OBS

Because the Japanese have been fishing extensively in their waters for hundreds of... years, many of Japan's sea urchins are imported from the United States these days. Sea Urchin and Marine Environment From the outside, a sea urchin--an obscure cousin of the starfish--looks like a simple ball of spines, with some variation in size and color among different species. But the inside is what counts : the row is a delicacy in Japanese sushi bars. The roe, called "uni", is eaten raw, often on a small pad of seaweed-wrapped rice. Its color ranges from brownish yellow to orange, and the texture resembles a firm, slightly grainy custard.

CONT

La panachure jaune du riz (Rice Yellow Mottle) est la principale maladie qui affect la riziculture irriguée en Afrique et à Madagascar. Transmise par un coléoptère, elle est due à un virus de la famille des Sobémovirus, identifié en 1966 pour la première fois au Kenya par un chercheur néerlandais, puis en 1977 en Côte d'Ivoire par des virologues de l'IRD. Depuis, le virus s'est répandu à la faveur de l'introduction dans les rizières africaines de variétés de riz productives mais très sensibles à celui-ci et à la suite de l'intensification de la riziculture. Extrêmement virulent, il peut détruire la quasi totalité d'une récolte.
