| challenges encountered using standard vector control measures for dengue in boa vista, brazil. | in 2010, dengue virus (denv) serotype-4 was detected during a dengue outbreak in the amazonian city of boa vista. at that time brazil was already endemic for denv-1, denv-2 and denv-3. this was the first time denv-4 was observed in the country after it was initially detected and eliminated in 1981. | 2014 | 25378760 |
| replication of boid inclusion body disease-associated arenaviruses is temperature sensitive in both boid and mammalian cells. | boid inclusion body disease (bidb) is a fatal disease of boid snakes, the etiology of which has only recently been revealed following the identification of several novel arenaviruses in diseased snakes. bibd-associated arenaviruses (bibdav) are genetically divergent from the classical old and new world arenaviruses and also differ substantially from each other. even though there is convincing evidence that bibdav are indeed the etiological agent of bibd, the bibdav reservoir hosts--if any exist ... | 2014 | 25378485 |
| stone anvil damage by wild bearded capuchins (sapajus libidinosus) during pounding tool use: a field experiment. | we recorded the damage that wild bearded capuchin monkeys (sapajus libidinosus) caused to a sandstone anvil during pounding stone tool use, in an experimental setting. the anvil was undamaged when set up at the fazenda boa vista (fbv) field laboratory in piauí, brazil, and subsequently the monkeys indirectly created a series of pits and destroyed the anvil surface by cracking palm nuts on it. we measured the size and rate of pit formation, and recorded when adult and immature monkeys removed loo ... | 2014 | 25372879 |
| spectral analysis of two coupled diatomic rotor molecules. | in a previous article the theory of frame transformation relation between body oriented angular (boa) states and lab weakly coupled states (lwc) was developed to investigate simple rotor-rotor interactions. by analyzing the quantum spectrum for two coupled diatomic molecules and comparing it with spectrum and probability distribution of simple models, evidence was found that, as we move from a lwc state to a strongly coupled state, a single rotor emerges in the strong limit. in the low coupling, ... | 2014 | 25353181 |
| effect of biometric variables on two-dimensional echocardiographic measurements in the red-tailed boa (boa constrictor constrictor). | the effects of body biometrics on cardiac measurements and description of cardiac anatomy were performed in red-tailed boas (boa constrictor constrictor) (n = 29) using real-time b-mode ultrasonography. statistical comparison of measured cardiac metrics according to sex and body measurements demonstrated no significant difference between sexes but a highly significant linear increase between body length and mass and all cardiac metrics. | 2014 | 25314841 |
