An investigation of culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) as potential vectors of medically and veterinary important arboviruses in South Africa

Culicoides-borne viruses such as bluetongue, African horse sickness, and Schmallenberg virus cause major economic burdens due to animal outbreaks in Africa and their emergence in Europe and Asia. However, little is known about the role of Culicoides as vectors for zoonotic arboviruses. In this study, we identify both veterinary and zoonotic arboviruses in pools of Culicoides biting midges in South Africa, during 2012–2017. Midges were collected at six surveillance sites in three provinces and screened for Alphavirs, Flavivirus, Orthobunyavirus, and Phlebovirus genera; equine encephalosis virus (EEV); and Rhaboviridae, by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. In total, 66/331 (minimum infection rate (MIR) = 0.4) pools tested positive for one or more arbovirus. Orthobunyaviruses, including Shuni virus (MIR = 0.1) and EEV (MIR = 0.2) were more readily detected, while only 2/66 (MIR = 0.1) Middelburg virus and 4/66 unknown Rhabdoviridae viruses (MIR = 0.0) were detected. This study suggests Culicoides as potential vectors of both veterinary and zoonotic arboviruses detected in disease outbreaks in Africa, which may contribute to the emergence of these viruses to new regionsA US CDC Global Disease Detection grant for Zoonotic arboviruses, the NRF, the Meat Industry Trust and the Poliomyelitis Research foundation.https://medicalpapers.cn1699.com/journal/viruses-baselpm2022Medical Virolog

Possible over-wintering of bluetongue virus in Culicoides populations in the Onderstepoort area, Gauteng, South Africa

Several studies have demonstrated the ability of certain viruses to overwinter in arthropod vectors. The over-wintering mechanism of bluetongue virus (BTV) is unknown. One hypothesis is over-wintering within adult Culicoides midges (Diptera; Ceratopogonidae) that survive mild winters where temperatures seldom drop below 10 °C. The reduced activity of midges and the absence of outbreaks during winter may create the impression that the virus has disappeared from an area. Light traps were used in close association with horses to collect Culicoides midges from July 2010 to September 2011 in the Onderstepoort area, in Gauteng Province, South Africa. More than 500 000 Culicoides midges were collected from 88 collections and sorted to species level, revealing 26 different Culicoides species. Culicoides midges were present throughout the 15 month study. Nine Culicoides species potentially capable of transmitting BTV were present during the winter months. Midges were screened for the presence of BTV ribonucleic acid (RNA) with the aid of a real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay. In total 91.2% of midge pools tested positive for BTV RNA. PCR results were compared with previous virus isolation results (VI) that demonstrated the presence of viruses in summer and autumn months. The results indicate that BTV-infected Culicoides vectors are present throughout the year in the study area. Viral RNA-positive midges were also found throughout the year with VI positive midge pools only in summer and early autumn. Midges that survive mild winter temperatures could therefore harbour BTV but with a decreased vector capacity. When the population size, biting rate and viral replication decrease, it could stop BTV transmission. Over-wintering of BTV in the Onderstepoort region could therefore result in re-emergence because of increased vector activity rather than reintroduction from outside the region

Ethnobotany of the Plant in Ceremonies of Ngadha Ethnic Jerebu'u Sub District, Ngada District, Nusa Tenggara Timur Province

Ethnic Ngadha is one of the largest traditional communities in Ngada District. In the middle of globalization and modernity, their lives are still held in the tradition which is a heritage from their ancestors. One of a special characteristic of this tradition is the ceremonies in their community. This research has been done in February to May 2016 at Tiwuriwu, Watumanu and Dariwali villages, Jerebu'u Sub-District, District of Ngada. The aims of this research were to inventories the species of the plant, to investigate their meaning in each ceremony and conservation efforts undertaken by the community. The methods were used to collect the data was exploratory, participant observation and interviews. Based on this research, we found 60 of plants species including 26 families were used in ceremonies of ethnic Ngadha. The Poaceae is the most used family in their ceremonies with 15 species, Fabaceae with 8 species, Arecaceae with 6 species, Musaceae and Solanaceae each of them 3 species, while other families between 1 or 2 species. Each type of species has a specific meaning in any ceremonies in accordance with the intent and purpose of the ceremony. The efforts to conserve these plants have been done by local people by cultivation the plants around their yard, garden or field

Penghematan Air dan Penurunan Emisi Gas Rumah Kaca pada Perlakuan Alternate Wetting And Drying di Lahan Sawah

