COVID – 19 Pandemics: Impact, Interventions, Progress and Future Direction

Though the global health and socioeconomic crisis created by COVID–19withitsrapid spreading nature, high infectivity and fatality rate leading to impairment in human health, psychosocial life and world economy, mass fear of COVID – 19 (corona-phobia) appears forgotten in many countries of the world. Yet consciously or unconsciously the high economic burden, mass emotional distress and abundance of psychiatric manifestations are still being felt including the fear of future similar occurrence. This review investigated the health, psycho-socioeconomic impact and interventions aimed at addressing the menace forced upon the globe by COVID- 19 in order to bring to the fore, the future direction in combating any epidemic or pandemic in the world. We searched for literatures in PubMed, Google, Google scholar etc. using key words: COVID – 19, Pandemic, psycho-socioeconomic, Technology-utilization, Telemedicine for articles addressing the above subject matter. From over a thousand articles on COVID -19, we selected 58 articles that addressed the subject matter with global, regional and local perspectives included and utilizing same in writing this paper. We conclude that future pandemics can be tackled effectively by adopting a three-pronged approach: - public health, early preparedness, and involve-ment of the entire society as a unitary force.

Life history traits impact the nuclear rate of substitution but not the mitochondrial rate in isopods.

Alignements from the paper "Life history traits impact the nuclear rate of substitution but not the mitochondrial rate in isopods" submitted to Molecular Biology and Evolution.File "concatenation_382NuclearGenes.fas" corresponds to the concatenation of 382 nuclear genes for 26 Isopod species. File "concatenation_12MtGenes.fas" corresponds to the concatenation of 12 mitochondrial protein coding genes (cytb, cox1, cox2, cox3, atp6, nad1, nad2, nad3, nad4, nad4l, nad5, nad6 ). Genes were aligned with PRANK (Löytynoja and Goldman, 2008) and sites ambiguously aligned were removed with Gblocks (Castresana, 2000). File "Opsine1_cds.fas" corresponds to the alignement of the coding part of the Opsin 1 gene for 26 Isopod species. Intron has been removed as well as non-sens mutations. 26 Mitochondrial genomes: we reconstructed mitochondrial genomes using both the de novo transcriptome assemblies from Francois et al. (2016) and low coverage genome sequencing reads available for 22 species from Lef ebure et al. (2017). Since mitochondrial genomes are present in multiple copies per cell, a very low sequencing effort is sufficient to yield a high coverage for mitochondrial sequences. Using the DNA-seq reads, mitogenomes were assembled with MITObim (Hahn et al. 2013) using the COI gene as a seed to build the complete mitogenome. All annotated genome have been deposited in the ENA project PRJEB14193.

A Critical Review of the Impact of Climate Change on Food Security in Nigeria: A Vulnerability Assessment

This review explores the profound ramifications of climate change on food security in Nigeria through a comprehensive vulnerability assessment. As a nation heavily reliant on agriculture, Nigeria faces escalating challenges exacerbated by shifting climatic patterns. This study employs a multi-faceted approach to analyze the intricate interplay between climate change and food security, considering both current and projected impacts. Utilizing a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, the research evaluates the vulnerability of key agricultural regions, examining variations in temperature, precipitation, and extreme weather events. The findings underscore a heightened susceptibility of crop yields and livestock production to climatic anomalies, presenting a clear threat to the nation's food supply chain. Moreover, the study delves into the socio-economic dimensions of vulnerability, scrutinizing the adaptive capacity of local communities and the efficacy of existing policies. Identifying vulnerable populations and regions is crucial for targeted interventions and policy formulation. The study however, discusses potential adaptation strategies, emphasizing the importance of sustainable agricultural practices, climate-resilient crop varieties, and community-based initiatives.

Data for: Epidemiological landscape of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and its impact on amphibian diversity at global scale

Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is a major driver of amphibian decline worldwide. The global presence of Bd is driven by a synergy of factors, such as climate, species life history, and amphibian host susceptibility. Here, using a Bayesian data-mining approach, we modeled the epidemiological landscape of Bd to evaluate how infection varies across several spatial, ecological, and phylogenetic scales. We compiled global information on Bd occurrence, climate, species ranges, and phylogenetic diversity to infer the potential distribution and prevalence of Bd. By calculating the degree of co-distribution between Bd and our set of environmental and biological variables (e.g. climate and species), we identified the factors that could potentially be related to Bd presence and prevalence using a geographic correlation metric, epsilon (ε). We fitted five ecological models based on 1) amphibian species identity, 2) phylogenetic species variability values for a given species assemblage, 3) temperature, 4) precipitation and 5) all variables together. Our results extend the findings of previous studies by identifying the epidemiological landscape features of Bd. This ecological modeling framework allowed us to generate explicit spatial predictions for Bd prevalence at the global scale and a ranked list of species with high/low probability of Bd presence. Our geographic model identified areas with high potential for Bd prevalence (potential Bd-risk areas) and areas with low potential Bd prevalence as potential refuges (free Bd). At the amphibian assemblage level, we found a non-relationship with amphibian phylogenetic signals, but a significantly negative correlation between observed species richness and Bd prevalence indicated a potential dilution effect at the landscape scale. Our model may identify species and areas potentially susceptible and at risk for Bd presence, which could be used to prioritize regions for amphibian conservation efforts and to assess species and assemblage at risk.
