Webinar: Climate Services for Smallholder Farmers and Pastoralists in AfricaCCAFS | CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security
The indigenous weather forecasting system of the Borana people relies on both abiotic and biotic indicators observed in nature. Forecast information is disseminated through forecasters called Uchu and Urgi Elaltus to allow socioeconomic preparations. Research found the indigenous forecasts to have credibility among the Borana people based on long-term observation of the environment. The forecasts are important for the pastoralist livelihoods as they inform decisions around agriculture, rangeland management, and herd size based on anticipated climate.The role of government, donors, NGOs in voluntary certification scheme in Malawi
1) The document discusses the roles of NGOs, government, and donors in ensuring a high quality supply of tree planting materials in Malawi. It outlines the planting material supply chain process.
2) Key steps that have been taken include launching a voluntary certification scheme, developing minimum standards for tree seedlings, and training nursery operators and inspectors. However, enforcing compulsory certification remains a challenge due to high costs.
3) To improve the supply of quality planting materials, the document recommends that nursery operators obtain voluntary certification, while government, donors, and NGOs should only procure from certified sources.

This document provides guidance on writing effective test questions for online test engines. It begins with an overview of the topics to be covered, including test engine challenges, writing scenarios and questions, response options, and quality assurance. Specific tips are given for writing one-paragraph scenarios, questions with a single correct answer, and three plausible distractor responses. Strategies are outlined for validating the preferred response and checking for hints. The importance of using plain language and avoiding technical jargon is emphasized. Test writers are encouraged to prototype questions in test engines and get feedback to improve question quality before publishing. The goal is to leave with concrete tools for crafting valid, reliable test questions.

English iii rico the dog
Rico is a border collie who can understand over 200 words. Experiments showed that Rico could correctly retrieve toys when asked for by name 37 out of 40 times. Remarkably, Rico could also remember toy names for up to a month after only being introduced to them once. Rico's learning ability is equivalent to a three-year old child, as he can perform simple logic to identify new toys and link their names to sounds. Border collies are considered highly intelligent dogs and Rico's early training may have further enhanced his exceptional ability to understand human language.

Fazd Bovine Babesia Paper
Bovine babesiosis, also known as tick fever, is a disease of cattle caused by protozoa transmitted by ticks that infect and destroy red blood cells. The disease leads to anemia, jaundice, red or brown urine, neurological issues, and death in over 50% of exposed cattle. It was once widespread in the US but was eradicated through regulatory programs in 1943. However, the ticks and pathogens remain in Mexico and occasional incursions into the US continue to threaten the American cattle industry.

This document discusses innovative approaches to green fodder production promotion in India. It notes that fodder production and livestock feeding are critical for dairy development but past promotion efforts faced challenges. A project in Bidar district established fodder nurseries with multiple varieties and trained farmers. This led to increased fodder production area and yield over time among participating farmers. It also motivated other farmers to adopt fodder cultivation through distributing root slips and cuttings, demonstrating horizontal diffusion of the practices. Participating farmers now prefer fodder cultivation due to its benefits.

Heartwater currently affects ruminants in parts of Africa and the Caribbean and is transmitted by Amblyomma ticks. It poses a threat to the US as the main vector tick species, Amblyomma variegatum, has spread to 14 Caribbean islands, and cattle egrets that host immature Amblyomma ticks migrate between the Caribbean and southeastern US. Additionally, the Gulf Coast tick found in the southeastern US may be a competent vector. If introduced, heartwater could have a major economic impact as there are no effective treatments or vaccines.Anaplasmosis
Anaplasmosis is a zoonotic disease caused by the bacteria Anaplasmaphagocytophilum. It is transmitted through tick bites, with common reservoir hosts being deer, elk, and rodents. Symptoms in humans include fever, headache, and muscle aches. In animals, signs may include fever, lethargy, lameness, and decreased appetite. Diagnosis involves antibody detection or PCR tests. Treatment is with tetracycline antibiotics. Anaplasmosis poses a public health risk and an economic impact on livestock.

Bovine babesiosis, also known as cattle fever, is caused by the protozoan parasites Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina. It is transmitted by ticks of the genus Rhipicephalus, primarily R. microplus and R. annulatus. The disease caused major economic losses to the cattle industry in the southern United States in the late 19th century. While tick eradication programs were successful in eliminating the disease from most of the US, it continues to be a threat where cattle and ticks interact along the US-Mexico border. Effective vaccines and approved anti-babesial drugs for cattle in the US are still lacking.Fazd heartwater power point module final sept 2011

