Stutsman County 4-H held its Communication Arts/Project Expo Contest on April 25 at the NDSU Extension Stutsman County office. Eighteen 4-H’ers gathered for the day to exhibit their expo tables and/or their communication skills.
There were 11 participants in the Project Expo Contest. This is a display about a project that the member has researched and/or performed, using posters, pictures and small examples carefully arranged on a card table.

About one billion people worldwide are at risk for schistosomiasis a debilitating disease caused by parasitic worms that live in fresh water and in intermediate snail hosts. A new study finds that the transmission risk for schistosomiasis peaks when water warms to 21.7 degrees centigrade, and that the most effective interventions should include snail removal measures implemented when the temperature is below that risk threshold.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published the results, led by Emory University, the University of South Florida and the University of Florida.
Global warming likely to increase disease risk for animals worldwide

Newswise Changes in climate can increase infectious disease risk in animals, researchers found with the possibility that these diseases could spread to humans, they warn.
The study, conducted by scientists at the University of Notre Dame, University of South Florida and University of Wisconsin-Madison, supports a phenomenon known as “thermal mismatch hypothesis,” which is the idea that the greatest risk for infectious disease in cold climate-adapted animals – such as polar bears – occurs as temperatures rise, while the risk for animals living in warmer climates occurs as temperatures fall.
