: This study investigated the effects of abiotic factors on malaria parasite prevalence, morbidity in Taraba state, Nigeria. Using a retrospective study design, the study relied on secondary data obtained from Meteorological Station Taraba Monthly malaria morbidity had a significantly negative linear relationship with rainfall (r = -0.827, p = 0.001). Malaria morbidity for the decade increased at rates 0.298 per cent. This study provide information on the malaria situation in Taraba State which will be useful to the National Malaria Control Programmes and public health service providers in formulating policies that may promote the mitigation of malaria in Taraba State, Nigeria.

During space missions, astronauts are exposed to galactic cosmic radiation composed of α-particles, protons and particles of high energy and charge (HZE particles), which may cause them to develop accelerated aging-related neurocognitive deficits. This chapter examines the role of oxidative stress in the development of neurocognitive deficits associated with aging and exposure to HZE particles, and then discusses the protective effects of dietary intake of berry fruits (e.g., blueberries and strawberries) on the development of neurocognitive deficits and cancer associated with HZE particle exposure.
