Integrating Vector and Nuisance Mosquito Control for Severe Weather Response
Authors: Ward Heather M. , Qualls Whitney A. 
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT
Ideally, all mosquito control programs would have public health–driven and nuisance population–focused components in their mosquito control plan. However, due to resource limitations many mosquito control programs focus attention on one specific component of integrated mosquito control, i.e., adulticiding only. Programs run by public health departments with limited resources are frequently heavily focused on vector control, targeting a few mosquito species that are locally medically relevant in human and animal disease cycles. Focusing their mosquito management on these specific vector species can result in inefficiencies after hurricanes and severe flooding events that create a need for nuisance mosquito control. Floodwater nuisance species that emerge are not routinely a public health threat, but hinder operations related to response efforts and can negatively affect the lives of people in areas recovering from these disaster events. Staff, training, equipment, and facilities, when aimed at public health vector control, may not have the experience, knowledge, or tools to effectively respond to postdisaster, floodwater mosquito populations. As such, all mosquito management programs should have plans in place to handle not only known vectors of public health concern in response to mosquito-borne disease, but also to manage floodwater mosquito populations after natural disasters to safeguard public health and facilitate recovery operations. The current paper discusses the severe weather events in South Texas in 2018 and the resulting integrated nuisance floodwater mosquito control guidance developed by the Texas Department of State Health Services.

ABSTRACT
The United States Department of Defense (DoD) employs advanced-degreed entomologists as Preventive Medicine and Public Health Officers in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. While the primary objective of military entomologists is service member health and readiness (“force health protection”), military entomology resources can provide support to civil authorities as directed by the President or Secretary of Defense through Department of Defense Directive 3025.18, Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA). The employment of DSCA is complex and involves the consideration of such factors as the proper request process, funding, legality, risk, appropriateness, and readiness. Once approved and mobilized, however, military preventive medicine assets can be of significant help to civil authorities when dealing with emergency vector control. This paper will address some of the policy issues surrounding the use of DSCA, outline the resources available from the individual military services, and provide examples of DoD contingency vector control support to civil authorities.

ABSTRACT
There is a clear need for improved vector surveillance approaches that are affordable, labor efficient, and safer than traditional methods. The BG-Counter (Biogents USA, Moorefield, WV) is a device for remotely monitoring mosquito activity in combination with the BG-Sentinel (Biogents USA), a widely used trap for the collection of host-seeking mosquitoes. The BG-Counter uses a wireless connection to provide real-time counts of mosquitoes captured by the BG-Sentinel, allowing users to remotely monitor mosquito populations. This study tested the effectiveness of the BG-Counter in 5 North Carolina counties. A total of 96 trap-days resulted in the collection of &gt;45,000 individual mosquitoes representing 35 species. Aedes albopictus was the most common species collected in all counties, except for New Hanover County where Culex nigripalpus was the most common. The mean daily accuracy ranged from 80.1% (New Hanover County) to 9.4% (Jackson County). There was a significant linear relationship between the actual number of mosquitoes collected and the device counts at all sites except Jackson County, the site with the lowest relative mosquito abundance compared with nontarget organisms. A linear regression of daily BG-Counter accuracy and the daily proportion of mosquitoes to the total number of arthropods collected revealed a significant positive linear relationship, supporting the premise that the BG-Counter is less effective when the relative abundance of mosquitoes is low. Mosquito surveillance programs using the BG-Counter should recognize its context-dependent accuracy and routinely evaluate the accuracy of the device based on local conditions.

ABSTRACT
The present study aimed to explore the current status of knowledge and practices of dengue prevention associated with sociodemographic status among the community living in an urban area of Selangor, Malaysia. A total of 441 participants were interviewed regarding sociodemographic status, knowledge of dengue, and self-reported prevention practices. Participants over 40 years old were more likely (odds ratio [OR] = 4.210, 95% CI = 1.652–10.733, P = 0.003) to have better dengue knowledge. Participants whose average monthly household income was more than MYR3,000 (US$715) were more likely (OR = 1.607, 95% CI = 1.059–2.438, P = 0.026) to have better practices of dengue prevention measures. The finding suggests that both government and community efforts are essential in order to continue to educate about dengue and reduce the frequency of dengue cases nationwide.

Published: October 2020

A produtividade florestal depende das potencialidades genéticas das matrizes, do ambiente proposto pelos substratos, frequência de irrigação, disponibilidade de luz, nutrição e das condições fitossanitárias. Assim, objetivou-se com o presente estudo analisar os efeitos da aplicação de potássio e de irrigação na qualidade de mudas de Eucalyptus urophylla. Para tal adotou-se o delineamento experimental em parcelas subdivididas definindo as 2 lâminas de irrigação (10 mm e 15 mm) como parcelas e os 5 níveis de potássio (0; 1,2; 2,4; 4,8; e 9,6 g L-1) como subparcelas, em 5 repetições compostas por 9 plantas. A comparação entre os métodos foi feita através teste de Tukey com 5% de probabilidade. Aos 120 dias, foram avaliadas: altura da parte aérea, diâmetro do colo, massa seca da parte aérea e da raiz. O tratamento testemunha apresentou as melhores médias em todos os parâmetros, sendo considerado o mais eficiente. A lâmina de irrigação de 15 mm foi considerada a mais eficiente. Portanto, conclui-se que qualquer que seja o incremento de potássio na produção de mudas, o mesmo deve se relacionar harmonicamente com a quantidade pré-existente no substrato base e com as exigências da cultura, de maneira que haja equilíbrio entre todas as partes.

