Keratinous substance rich soil is most conducive for keratinophilic fungi growth and occurrence.Dermatophytes and other related fungi are potential pathogens causing human and animal dermatomycoses.Herein, this study went for screening the presence of dermatophytes and related keratinophilic fungi in various soil samples collected from different lo
Abstract Background Ghana is renowned for its sibling species diversity of the Simulium damnosum complex, vectors of Onchocerca volvulus.Detailed entomological knowledge becomes a priority as onchocerciasis control policy has shifted from morbidity reduction to elimination of infection.To date, understanding of transmission dynamics of O.volvulus h
This paper proposes a hyperspectral soil nutrient estimation method based on the bat algorithm (BA)-AdaBoost model.The spectral reflectance, the first derivative of the reflectance, and the reciprocal logarithm of the reflectance are analyzed based on the 800 field soil samples and their hyperspectral data collected.The first derivative of the reci
