In order to disclosure the formation rule of predominant species in different nutrition conditions, three kinds of nutrition concentration were selected for the competition experiments with the common species of blue-green algae bloom Microcystis aeruginosa and the common species of green algae bloom Scenedesmus quadricauda. The competition relation was analysed by the competition parameters. The results indicate, in low nutrition, Scenedesmus quadricauda can stimulate the growth of Microcystis aeruginosa in mixed culture, the simulation becomes evident in low N/P ratio and M. aeruginosa can also stimulate the growth of S. quadricauda; in eutrophic condition, inhibition effect is connected with N/P; in hyper-eutrophic condition, the inhibition effect of S. quadricauda on M. aeruginosa is about three times as that of M. aeruginosa on S. quadricauda, and the effect of N/P ratio on competition inhibition parameters isn't evident. In low concentration N and P water, M. aeruginosa is easy to become predominant species, while in high concentration N and P water, S. quadricanda is easy to become predominant species.

Equine piroplasmosis is a worldwide tick-borne disease caused by the parasites Theileria equi sensu lato and Babesia caballi, with significant economic and sanitary consequences. These two parasites are genetically variable, with a potential impact on diagnostic accuracy. Our study aimed to evaluate the frequency of asymptomatic carriers of these parasites in France and describe the circulating genotypes.

Jiangsu Longhuan Environmental Science Co. LTD, Changzhou, 213164, China.

A bacterial strain P1, capable of degrading diesel and converting thiosulfate to sulfate was isolated from an oil-contaminated soil sample. The cells were Gram-stain-negative, slightly curved rods and motile with a single polar flagellum. Growth of the strain was observed at 4-45 °C (optimum at 28 °C), at pH 4.

Herbivorous insects occasionally produce population outbreaks that can alter the availability of food resources for other animals and cause economical losses. In the Patagonian steppe, wetlands are important ecosystems due to their environmental and ecological functions. Within these ecosystems, there is a wide diversity of phytophagous insects, among which two species of orthoptera are predominant: Dichroplus elongatus (usually considered a pest) and D.

Background: The Lihir Islands of Papua New Guinea, located in an area with high burden of malaria and hosting a large mining operation, offer a unique opportunity to study transmission. There, we investigated human and vector factors influencing malaria transmission.

Methods: In 2019, a cross-sectional study was conducted on 2,914 individuals assessing malaria prevalence through rapid diagnostic tests (RDT), microscopy, and quantitative PCR (qPCR).

Laboratory for Neuropathology, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.

Background: Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE) has been recently recognized as a cause of dementia in the elderly. LATE and Alzheimer's disease (AD) share similar clinical presentations, and their neuropathological changes-LATE-NC and ADNC-commonly co-occur in the brains of individuals with dementia. Frontotemporal degeneration (FTLD-TDP) represents another group of TDP-43-associated neurodegenerative diseases.