IRRIGATION AND POTASSIUM LEVELS IN THE QUALITY OF EUCALYPTUS

ABSTRACT: Forest productivity depends on the genetic potential of the matrices, the environment proposed by the substrates, frequency of irrigation, availability of light, nutrition and phytosanitary conditions. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the effects of potassium and irrigation on the quality of Eucalyptus urophylla seedlings. For this purpose, the experimental design was adopted in subdivided plots, defining the 2 layers of irrigation (10 mm and 15 mm) as plots and the 5 levels of potassium (0; 1.2; 2.4; 4.8; and 9.6 g L-1) as subplots, in 5 repetitions composed of 8 plants. The comparison between the methods was made using the Tukey test with a 5% probability. At 120 days, the following were evaluated: height of the aerial part, diameter of the neck, dry mass of the aerial part and the root. The control treatment showed the best averages in all parameters, being considered the most efficient. The 15 mm irrigation blade was considered the most efficient. Therefore, it is concluded that whatever the potassium increase in the production of seedlings, it must be harmoniously related to the pre-existing quantity in the base substrate and to the requirements of the culture, so that there is balance between all parts.

Alterações no ambiente luminoso provocam mudanças adaptativas nas plantas, na tentativa de manter o seu crescimento e desenvolvimento. Objetivou-se com esta revisão investigar e descrever o efeito do ambiente luminoso no crescimento e desenvolvimento de forrageiras de clima tropical em sistemas silvipastoris. A compreensão da influência do ambiente luminoso e, das mudanças biológicas que as diferentes intensidades do sombreamento podem causar nas forrageiras de clima tropical, possibilita fundamentar as alterações metabólicas das respostas das plantas na tentativa de se manterem persistentes em sistemas sombreados. A partir disso, entender quais são os níveis aceitáveis de radiação para que os sistemas de produção sombreados não entrem em colapso é fundamental para que tomadas de decisões sejam realizadas no tempo hábil do ciclo biológico das espécies vegetais. Em sistemas silvipastoris, a redução da luz incidente em forrageiras de clima tropical provoca alterações como aumento da área foliar específica, redução na densidade populacional de perfilhos e na relação raízes: parte aérea da planta. Cada espécie ou cultivar apresenta características adaptativas específicas ao sombreamento com a finalidade de aproveitar os recursos disponíveis em tecidos fotossintéticos e de suporte. No entanto, ainda assim o sombreamento intenso (>40%) afeta negativamente a produção forrageira de acordo com a variabilidade climática.

EFFECT OF THE LIGHT ENVIRONMENT IN TROPICAL CLIMATE FORAGES IN SILVOPASTORAL SYSTEMS

ABSTRACT: Changes in the light environment cause adaptive changes in plants, to maintain their growth and development. The aim of this review is to investigate and describe the light environment effect on the growth and development of tropical forages in silvopastoral systems. The understanding of the influence of the light environment and the biological changes that different shading intensities can cause in tropical forages, makes it possible to substantiate the metabolic alterations of plant responses to remain persistent in shaded systems. From this, understanding what are the acceptable levels of radiation so that the systems do not collapse is essential for decision-making to be carried out in a timely manner in the plant's biological cycle. In silvopastoral systems, a light incidence reduction on tropical forages causes changes such as an increase in the leaf area index, reduction in the tiller population density, and shoot: root ratio. Each species or cultivar has adaptive characteristics specific to shading to take advantage of the resources available in photosynthetic and support tissue. However, even so, the intense shading (> 40%) negatively affects forage production according to climatic variability.

Published: October 2020

The article solves the problem of the imperfection of current operational economic analysis techniques for assessing the tourism enterprises financial potential and the necessity for the usage of strategically-oriented analytical tools. This will contribute to prudent and effective decisionmaking regarding the tourism enterprises strategic development. The aim of the article is to develop the methodological tools for the strategic analysis of the tourism enterprises financial potential based on the development of the integrated dynamic model including the determinants of the environmental direct and indirect impact. The model of the financial potential system of the enterprise is suggested, which is based on a combination of the resource concept, cybernetic and system approach, developmental theory, self-organization theory and dynamic abilities concepts, and consists of the internal contour (resource, personnel, organizational and information support), external contour (enterprise’s potential), the mechanism of resources transformation into financial results and feedback information, which provides a system homeostasis, taking into account, the influence of the environmental direct and indirect factors. The scientific and methodological approach to the strategic analysis of the internal tourism large enterprises financial potential is developed according to the additive factor model usage with integrated estimation based on a complex combination of deterministic analysis methods (concerning resource potential), nonformalized methods (regarding personnel, organizational and potential information support) and the "sum of places" method (in regard to the interpretation of the financial potential ranking score). A range of limits for the determination of the integral indicator level of the internal financial potential is defined and the rating of the tourist enterprises of the chosen strategic area of economic activity is proposed.
