Non-bovine milk(s) and their dairy products are showing a rise in market demand as they are gaining consumers’ attention. Non-bovine milk serves as an important source of nutrition and sustenance for populations in difficult climatic and geographical regions. Milk from different non-bovine species is known to have several nutritional and therapeutic values. Thus, it becomes important to study the composition and constituents of non-bovine milk(s) and their products with respect to microbial load and post-translational modifications of proteins in human health applications. The cheeses and fermented milk products produced from non-bovine milk are widely distributed across a large variety of climatic and geographical areas. Non-bovine milk proteomics is being analysed to know the role of milk proteins and peptides in metabolism, immune regulation and disease pathways for application in nutraceutical and drug development. Therapeutic proteins for human use are being produced in the “goat model” as a bio-reactor. The biological potential of milk is manifold as it is transformed into various products with specific nutritive and health-promoting values. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to review different aspects of non-bovine milk(s) in nutrition, traditional dairy product, milk proteome, bioactive peptides, microbiota and antimicrobial resistance due to intensive production for diverse applications and better economic impact in different regions.

Undernourishment and food insecurity are still challenges threatening poor urban and rural communities. Approximately 12% of the global population faced severe food insecurity in 2020, representing 928 million people. A significant fraction of the world’s land surface is covered by drylands, and this proportion is expected to increase in the future, affecting the food security and livelihood of 2 billion people due to climate change. Goats have traditionally been a significant asset and source of protein for rural communities inhabiting arid and semiarid regions of the world. We hypothesize that goats were intentionally selected by communities in dry environments and might be the optimal animal to breed in the future due to their capability to survive in dry environments and to utilize less water than other livestock production systems. However, it must be considered that only a small fraction (1%–2%) of the total water consumed by goats is drunk or utilized directly by the animals. Most of the water consumed is utilized to grow the feed that livestock such as goats consumes. Which in most regions of the world is green water due to goats feed on the vegetation that grows in rainfed rangelands. Increasing water efficiency in goat production is thus critical in the context of increasing water scarcity and desertification. However, there is little research on goat water productivity and the impact of decreasing water security on the sustainability of goat production and, hence, on the livelihoods in small communities in developing countries. Therefore, the impact of increasing water scarcity and desertification on goat production in rainfed lands should be a research priority.

Respiratory tract diseases are responsible for major economic losses in the poultry industry. Avian metapneumovirus is a pathogen that causes acute infections in the upper airways of turkeys and chickens, is associated with Swollen Head Syndrome, and generates variable morbidity between 1% and 20% in chickens. Turkey Rhinotracheitis has a morbidity of up to 100%. The frequent presence of secondary agents or infections associated with other microorganisms can aggravate the syndrome. The clinical diagnosis itself is not sufficient to determine metapneumovirus infections since the disease can be confused with other respiratory problems. Serological methods such as seroneutralisation, immunofluorescence and ELISA, immunohistochemistry, virus isolation from embryonated eggs or tissue cultures and PCR are the main techniques used in the diagnosis of avian metapneumovirus infections. Therefore, a laboratory diagnosis confirming the presence of this pathogen is necessary. Currently, several methods are available, with varying applications and sensitivity. This work describes the current diagnostic methods and presents their advantages and limitations.

