Mapping the social network: tracking lice in a wild primate (Microcebus rufus) population to infer social contacts and vector potential

Abstract Background Studies of host-parasite interactions have the potential to provide insights into the ecology of both organisms involved.We monitored the movement of sucking lice (Lemurpediculus verruculosus), parasites that require direct host-host contact to be transferred, in their host population of wild mouse lemurs Door Hinge Connector (M

Recent advances in operational tropical cyclone genesis forecast

Tropical cyclone (TC) genesis prediction is a major scientific challenge to the TC operation and research community.This report surveys the current status of TC genesis forecasts by a number of major operational centers covering the key ocean basins across both hemispheres.Since Bracelet IWTC-9, we see an emergence of probabilistic TC genesis forec
