Use insect repellents with an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered active ingredient, such as: DEET, picaridin, IR3535, or oil of lemon eucalyptus or para-menthane-diol to prevent mosquito bites . (cdc.gov)
The viruses are transferred to the host when bitten by a female mosquito. (medscape.com)
Saliva2
During the study period, we identified 126 cases of animal bites or serious exposures (involving animal neural tissue or saliva affecting the mucosal surfaces or open wounds of the patient). (cdc.gov)
The virus is transferred from the infected female mosquito's salivary gland by means of saliva introduced into a bite wound during a blood meal. (medscape.com)
Teeth1
They wield powerful jaws, massive teeth, and possess a temperament one should not underestimate. (animalsaroundtheglobe.com)
Predators3
Our FEA simulations indicate that Z. varolai exerted an anterior bite force of more than 4000 N and a posterior bite force of more than 10000 N. These values are similar to those estimated for other marine predators known for their powerful bite. (researchgate.net)
These remarkable yet terrifying beings challenge our perception of predators and force us to reconsider our stance on what it truly means to be a formidable creature. (animalsaroundtheglobe.com)
These apex predators, which roam Southeast Asia , Northern Australia, and the surrounding islands, represent an intimidating force. (animalsaroundtheglobe.com)
Jaws3
Neither its bite force, nor how such force might be delivered using relatively elastic cartilaginous jaws, have been quantified or described. (researchgate.net)
We have digitally reconstructed the jaws of a white shark to estimate maximum bite force and examine relationships among their three-dimensional geometry, material properties and function. (researchgate.net)
Although the shark's cartilaginous jaws undergo considerably greater deformation than would jaws constructed of bone, effective bite force is not greatly diminished. (researchgate.net)
Dogs1
Dogs were implicated in 50% of these bites, but several other animals pose risk as well. (cdc.gov)
People2
I would never underestimate the power of people to demand this of our corporate people. (ceda.com.au)
People underestimate the injuries a dog can cause when it bites someone. (mkplc.com)
Powerful1
Considering the significant difference observed between the anterior and posterior bite forces, Z. varolai likely fed via 'grip-and-shear' feeding, snapping the food items with an anterior bite and then cutting them with a powerful posterior bite. (researchgate.net)
Greater2
We predict that bite force in large white sharks may exceed c. 1.8 tonnes, the highest known for any living species, and suggest that forces may have been an order of magnitude greater still in the gigantic fossil species Carcharodon megalodon. (researchgate.net)
A larger voltage exerts a greater force, which moves more electrons through the wire at a given rate of time. (medscape.com)
People2
People underestimate the injuries a dog can cause when it bites someone. (mkplc.com)
People not counted in the labour force soared 753k in the past two months. (blogspot.com)
Cases1
More than 35,000 cases and 10,000 deaths are reported annually from the region but official reports undoubtedly underestimate the true number of cases (1,2,3). (cdc.gov)
Risk1
We evaluated these records to identify and describe monkey bites and high-risk exposures among US military members serving in eastern Afghanistan during September-December 2011. (cdc.gov)
Input1
Aside from a bit of throttle-lag during the initial input to keep takeoffs manageable, the throttle response is exacting. (ultimatemotorcycling.com)
