Inflammation of the mucosa of both the small intestine and the large intestine. Etiology includes ischemia, infections, allergic, and immune responses. (https://lod.nal.usda.gov/nalt/27879)
Beetles are insects that form the order Coleoptera in the superorder Holometabola. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. (Wikipedia, 2024. Beetle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beetle)
Waste materials generated onboard vessels (e.g. bilge water, waste water, solid wastes, hazardous materials, litter, oil/fuel/lubricants, fish wastes etc.) and which eventually need to be disposed of (onshore, at sea, incinerated etc.)
Papaya mosaic virus (PapMV) is a plant pathogenic virus in the genus Potexvirus and the family Alphaflexiviridae. PapMV is a filamentous, flexuous rod, 530 nm in length. Its principal host is papaya (Carica papaya). (Wikipedia, 2025. Papaya mosaic virus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papaya_mosaic_virus)
Baylisascaris procyonis, common name raccoon roundworm, is a roundworm nematode, found ubiquitously in raccoons, the definitive hosts. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baylisascaris_procyonis)
A fluidized bed is a physical phenomenon that occurs when a solid particulate substance (usually present in a holding vessel) is under the right conditions so that it behaves like a fluid. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluidized_bed)
Some parasites can cause a rare form of meningitis called eosinophilic meningitis, eosinophilic meningoencephalitis, or EM, with increased levels of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in the fluid around the brain and spinal cord (the cerebrospinal fluid; CSF). EM also can be caused by other types of infections (not just by parasites) and can have noninfectious causes, such as medications. (https://www.cdc.gov/meningitis/parasitic.html)
Irrigation management comprises all agricultural practices aimed at controlling the amount and timing of water application to cultivated crops, to meet crop needs and maximise their productive performances, especially during the most critical stages of crop development, while trying to preserve water sources.

The record derives from WCSP which reports it as an accepted name (record 300492) with original publication details: Fl. Orient. 5: 308 1884. (http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-300492)
Ornithophily or bird pollination is the pollination of flowering plants by birds. This coevolutionary association is derived from insect pollination (entomophily) and is particularly well developed in some parts of the world, especially in the tropics and on some island chains (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornithophily)
Waters deemed by law to form part of the public domain, as opposed to private water. They might include the territorial sea, groundwaters, as well as waterways, rivers, lakes and other water resources considered of public interest. (FAOLEX. 2025. Glossary https://www.fao.org/faolex/)
Wireworms, the larval stage of click beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae), are generalist herbivores and a voracious group of pests that are difficult to control. (Nikoukar, A.; Rashed, A. Integrated Pest Management of Wireworms (Coleoptera: Elateridae) and the Rhizosphere in Agroecosystems. Insects 2022, 13, 769. https://doi.org/10.3390/insects13090769)
The trot is a two-beat diagonal gait of the horse where the diagonal pairs of legs move forward at the same time with a moment of suspension between each beat. It has a wide variation in possible speeds, but averages about 8 miles per hour (13 km/h). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trot)
An eXpendable BathyThermograph (XBT) is a probe that is dropped from a ship and measures the temperature as it falls through the water. A resistance in the head of the probe and a very thin twin-wire, connecting the probe to the equipment on the ship, compose the electronic circuit for measuring the water temperature. The probe is designed to fall at a known rate, so that the depth of the temperature profile can be inferred from the time since it enters the water.
