This book introduces the changing patterns of schistosomiasis transmission in China at different stages. Arduous efforts have been made in the last 7 decades to control and eliminate schistosomiasis in China using various control strategies, such as snail control to reduce the intensity of the disease transmission, morbidity control to reduce disease prevalence, and integrated control strategies to block the disease transmission, supported by governments at different levels.This book also presents the scientific progresses which technically support the control and surveillance of schistosomiasis in the field. It summarizes the working mechanism and control strategies of multi-sectoral collaboration to promote the national control programme leading to schistosomiasis elimination eventually.

Since the 1980s, agriculture and plant breeding have changed with the development of molecular marker technology. In recent decades, different types of molecular markers have been used for different purposes: mapping, marker-assisted selection, characterization of genetic resources, etc. These have produced effective genotyping, but the results have been costly and time-consuming due to the small number of markers that could be tested simultaneously. Recent advances in molecular marker technologies such as the development of high-throughput genotyping platforms, genotyping by sequencing, and the release of the genome sequences of major crop plants have opened new possibilities for advancing crop improvement. This Special Issue collects 16 research studies, including the application of molecular markers in 11 crop species, from the generation of linkage maps and diversity studies to the application of marker-assisted selection and genomic prediction.

As a brazilian scientific journal it gathers laboratory reports, field observations and institutional notes that illuminate everyday practice and professional debate. It offers an immediate window into early 20th century science, presenting a tightly focused historical medical publication whose material charts the questions and methods of the day. Much of the volume addresses infectious disease research alongside public policy, and the cumulative evidence here is valuable for anyone interested in public health studies. The collection traces the early formation of tropical medicine history while remaining unexpectedly readable for the non-specialist. The language is at once technical and immediate, preserving the tone of contemporaneous scholarship without needless obscurity. It makes historical method approachable for students of medicine and curious readers alike.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Alpha Editions' careful approach balances faithful reproduction with readable design, so archival content is easy to consult. Prepared with careful editorial attention, it belongs in an academic reference collection and will be consulted by researchers and historians charting 1920s brazil medical institutions, practice and policy.For enthusiasts of rio de janeiro science and for those drawn to the institutional story of the oswaldo cruz institute, this volume compiles primary voices and technical observation in one accessible place. As part of a broader scientific periodicals anthology it invites both casual browsing and deep scholarly work, appealing equally to practising historians and classic-literature collectors. The historical value is plain: a contemporaneous account of method, debate and municipal response that helps explain how tropical medicine emerged from the laboratory into public life. Collectors, libraries and curious readers find in this edition both a handsome object on the shelf and a reliable source for research.

This book is a collection of chapters around the theme of parasitology and zoonosis in bot war and peace and the impact of these fields on public health. Individual experts have contributed reviews, novel research, and case series within the field to make a broad and interesting collection designed to stimulate thought and discussion in this area. The collection is dedicated to the life and career of Emeritus Professor John Marsden Goldsmid, an eminent parasitologist and advocate for further attention to these above listed fields of medicine. It would be suitable for medical and veterinary practitioners, students, scientists, and epidemiologists with an interest in parasitology and public health.

An authoritative survey of sap, scent and seed from the Philippine archipelago. Plants, people, trade, chemistry, memory. P. West's Philippine Resins, Gums, Seed Oils, And Essential Oils reads as both a Philippine natural resources guide and a botanical reference collection - methodical notes on tropical plant resins and gums balanced by careful attention to traditional seed oil uses and indigenous practices. Practical observations on collection, processing and trade are paired with clear botanical descriptions, making the text as valuable for an ethnobotany handbook as for an academic research resource. Concise yet revealing, its tone bridges fieldwork and bench study: taxonomic attention sits alongside accounts of markets, craft and everyday applications.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. First issued in the early 20th century Philippines, the work records local names, commercial preparations and uses that shaped trade and daily life; it stands as a valuable witness within southeast asian flora studies and economic botany studies. Scholars of essential oils of Asia, historians tracing botanical commerce, and those compiling a handbook of plant extracts will find comparative leads and contextual detail useful to museum catalogues, conservation surveys and botanical inventories.Casual readers find the human detail engaging; classic-literature collectors prize its archival presence and period voice. For field botanists and curators it functions as a practical field guide for botanists - a handbook and a companion for collection work and identification tasks. Students and lecturers will value it as an accessible academic research resource that illuminates the crossover of natural history, commerce and local knowledge, while practitioners in perfumery, resin commerce and traditional oil studies may uncover vernacular cues and historical precedents to inform modern inquiry and practical exploration.

