The European wheat stem sawfly (Cephus pygmeus) and the closely related wheat stem sawfly (Cephus cinctus) cause significant damage to winter cereals, such as; wheat, oats, cereal rye, barley, triticale, and also feed on other grasses such as wild oats, wheat grass, brome grasses and timothies. The European wheat stem sawfly is an 8-10 mm long, black and yellow coloured wasp. (Plant Health Australia. 2024.

Fascioliasis is an infectious disease caused by Fasciola parasites, which are flat worms referred to as liver flukes. The adult (mature) flukes are found in the bile ducts and liver of infected people and animals, such as sheep and cattle.

A talik is a layer or body of unfrozen ground that occurs in permafrost due to an anomaly in thermal, hydrologic, or hydrochemical conditions. These unfrozen sediments or talik may extend many tens of meters.

Lipid infiltration of the hepatic parenchymal cells resulting in a yellow-colored liver. The abnormal lipid accumulation is usually in the form of triglycerides, either as a single large droplet or multiple small droplets. Fatty liver is caused by an imbalance in the metabolism of fatty acids. (https://lod.nal.usda.gov/nalt/39620)
