Disease relevance of Tropical Climate

  • These results suggest that recent and past exposure to p,p'-DDT does not play an important role in the etiology of breast cancer among women living in a country with a tropical climate where insecticide use for mosquito control is common [1].
  • These properties together with the wide distribution of the plant, its resistance and adaptation to the tropical climate, its easy cultivation and the easy obtention of latex and preparation of the molluscicidal solution, make this a promising material for large-scale use in the control of schistosomiasis [2].
  • Etiology remains uncertain but differences in dietary intake, tropical climate, vitamin D activation, vitamin D receptor polymorphism, parathyroid gland sensitivity, and PTH target organ sensitivity may account for the difference in pattern in bone disease [3].
 

High impact information on Tropical Climate

 

Biological context of Tropical Climate

  • Cortisol concentration in blood plasma was measured in Brown Swiss, Holstein-Friesian, and White Fulani heifers over two consecutive estrous cycles during each of the four quarters of the hot humid seasonal tropical climate of Ibadan, Southern Nigeria. Basal cortisol in plasma was low (between 1 and 10 ng/ml) [9].

Associations of Tropical Climate with chemical compounds

  • Misoprostol is widely marketed around the world for its other indications and is inexpensive, stable in tropical climates, easy to transport, and simple to administer [11].
  • Removal of iron and manganese by artificial destratification in a tropical climate (Upper Layang Reservoir, Malaysia) [12].
  • Therefore traditional collection, landfill disposal and biogas recuperation to produce electricity is preferable in moist tropical climates [13].
  • The influence of season and shade on oestrous behaviour, timing of preovulatory LH surge and the pattern of progesterone secretion in FFPN and Creole heifers in a tropical climate [14].