Perubahan iklim dan kelangkaan sumberdaya air irigasi merupakan ancaman keberlanjutan sistem produksi pertanian. Salah satu penyebab Perubahan iklim adalah peningkatan emisi gas rumah kaca (GRK) di atmosfer. Budidaya padi di lahan sawah merupakan salah satu sumber emisi GRK, terutama metana (CH4) yang pada saat ini meningkat lebih dari dua kali lipat dibandingkan pada era pra industri. Untuk itu, diperlukan strategi mitigasi GRK tanpa mengorbankan hasil. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh perlakuan alternate wetting and drying (AWD) terhadap penghematan air, GRK dan hasil padi. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kebun Percobaan Balai Penelitian Lingkungan Pertanian di Pati, Jawa Tengah pada tahun 2014-2015. Perlakuan disusun dengan menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok dengan 3 ulangan. Perlakuannya adalah sebagai berikut 1) Pengairan tergenang secara terus menerus (continuous flooding/ CF), 2) Safe-Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD-15 cm), 3) Site Specific-Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD-25 cm). Varietas padi yang digunakan adalah Cisadane dan plot percobaan berukuran 5 m x 7 m yang dilapisi dengan plastik sedalam 40 cm untuk mengurangi rembesan ke samping. Tanah di lokasi penelitian berjenis Aeric Endoaquepts dengan kandungan hara relatif yang rendah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan AWD dapat menghemat air irigasi dan menurunkan emisi gas rumah kaca tanpa mengurangi hasil padi di lahan sawah. AWD-15 cm dan AWD-25 cm masing-masing dapat menghemat air irigasi sebesar 23 % dan 27 % dibandingkan kondisi tergenang. Perlakuan AWD-15 cm dan AWD-25 cm secara signifikan menurunkan nilai global warming potential (GWP) dibandingkan dengan perlakuan tergenang. Perlakuan AWD-15 cm dan AWD-25 cm menurunkan emisi GRK masing-masing sebesar 33 % dan 41 % dibandingkan kondisi tergenang tanpa kehilangan hasil yang signifikan. Hasil gabah kering giling (GKG) tertinggi diperoleh dengan perlakuan AWD-15 cm yaitu sebesar 5,90 ton ha-1 dan tidak berbeda nyata dengan perlakuan tergenang dan AWD-25 cm. Teknik AWD-15cm merupakan salah satu opsi penurunan emisi GRK dari lahan sawah untuk mendukung pertanian yang ramah lingkungan

Occurrence of Heavy Infestation by the Fall Armyworm Spodoptera Frugiperda, A New Alien Invasive Pest, in Corn Lampung Indonesia

The fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda has spread and damaged corn in many African and a few Asian Countries recently. A recent outbreak (2019) of Spodoptera species in corn producing areas in the Island of Sumatra was suspected to be a new invasive species. Field observations were made on May 16, 2019 in the District of East and Central Lampung to identify the attacking Spodoptera species, and to observe and determine the damages. Based on the morphological characteristics, the “Y” inverted shape on the head capsule and the patterns of black spots on the abdominal segments (square and trapezoidal forms), the species was confirmed as S. frugiperda. The larvae heavily damaged the early stage of corn (approximately 2-week old) with 100% plants infested and each plant was occupied by a medium or large larva; while older corn received less damage. Larvae fed on the leaves causing defoliation before feeding on the growing point. Different damage symptoms due to S. frugiperda were compared to those of the Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis, and further discussion was made to determine the potential consequences of this new threat to the corn production in Indonesia

California Serogroup Viruses in a Changing Canadian Arctic: A Review

The Arctic is warming at four times the global rate, changing the diversity, activity and distribution of vectors and associated pathogens. While the Arctic is not often considered a hotbed of vector-borne diseases, Jamestown Canyon virus (JCV) and Snowshoe Hare virus (SSHV) are mosquito-borne zoonotic viruses of the California serogroup endemic to the Canadian North. The viruses are maintained by transovarial transmission in vectors and circulate among vertebrate hosts, both of which are not well characterized in Arctic regions. While most human infections are subclinical or mild, serious cases occur, and both JCV and SSHV have recently been identified as leading causes of arbovirus-associated neurological diseases in North America. Consequently, both viruses are currently recognised as neglected and emerging viruses of public health concern. This review aims to summarise previous findings in the region regarding the enzootic transmission cycle of both viruses. We identify key gaps and approaches needed to critically evaluate, detect, and model the effects of climate change on these uniquely northern viruses. Based on limited data, we predict that (1) these northern adapted viruses will increase their range northwards, but not lose range at their southern limits, (2) undergo more rapid amplification and amplified transmission in endemic regions for longer vector-biting seasons, (3) take advantage of northward shifts of hosts and vectors, and (4) increase bite rates following an increase in the availability of breeding sites, along with phenological synchrony between the reproduction cycle of theorized reservoirs (such as caribou calving) and mosquito emergence

At surface behaviour at location on spot of southern elephant seals from Marion Island in 2004 with links to datasets

A novel classification system was applied to the sea level anomaly (SLA) environment around Marion Island. We classified the SLA seascape into habitat types and calculated percentage of habitat use of ten juvenile southern elephant seals (SES). Movements were compared to SLA and SLA slope values indicative of ocean eddy features. This classification provides a measure of habitat change due to seasonal fluctuations in SLA. Some of the seals made two migrations in different seasons, each of similar duration and proportions of potential foraging behaviour. The seals in this study did not use any intense eddy features, but their behaviours varied with SLA class. Potential foraging behaviour was positively influenced by negative SLA values (i.e. areas of below average sea surface height). Searching behaviour during the winter was more likely at eddy edges where high SLA slope values correlated with low SLA values. Though the seals did not forage within newly spawned eddies, they did forage near the sub-Antarctic front. Plankton and other biological resources transported by eddies formed at the subtropical convergence zone are evidently concentrated in this region and enhance the food chain there, forming a foraging ground for juvenile SES from Marion Island
