In this study an attempt has been made to develop climatology of thunderstorm, hail and squall over the northeast and adjoining east India region based on data of 26 India Meteorological Department (IMD) observatories for the months of April and May during 1981-2008. The data of 8 Indian Air Force (IAF) observatories in these regions which are available for the period of 1991-2008 have also been considered. The interannual & intraseasonal variation, climate change aspects and diurnal variation of occurrence of thunderstorms have been analysed and discussed. The frequency and time of occurrence of thunderstorm, hail and squall days over the region show large spatial variation. The orographically dominant regions as well as the coastal areas are more prone for such activity. There is increasing trend in number of thunderstorm days over some parts of south coastal Orissa and coastal West Bengal and decreasing trend over some parts of north coastal Orissa, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura in recent years.

First Time

The present study was carried out to prepare a checklist of butterflies in the Coastal areas of Purba Medinipur District of southern West Bengal between January 2014 and February 2016. A total of 112 butterfly species belonging to 74 genera under 14 subfamilies and five families were recorded during the study period. Nymphalidae and Lycaenidae were the most dominant family, whereas Papilionidae was the least dominant family. Among 112 butterfly species recorded, 9 species were legally protected under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. A total of 59 species were newly recorded in the study area. Suastus minuta Moore, 1877 was recorded for the first time in West Bengal. The present results also provide a detailed comparison of butterfly diversity among different studies conducted in southern West Bengal.   Citation: Payra A., Mishra R. K., Mondal K., 2017.

Two Alternatives

In this paper, protection options for a high-value, industrial area along the coast of West Bengal (India) are investigated. The options are designed to protect against cyclone surges with a probability of 1/100 per year. Two alternatives are compared, a classical solution of a dike with a revetment and a solution with a mangrove belt in front of the dike. The results reveal that from a pure infrastructural cash-flow point-of-view, the mangrove solution is at least 25% cheaper than the classical solution with a rock revetment. An important finding is that this conclusion does not need the financial evaluation of the obvious additional ecological advantages that mangroves offer. It is postulated that these results are generally valid for high-value coastal areas under the attack of waves during storm surges.

The state of West Bengal, India, has a long coastline with the Bay of Bengal. No information exists regarding filarial epidemiology and its vector in these coastal areas. The present study was designed to assess the epidemiology of lymphatic filariasis and the role of available mosquitoes as its vector in eight coastal villages around Digha, West Bengal. Night blood samples of 4016 individuals were collected and each of them was examined clinically for any manifestations of the disease. Overall, microfilaria rate, mean microfilarial density and disease rate were 9.06%, 8.63% and 7.72%, respectively. The causative parasite was identified as Wuchereria bancrofti and Culex quinquefasciatus was incriminated as the vector responsible. Vector infection and infectivity rates were assessed to be 12.5% and 0.73%, respectively. The human blood index of human-house-frequenting vector population was 70%. Vector density, vector infection, infectivity rates and human blood index were higher in the rainy season in the study area. Overall, the filarial situation was bad and, as a measure, single-dose diethylcarbamazine citrate (6 mg/kg body weight) treatment was given to all the microfilariaemic patients. Night blood samples of the treated individuals were tested for microfilariae on days 10 and 365, which revealed interesting results.

To examine whether elevated antinuclear antibody (ANA) titers reported in random human population of arsenic contaminated villages can be reverted to the normal range by administration of a potentized homeopathic drug,Arsenicum album, randomly selected volunteers in two arsenic contaminated villages and one arsenic-free village in West Bengal (India) were periodically tested for their ANA titer as well as various blood parameters in two types of experiments: ‘placebo-controlled double blind’ experiment for shorter duration and ‘uncontrolled verum fed experiment’ for longer duration. Positive modulation of ANA titer was observed along with changes in certain relevant hematological parameters, namely total count of red blood cells and white blood cells, packed cell volume, hemoglobin content, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and blood sugar level, mostly within 2 months of drug administration. Thus,Arsenicum albumappears to have great potential for ameliorating arsenic induced elevated ANA titer and other hematological toxicities.
