Published: March 1996

This laboratory study analyzed fecundity, fertility (percentage hatched), and developmental stage survivorship of Eretmapodites quinquevittatus. Fecundity for females averaged 190.4 eggs, whereas paired (one male/female pair) females averaged 100.5 eggs. Fertility for autogenous eggs from paired females was 84.4%, which was significantly greater than percentage hatched of anautogenous eggs (67.3%). Percentage hatched of autogenous eggs from experimental groups (25 males/25 females) was 87.8%, whereas percentage hatched of anautogenous eggs was 74.5%. Developmental stage survivorship was significantly different for every stage of development of progeny from autogenous eggs, except the egg stage, when comparing experimental groups with pairs. Developmental stage survivorship of progeny from anautogenous eggs was significantly different only at the egg stage and 1st instar when comparing experimental groups and pairs.

Researchers have raised concerns about parental migration's effects on various aspects of the left-behind children's development. However, there is limited understanding of how parental migration influences children over the life course. This study aimed to fill this gap by investigating how exposure to parental migration during childhood shapes later development in Indonesia and the Philippines, two major labor-sending countries in Southeast Asia.

Bat Viral Shedding: A Review of Seasonal Patterns and Risk Factors.

Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis

January 2025

Department of Epidemiology, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.

Bats act as reservoirs for a variety of zoonotic viruses, sometimes leading to spillover into humans and potential risks of global transmission. Viral shedding from bats is an essential prerequisite to bat-to-human viral transmission and understanding the timing and intensity of viral shedding from bats is critical to mitigate spillover risks. However, there are limited investigations on bats' seasonal viral shedding patterns and their related risk factors.

Background: Several predictive models have been developed for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in intensive care unit (ICU) family members. However, significant differences persist across related studies in terms of literature quality, model performance, predictor variables and scope of applicability.

Aim: This study aimed to systematically review risk prediction models for PTSD in family members of ICU patients, to make recommendations for health care professionals in selecting appropriate predictive models.

Background: Understanding resilience factors in children is essential for developing early mental health interventions. Middle childhood is an understudied developmental stage, with many quantitative measures lacking validation for this age group and not capturing diverse experiences. This study aimed to use body mapping, an arts-based method, as a novel approach to understand 7-10-year-old children's concepts of resilience (including definitions and factors that contribute to resilience) in East London.