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne member of the Flaviviridae family that historically has been associated with mild febrile illness. However, the recent outbreaks in Brazil in 2015 and its rapid spread throughout South and Central America and the Caribbean, together with its association with severe neurological disorders—including fetal microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome in adults—have changed the historic perspective of ZIKV. Currently, ZIKV is considered an important public health concern that has the potential to affect millions of people worldwide. The significance of ZIKV in human health and the lack of approved vaccines and/or antiviral drugs to combat ZIKV infection have triggered a global effort to develop effective countermeasures to prevent and/or treat ZIKV infection. In this Special Issue of Viruses, we have assembled a collection of 32 research and review articles that cover the more recent advances on ZIKV molecular biology, replication and transmission, virus–host interactions, pathogenesis, epidemiology, vaccine development, antivirals, and viral diagnosis.

Tropical medicine refers to the branch of medicine concerned with the health issues in tropical and subtropical regions. The types of health issues which are dealt with under tropical medicine include the ones which either occur naturally, or which are more widespread and difficult to control. Some common examples include tuberculosis, rabies, dengue, malaria, Chagas disease and HIV/AIDS. Poor living conditions are a major cause of health issues in the underdeveloped tropical countries. Tropical medicine often integrates other branches of science such as, microbiology, epidemiology, parasitology and virology. Tropical medicine is an upcoming field of medicine, which has undergone rapid development over the past few decades. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of the subject. It will prove to be immensely beneficial to students, doctors and researchers in this field.

West Nile virus is a neurotropic flavivirus that has emerged globally as a primary cause of viral encephalitis. Infection of humans and other vertebrate animals is associated with a febrile illness that can progress to a lethal encephalitis or flaccid paralysis syndrome. Its appearance in the Western Hemisphere in 1999 and the corresponding increase in global disease burden over the last decade have been accompanied by intensive study, including the entry of many scientists into the field. Breakthroughs have been made in understanding the unique transmission pattern between the vector and the multiple avian and mammalian hosts and targets. Studies in mammalian systems have dissected the viral and host factors that determine the pathogenesis and outcome of West Nile virus infection. On the basis of these experiments, progress has been made on the identification of genetic factors that predispose to severe human disease. Thus, in a remarkably short period of time, insight has been gained on a wide variety of disciplines related to West Nile virus biology. The aim of this book was to assemble an up-to-date and cutti- edge anthology from the leading experts in the field. The chapters are balanced by submissions from newcomers who have made significant recent contributions with those from established investigators who have dedicated their careers to the study of West Nile virus.

Diese fünfte Auflage wurde zusammen mit dem zweitgenannten Autor kritisch durchgesehen, ergänzt und verbessert. Die Besprechung zur ersten Auflage ist nach wie vor aktuell.Aus den Besprechungen zur ersten Auflage: "Aufgelockert durch viele Beispiele und Übungsaufgaben, wird die Theorie der Funktionen einer komplexen Veränderlichen bis zum Residuenkalkül entwickelt. Im Zentrum stehen die Integralsätze von Cauchy.... Jeder Paragraph schließt mit historischen Hinweisen, die auch die persönlichen Beziehungen der Beteiligten nicht ausklammern. So erfährt man natürlich die unterschiedlichen Standpunkte von Cauchy und Weierstrass. Neben den Themen, die in keinem Text zur Funktionentheorie fehlen dürfen, findet man auch "Raritäten", etwa: Eisensteins Zugang zu den trigonometrischen Funktionen mittels Reihen oder Ritts Satz über asymptotische Reihenentwicklung, welcher einen berühmten Satz von E. Borel enthält."Elemente der Mathematik
