This study developed and validated a highly sensitive and specific TaqMan real-time PCR assay targeting the 28S rDNA of *Rhizoctonia theobromae*, enabling reliable detection of the pathogen in both symptomatic and asymptomatic cassava tissues to support improved surveillance and management of Cassava Witches' Broom Disease.
This retrospective study of over 1,300 veterinary enquiries reveals that adder envenoming in UK dogs and cats causes significant morbidity and a 4.9% fatality rate, while highlighting critical management challenges including diagnostic uncertainty and barriers to antivenom access that necessitate improved clinical guidance.
This study reveals that subclinical ketosis affects 28.57% of early-lactating Deoni cattle, with prevalence significantly influenced by age, parity, days postpartum, milk yield, and body condition score, but not by season or geographical location.
This study demonstrates that endophytic colonization of cotton plants by specific isolates of the fungus *Beauveria bassiana*, achieved through seed coating or foliar spraying, significantly reduces the survival and feeding damage caused by *Helicoverpa armigera* and *Haritalodes derogata* larvae, suggesting its potential as a component of integrated pest management in Benin.
This systematic review of 51 import risk assessment studies reveals that while formal trade pathways and pig-derived commodities are extensively analyzed for major diseases like ASFV and FMDV, significant gaps remain in assessing risks associated with informal trade and less common commodities, necessitating improved surveillance and international collaboration.
This study reveals that western flower thrips overwintering as eggs in weed litter, rather than as adults, drives rapid spring population rebuilding by producing a significantly higher number of offspring with superior developmental and reproductive traits, despite the negative maternal effects of low-temperature exposure.
A study conducted in Türkiye's Çarşamba District demonstrates that mechanical hazelnut harvesters significantly outperform both pneumatic harvesters and traditional manual methods by drastically reducing labor requirements and harvesting costs while maintaining high efficiency.
This study in Burkina Faso demonstrates that while sorghum yields are best preserved under small-diameter shea trees (less than 30 cm) or with intensive pruning, sweet potatoes thrive under larger shea canopies, offering a strategic crop diversification approach to optimize agroforestry parkland production without compromising shea conservation.
This study demonstrates that a single foliar application of 100 mM proline is more effective than ascorbic acid or combined treatments in alleviating salt-induced damage and significantly improving growth, yield, antioxidant activity, and ionic homeostasis in rice.
This study reports the first successful domestication and cultivation of the wild Zimbabwean mushroom *Cantherellus densifolius* (Nzevedzambuya), identifying optimal mycelial growth conditions on potato dextrose agar and achieving a 9% biological yield on a 50:50 sawdust and cotton hull substrate.
