The Anopheles coluzzii range extends into Kenya: detection, insecticide resistance profiles and population genetic structure in relation to conspecific populations in West and Central Africa
Background Anopheles coluzzii is a primary vector of malaria found in West and Central Africa, but its presence has hitherto never been documented in Kenya. A thorough understanding of vector bionomics is important as it enables the implementation of targeted and effective vector control interventions. Malaria vector surveillance efforts in the country have tended to focus on historically known primary vectors. The current study sought to determine the taxonomic status of samples collected from...

Visualizing The Size Of The Global Senior Population
Visualizing The Size Of The Global Senior Population The growth of the senior population is a consequence of the demographic transition towards longer and healthier lives. Population aging, however, can pose economic and social challenges. Here, Visual Capitalist's Marcus Lu maps the size of the world’s population aged 65+ for 1980, 2021, and 2050 (projected). The data is from the World Social Report 2023 by the United Nations. Global Aging Currently, population aging is most...

As the seal population grows, more are entangled in waste
The three big seal rescue centres along the Dutch coast have dealt with 35 seals this year, which have become entangled in fishing nets or other litter, the Volkskrant reported on Tuesday. In an average year, the centres help some 40 seals in total. The problem is particularly an issue for young seals who “grow” into whatever they have become caught up in. “It does not expand with them and that leads to fatal trauma to the airways and blood
