Knowledge, Attitude and Practices of Vector-Borne Disease Prevention during the Emergence of a New Arbovirus: Implications for the Control of Chikungunya Virus in French Guiana.

BACKGROUND:During the last decade, French Guiana has been affected by major dengue fever outbreaks.Although this arbovirus has been a focus of many awareness campaigns, very little information is available about beliefs, attitudes and behaviors regarding vector-borne diseases among the population of French Guiana.During the first outbreak of the ch

Automatic ladybird beetle detection using deep-learning models.

Fast and accurate taxonomic identification of invasive trans-located ladybird beetle species is essential to prevent significant impacts on biological communities, ecosystem functions, and agricultural business economics.Therefore, in this work we propose a two-step automatic detector for ladybird beetles in random environment images as the first s

Complex dynamics near extinction in a predator-prey model with ratio dependence and Holling type III functional response

In this paper, we analyze a recently proposed predator-prey model with ratio dependence and Holling type III functional response, with particular emphasis on Queen Slat Platform Bed the dynamics close to extinction.By using Briot-Bouquet transformation we transform the model into a system, where the extinction steady state is represented by up to t