Delta regions occupy a small proportion of the earth’s surface area, yet they are home to more than 500 million people. While numerous regional studies have examined the prevalence and the determinants of food security in specific delta and coastal regions, there is still a paucity of systematic analysis on the food security indicators commonly used by scientists and policymakers. To fill this gap, we carried out a systematic review using Covidence, a Cochrane-adopted systematic review processing software. Only scientific papers were considered for review, and the search was conducted in the following databases: SCOPUS, Thomson Reuters Web of Science, Science Direct, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. Following screening for duplicates, relevance, and full-text eligibility, 80 articles were retained for review. In total, 143 different food security indicators were identified (excluding duplicates), with measures of food availability featuring in 27% of reviewed papers. In contrast, indicators capturing the stability of food security were the least commonly applied (8% of reviewed papers). Furthermore, we find a weak level of alignment between deltaic food security indicators and the SDG 2 indicators, only two targets and their indicators were directly aligned in the papers reviewed. Therefore, in order to achieve the aspirational goal of zero hunger in delta regions and worldwide, we suggest researchers and policymakers directly align their choice of food security indicators with those of SDG 2, whilst simultaneously increasing the diversity of indicators to better capture the utilization and stability of food security in an ever-changing and more chaotic climate.
三角洲地区只占地球表面积的一小部分,却居住着5亿多人口。虽然许多区域研究调查了特定三角洲和沿海地区粮食安全的普遍性和决定因素,但科学家和政策制定者常用的粮食安全指标仍然缺乏系统分析。为了填补这一空白,我们使用cochrane采用的系统评价处理软件covid - ence进行了系统评价。仅考虑科学论文进行审查,并在以下数据库中进行搜索:SCOPUS, Thomson Reuters Web of Science, Science Direct, ProQuest和Google Scholar。在对重复、相关性和全文资格进行筛选后,80篇文章被保留以供审查。总共确定了143个不同的粮食安全指标(不包括重复指标),其中27%的被审查论文以粮食可获得性指标为特色。相比之下,反映粮食安全稳定性的指标最不常用(占审评论文的8%)。此外,我们发现三角洲粮食安全指标与可持续发展目标2指标之间的一致性较弱,在所审查的论文中,只有两个目标及其指标直接一致。因此,为了在三角洲地区和全球范围内实现零饥饿的理想目标,我们建议研究人员和政策制定者直接将粮食安全指标的选择与可持续发展目标2保持一致,同时增加指标的多样性,以更好地反映在不断变化和更加混乱的气候下粮食安全的利用和稳定性。

Infrared thermography (IRT) is a tool that has been studied extensively in the experimental medical field as a method for assessing surface thermal responses under various conditions. These may involve local inflammatory processes resulting from surgical procedures, wounds, neoplasms, pathologies, painful events, or stressful states in animals. IRT measures changes in blood flow in surface blood capillaries and the resulting heat radiation. In the clinical field, thermography has been used as a support method for detecting painful conditions. However, some guidelines indicate that it could be applied for assessing and monitoring animals in rehabilitation to quantify objectively possible improvements in their quality of life. Similarly, it has been observed that IRT makes it possible to assess the degree of circulation in dermal tissue, suggesting that it could be used to determine the degree of damage in traumatized tissue in cases of thromboembolic diseases and burns. This would be useful to distinguish between damaged and healthy tissue and thus determine the optimal therapy for burn patients. This review aims to analyze scientific evidence on the clinical applications of IRT for detecting diseases and assessing painful conditions. A literature search on different databases was performed to recover articles related to the application of IRT as a complementary diagnostic tool, as well as its potential for assisting in rehabilitation, monitoring wounds, and evaluating body temperature in domestic animals.

Nigerian indigenous chickens (NICs) have undergone several years of natural selection and still maintain their natural behavioural repertoire close to that of the red jungle fowl. The three common genotypes of the NICs are normal, frizzle and naked neck, with the normal feather closest to the red jungle fowl and consisting of >90% of the population. Currently, there is scanty information on the behaviour of NIC. This review will focus on various behaviours of NICs such as feeding/foraging, sexual, nesting, egg-laying, brooding, maternal care, vocalization, and sleeping. Special behavioural cases such as cock-hen preference and mixed brooding are also discussed. We also present here for the first time some preliminary vocalization characteristics of NICs. Comparisons of the behaviours of NICs, their ancestor red jungle fowl, and other native chickens are also made. The information obtained from this review will help chicken farmers to manage their birds better. Also, information obtained from this review contributes to the field of chicken behavioural science, since behaviours are linked with welfare issues in chickens.

