Arthropods that attack man and domestic animals in British Columbia (1951 - 2001)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In 1951, the Dominion Livestock Insect Laboratory, built in 1938 on 32 acres of Miss ion Flats on the western outsk irts of Kamloops, was the centre for Medical and Veterinary Entomology in the Province (F ig. I). 1.D. Gregson was in charge and ran the very successful tick laboratory that did much to reduce the incidence of paralys is of li vestock, and the occasional human, caused by bites of the range land tick , Dermacentor andersoni. L.c. Curtis was in charge of the Household and Medical Entomology Unit until he retired in 1969. He was heav ily invo lved in testing new post-war insecticides and repellents and many of our Society's photographs show him with a portable sprayer or fogger. G.P. Holland, who had been involved with Gregson in the biology and control of fleas, mosquitoes, warble fli es and ticks, had just left the laboratory in 1948 to head the Systemat ics Unit at the Central Experimental Farlll , Ottawa. He had been responsib le for identi ty ing Illany thousands of fl eas sent in by the Plague (Yers inia pes/is) Survey carri ed out during and after World War 2 .

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
