Basil and other strongly scented herbs naturally repel thrips, while flowering plants, like yarrow, dill, and parsley, attract ladybugs and other thrip predators. Growing these plant companions ...
SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, was first introduced to humans through zoonosis (transmission of a pathogen to a human from an animal), and a zoonotic spillover event is the origin of SARS-CoV-2 that is considered most plausible by the scientific community.
The generic and English name thrips is a direct transliteration of the Ancient Greek word θρίψ, thrips, meaning "woodworm". [4] Like some other animal-names (such as sheep, deer, and moose) in English the word "thrips" expresses both the singular and plural, so there may be many thrips or a single thrips.

Because the damage they cause is similar to multiple types of insects and disease-causing pathogens, growers tried to treat them with traditional insecticides that work on other thrips species and ...
Dozens of captive animal species have been found infected or proven able to be experimentally infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The virus has also been found in over a dozen wild animal species. Most animal species that can get the virus have not been proven to be able to spread it back to humans.
From the early outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, rumors and speculation arose about the possible lab origins of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of the COVID-19 disease.. Different versions of the lab origin hypothesis present different scenarios in which a bat-borne progenitor of SARS-CoV-2 may have spilled over to humans, including a laboratory-acquired infection of a natural or engineered vir
For this winter’s COVID-19 surge, Justman says that hospitalizations are expected to peak at a rate higher than during this past summer’s surge but probably lower than during last winter's ...
