parameters (AZ, MN & PA), which bodes well for our work to date. Winter varroa (U.S.) were more prone to desiccation than during other seasons. Varroa sensitivity to desiccation has important implications for improving IPM. Several botanicals showed some promise for varroa control (thymol & origanum). Unfortunately there is varroa resistance to Apistan in Israel but a resistance mechanism was detected for the first time. The Israel team also has a new method for HBTM diagnosis. Annual tracheal mite population trends in Israel were characterized, which will help in targeting treatment. Effects of HBTM on honey yields were shown. HBTM control by Amitraz was demonstrated for at least 6 months. Showing partial resistance by Buckfast bees to HBTM will be an important IPM tactic in Israel and U.S.

Abstract:
This interdisciplinaray work combines expertise in engineering and entomology in Israel and the US, to develop an acoustic trap for mate-seeking female medflies. Medflies are among the world's most economically harmful pests, and monitoring and control efforts cost about $800 million each year in Israel and the US. Efficient traps are vitally important tools for medfly quarantine and pest management activities; they are needed for early detection, for predicting dispersal patterns and for estimating medfly abundance within infested regions. Early detection facilitates rapid response to invasions, in order to contain them. Prediction of dispersal patterns facilitates preemptive action, and estimates of the pests' abundance lead to quantification of medfly infestations and control efforts. Although olfactory attractants and traps exist for capturing male and mated female medflies, there are still no satisfactorily efficient means to attract and trap virgin and remating females (a significant and dangerous segment of the population). We proposed to explore the largely ignored mechanism of female attraction to male song that the flies use in courtship. The potential of such an approach is indicated by studies under this project. Our research involved the identification, isolation, and augmentation of the most attractive components of male medfly songs and the use of these components in the design and testing of traps incorporating acoustic lures. The project combined expertise in acoustic engineering and instrumentation, fruit fly behavior, and integrated pest management. The BARD support was provided for 1 year to enable proof-of-concept studies, aimed to determine: 1) whether mate-seeking female medflies are attracted to male songs; and 2) over what distance such attraction works. Male medfly calling song was recorded during courtship. Multiple acoustic components of male song were examined and tested for synergism with substrate vibrations produced by various surfaces, plates and loudspeakers, with natural and artificial sound playbacks. A speaker-funnel system was developed that focused the playback signal to reproduce as closely as possible the near-field spatial characteristics of the sounds produced by individual males. In initial studies, the system was tasted by observing the behavior of females while the speaker system played songs at various intensities. Through morning and early afternoon periods of peak sexual activity, virgin female medflies landed on a sheet of filter paper at the funnel outlet and stayed longer during broadcasting than during the silent part of the cycle. In later studies, females were captured on sticky paper at the funnel outlet. The mean capture rates were 67 and 44%, respectively, during sound emission and silent control periods. The findings confirmed that female trapping was improved if a male calling song was played. The second stage of the research focused on estimating the trapping range. Initial results indicated that the range possibly extended to 70 cm, but additional, verification tests remain to be conducted. Further studies are planned also to consider effects of combining acoustic and pheromonal cues.
