Improved estimates for extinction probabilities and times to extinction for populations of tsetse (Glossina spp) by Damian, Kajunguri, Elisha B., Are, John W., Hargrove

“…These mortality levels can be achieved for some species using insecticide-treated targets or cattle— providing thereby a simple, effective and cost-effective method of controlling and eradicating tsetse, and also human and animal trypanosomiasis. Our results are of further interest in the modern situation where increases in temperature are seeing the real possibility that tsetse will go extinct in some areas, without the need for intervention, but have an increased chance of surviving in other areas where they were previously unsustainable due to low temperatures.…”

Picobirnaviruses: prevalence, genetic diversity, detection methods by A. Yu. Kashnikov, N. V. Epifanova, N. A. Novikova

“…Such factors as stress syndrome, physiological conditions, immune status and host age at the time of primary PBV infection influence the virus detection rate in humans and animals. The possible zoonotic nature of human PBV infection is noted due to the capacity for interspecies PBV transmission acquired during evolution as a result of the reassortment of the genome segments of different viruses infecting the same host. …”