Anaplasmosis is a zoonotic disease caused by bacteria in the genus Anaplasma that is transmitted between hosts by tick bites. The document focuses on Anaplasma phagocytophilum, which infects both livestock and wild animals like cattle, deer, horses, dogs and humans. It is transmitted by the blacklegged tick Ixodes scapularis. Diagnostic tests and the appearance of the tick at different life stages are discussed.
Anaplasmosis Poster
Anaplasmosis is a zoonotic disease caused by bacteria in the genus Anaplasma that is transmitted via tick bites. The document focuses on Anaplasma phagocytophilum, which affects livestock and wild animals in the United States and can cause human granulocytic anaplasmosis. Ticks of the species Ixodes scapularis and I. pacificus spread the pathogen between hosts. Clinical signs vary depending on the infected species but include fever, lethargy, decreased appetite and milk production, and respiratory issues. Diagnosis involves antibody detection, PCR testing of blood, or identifying the bacteria in blood smears. Treatment is usually with doxycycline
Dengue Fever Poster
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease that infects 50-100 million people annually worldwide. It is transmitted through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes. While there is no vaccine or cure, symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, and skin rash can be treated with acetaminophen and intravenous fluids. In rare cases, dengue fever can progress to life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome involving bleeding, low blood pressure, and circulatory collapse. Prevention focuses on eliminating mosquito breeding sites and reducing exposure through protective clothing and insect repellents.
Fazd equine piroplasmosis
Equine Piroplasmosis is an emerging tick-borne disease of equids that can cause over 50% mortality in naïve animals. It was eradicated from the US in the 1980s but outbreaks have occurred since 2008, threatening the US horse industry. The pathogens, Babesia caballi and Theileria equi, are transmitted by ticks and cause fever, anemia, and jaundice in horses. Prevention relies on acaricide application and inspecting horses for ticks. No vaccine currently exists so control focuses on limiting tick exposure and testing/quarantining imported and high-risk horses.

Equine Piroplasmosis is a tick-borne disease of equids caused by the pathogens Theileria equi and Babesia caballi. It is transmitted by ticks and can also spread via blood transfusions or contaminated equipment. Clinical signs range from mild to severe including fever, jaundice, and anemia. Diagnosis involves examining blood smears for the pathogens or conducting serological tests. Prevention focuses on reducing tick exposure through acaricide use and vegetation management as there is no vaccine. Treatment options depend on whether the country or region is endemic for the disease.

Bovine babesiosis, also known as tick fever, is a disease of cattle caused by protozoa transmitted by ticks that infect and destroy red blood cells. The disease leads to anemia, jaundice, red or brown urine, neurological symptoms, and death in over 50% of exposed cattle. It was a major problem in the US until an eradication program eliminated the ticks carrying the pathogens by 1943. However, the disease remains a threat if the ticks are reintroduced from Mexico or exotic ungulates carrying infected ticks spread them to cattle herds.Fazd bovine babesiosis final slideshow 29 jul

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Extension activities in support of fever tick education
- 1. Texas Agrilife Extension Activities in Support of Fever Tick Education Joe C. Paschal Livestock Specialist Texas AgriLife Extension
- 2. County Extension Programs • In collaboration with the TAHC, since 2007 19 County Extension Agents have conducted 29 educational meetings where the fever tick situation was presented – 2007 9 meetings (167 attendees) – 2008 10 meetings (179 attendees) – 2009 10 meetings as of 10/01/09 (404 attendees) – One meeting in Bastrop Co. reported an 86% increase in knowledge of the situation (2009)
- 3. Counties Reporting Fever Tick Eradication Educational Efforts • Bastrop • Jack • Bexar • Jim Wells (2) • Caldwell • Jim Hogg (2) • Dallas • Limestone • Dimmitt • Maverick (2) • Duval • Presidio • Frio • Starr (2) • Guadalupe • Victoria • Hidalgo • Webb (3) • Zapata (4)
- 4. Other County Extension Efforts • In addition to county educational programs County Extension Agents have produced numerous news letters or news releases, conducted ranch visits and assisted elected officials or agencies engaged in the fever tick eradication effort
- 5. Regional and Statewide Extension Since 2007 • Livestock Specialists based in Uvalde and Corpus Christi have conducted over 24 educational programs with County Extension Agents in which the fever tick eradication issue was addressed to over 1,000 ranchers and landowners • The issue was also covered at 2008 and 2009 TAMU Beef Cattle Short Course to a total of over 2,800 participants • Texas AgriLife Research Center at Uvalde is planning a research project in Webb County to evaluate the potential for wildlife to carry fever and other ticks
- 6. Regional and Statewide Extension • In 2009, a joint effort among several agencies is producing two posters that will be widely distributed to increase awareness and education • One will enlist the aid of hunters in fever tick awareness and be distributed to hunting supply stores that sell licenses (ready to be sent) • The second will be directed at ranchers and landowners and will be displayed in livestock markets and County Extension offices through out the state (in process of development)
- 9. Concluding Comments • Ranchers in and along the PQZ and TQZ understand the fever tick problem and its associated costs – One rancher in Webb County documented a $165 per head cost to ranch in and along the PQZ (over and above usual cow costs) • New ranchers/landowners and hunters in South Texas often do not understand the implications of having the fever tick outside the PQZ • Ranchers outside the South Texas area have little understanding of the fever tick or the problems and costs of the eradication effort • Texas AgriLife County Extension Agents are assisting in the educational effort with other agency partners, especially the Texas Animal Health Commission
