Economic impact of bovine cysticercosis and taeniosis caused by Taenia saginata in Belgium
(BioMed Central, 2018-04-13)
Background: Bovine cysticercosis (BCC) (due to Taenia saginata) is often claimed to cause considerable economic
losses to the livestock industry, particularly in beef cattle, but recent studies estimating ...
Efficacy of parenteral vaccination against tuberculosis with heat-inactivated Mycobacterium bovis in experimentally challenged goats
(Public Library of Science, 2018-05-09)
Tuberculosis (TB) in animals is a re-emerging disease with a wide range of hosts that
causes large economic losses in livestock. Goats are particularly susceptible to TB and, in
endemic areas, vaccination ...
Experimental study of the susceptibility of a European Aedes albopictus strain to dengue virus under a simulated Mediterranean temperature regime
(Wiley, 2018-07-27)
Dengue virus (DENV) has re‐emerged in Europe driven by the geographic expansion of the mosquito species Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) and the introduction of the virus by ...

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae(M. hyopneumoniae) is the primary pathogen of enzooticpneumonia, a chronic respiratory disease in pigs. Infections occur worldwide andcause major economic losses to the pig ...
Global-change effects on early-stage decomposition processes in tidal wetlands – implications from a global survey using standardized litter
(Copernicus Publications, 2018-05-30)
Tidal wetlands, such as tidal marshes and mangroves, are hotspots for carbon sequestration. The preservation of organic matter (OM) is a critical process by which tidal wetlands exert influence over the ...
The role of forest maturity in extreme hydrological events