This review aims to summarise existing research on the forest-based pedagogical approach known as forest school, as developed in the UK. Modelled on the nature kindergartens of northern Europe, forest school is popular in the UK and is now being practiced or explored in other countries around the world. Drawing on papers specifically researching forest school, identified through the Scopus database, it identifies and reviews key themes emerging from the literature: research on its development, relationship to classroom teaching and the national curriculum, impact on children’s development, and their relationship to the environment and environmental behaviour. It identifies the challenges and tensions emerging in the practice of forest school, between the performative agenda of schools and the alternative learning approaches embedded in forest school praxis. It summarises the attempts by several authors to develop theoretical models of forest school. It discusses the transferability of this forest education practice to new cultures, environments and educational systems. Finally, it concludes by identifying challenges for further research.

Water insecurity—the lack of access to sufficient, safe water to meet all household needs—is an escalating challenge in all world regions. It is also associated with unfavorable mental health outcomes, like anxiety and depression. Often situated in the context of drought or general water scarcity, connections between water and mental health often manifest out of the unique characteristics of water—as an important economic and household resource, and one managed primarily by women. This article identifies recognized and theorized pathways between water insecurity and common mental health conditions, as mediated by broader socioeconomic systems in which households are embedded. To this end, we synthesize and connect different literature sets, including limited economic studies in a resource insecurity framework and a small but authoritative body of ethnographic literature. Our review identifies multiple proximate candidate pathways connecting water insecurity with mental health outcomes including community conflicts and/or perceived injustice around water sharing and upkeep, agricultural decline and unemployment, food insecurity or distress migration, decreased water intake, non-exposure to blue spaces, and stress around water management. The gendered role of water management is an overlapping theme across pathways, exposing women disproportionately to forms of conflict, violence, and injustice associated with the risk of common mental illness. In general, there are varied forms of marginalization that people experience within water-insecure contexts. Greater engagement between economics and other disciplines can lend additional theoretical pathways to empirically test the water and mental health connections, associated with people’s water insecurity experiences.

Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an acute disease of ungulate livestock and wildlife as well as humans caused by the Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV), which can be transmitted by arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes as well as by direct contact with infected tissues. Outbreaks of this virus may lead to widespread mortality and morbidity in susceptible ungulates and humans, with pronounced economic and agricultural impacts. Humans infected with RVFV can develop extremely high viremias capable of infecting vectors such as mosquitoes. Critically, RVFV has potential for globalization resulting from the movement of infected humans into non-endemic regions containing populations of potentially competent mosquito vectors and susceptible livestock and wildlife hosts that include the US, Asia, and parts of southern Europe. In this review, we explore scenarios of escape of RVFV from its endemic range that could be caused by the movement of infected humans. The risks of globalization of the RVFV pathogen into Europe, Asia, and the Americas is high and increasing each year because of climate change, redistribution and expanding ranges of vector and host species, lack of an approved human vaccine, insecticide resistance, and international travel and commerce. We discuss approaches that could be used to mitigate these avenues of spread that include surveillance targeted by environmental modeling coupled with decisive vector control.

Critically, RVFV has potential for globalization resulting from the movement of infected humans into non-endemic regions containing populations of potentially competent mosquito vectors and susceptible livestock and wildlife hosts that include the US, Asia, and parts of southern Europe. In this review, we explore scenarios of escape of RVFV from its endemic range that could be caused by the movement of infected humans. The risks of globalization of the RVFV pathogen into Europe, Asia, and the Americas is high and increasing each year because of climate change, redistribution and expanding ranges of vector and host species, lack of an approved human vaccine, insecticide resistance, and international travel and commerce. We discuss approaches that could be used to mitigate these avenues of spread that include surveillance targeted by environmental modeling coupled with decisive vector control.","PeriodicalId":399225,"journal":{"name":"CABI Reviews","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131214021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Termite baiting has evolved as a successful method of control globally. The methods hold significance as climate change, urbanization and international trade are spreading termites across the globe. The methodology uses minimal insecticide, precise application, and kills the colony compared to the soil treatment method. The subject is well reviewed, and the intent of this mini review is to provide updated information on some of the critical aspects of this technology, such as bait efficacy and criteria for evaluating colony elimination.
