Preliminary Study on Acoustic Characteristics of Ips grandicollis Larvae

[Objectives]The paper was to analyze the acoustic characteristics of Ips grandicollis larvae by pest acoustic detection technology,and to provide some reference for quarantine identification of pest larvae at ports.[Methods]The trial was performed in a self-invented insect sound recording container with good sound insulation effect.I.grandicollis larvae were placed separately on split P.ponderosa logs to observe and record the activities of larvae.AED-2010 was used for signal acquisition and SP-1 probe was used to collect signals at a distance of 5 cm from the larvae.The activity signals of larvae were intercepted,and the signal de-noising was further processed by Goldwave software.Finally,the acoustic signals were carried out correlation analysis by using MATLAB toolbox.[Results]I.grandicollis larvae had more regular feeding acoustic signal characteristics than crawling acoustic signal characteristics,and the two types of acoustic signal characteristics were quite different.The duration of feeding acoustic signal pulse of I.grandicollis larvae was 50-85 ms,the frequency was less than 1 KHz,and the signal frequency was mainly distributed in the range of 510.00-620.20 Hz.There was no obvious law in time domain features of larval crawling acoustic signals and the signal frequency was low,which was below 0.6 KHz and was mainly distributed in the range of 258.00-530.00 Hz.[Conclusions]It is feasible to carry out quarantine identification of I.grandicollis larvae by using feeding acoustic signals.It is suggested to select the feeding acoustic signals with obvious characteristics in the sound monitoring and identification of pests.

Community Incidence Estimates of Five Pathogens Based on Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance—China,2023

What is already known about this topic?Foodborne diseases,representing significant food safety and public health challenges globally,are not welldocumented in terms of incidence,particularly for cases characterized by acute gastroenteritis(AGI)in China.What is added by this report?This study developed a pyramid model to estimate the incidence of five pathogens,stratified by gender and age.The estimated incidences per 100,000 people with 95%uncertainty intervals(UI)are as follows:Norovirus,3,188.28(95%UI:2,518.03,7,296.96);Salmonella spp.,1,295.59(95%UI:1,002.62,1,573.11);diarrheagenic E.coli(DEC),782.62(95%UI:651.19,932.05);Vibrio parahaemolyticus,404.06(95%UI:342.19,468.93);and Shigella spp.,26.73(95%UI:21.05,33.46).What are the implications for public health practice?This study elucidates the incidence rates across various gender and age groups,thereby identifying priority populations for targeted preventive interventions aimed at reducing disease burden.These insights are crucial for the development of public health policies and management of food safety risks.
