First Record and Molecular Identification of Amantia Manginiana in Jordan
Full text linkThe occurrence of the basidiomycete Amantia manginiana is reported for the first time in Jordan. The large crumbly white wild mushroom was collected from woodland during December 2014 from Dabouq in Jordan. All morphological characteristics including cap, stem, gills, and spores were recorded. The mycelium was isolated by aseptically removing a small part of the fruiting body and transferring it onto the potato dextrose agar plate. After four days of incubation at 25-30 °C in the dark, a pure culture was obtained. Sequence analysis of a partial fragment of 28S nuclear large subunit (nLSU) in the ribosomal RNA gene of the isolated strains included the new strain within taxon Amanita manginiana with 95% similarity to Genebank accession No. KP161281 and 91% to Genebank accession No. AF024463.1 respectively. According to morphological characteristics and molecular sequence analysis, the mushroom was identified as Amanita manginiana and recorded for the first time in Jordan.</jats:p
Wastewater Treatment and its Reuse in Jordan
Full text linkThe prospective agriculture development, in Jordan, is tied up by severe water scarcity that induces imbalances and shortages of water supply for various uses, especially under high population growth rates, natural and non-voluntary migration, and climate change. This paper provides highlights on the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) expansion, development, and treated wastewater reuse for the current and past 100 years in Jordan, examples of inefficient utilization of some WWTPs effluent and some of its constituents (such as Nitrogen and Phosphorus). It also suggests the necessary measures in the near future and long-term for the effective use of treated wastewater that improve and increase the reuse of treated wastewater in agricultural irrigation.</jats:p
Ethnopharmacological importance of local flora in the traditional medicine of Jordan: (A mini review)
Full text linkTraditional knowledge of medicinal plant use in Jordan is poorly described. During the last years, many phytochemists and botanists from Jordan have conducted qualitative and quantitative several studies, to gather information from the local people in the different rural regions where herbal medicine flourishes. To assess the effectiveness of the specific plants used in the treatment of certain diseases, several ethnopharmacological studies were carried out in different regions of Jordan. The reported use value (UV) and informant’s consensus factor (Fic) of these studies were analysed and summarised. Artemisia and Achillea species scored the highest UV (above 0.8). Ajloun area, rich in medicinal plants, showed the highest average UV, followed by the rural area of Badia. Among all reported illnesses dental pain has achieved the highest homogenity of the information (Fic 0.97). This ethnopharmacological review revealed that despite the availability of modern medicine in Jordan, traditional medicine is also widely practiced, especially in the rural areas of the country.</jats:p

Hearing loss in Jordan: an overlooked public health challenge: Hearing loss and hearing healthcare in Jordan
No full textHearing loss (HL) is a significant public health issue in developing countries like Jordan, yet it remains under-prioritized due to competing healthcare agendas and limited resources. This review synthesises the current knowledge on HL in Jordan and provides an overview of the country's hearing healthcare situation. A narrative review was conducted by searching databases including PubMed and Scopus using the search keywords 'hearing loss,' 'deaf', 'hearing healthcare', 'audiology', and 'Jordan', to identify relevant literature on HL epidemiology, impact, and hearing healthcare services.
Official national statistics on HL across the population are lacking. Estimates of HL from local research for newborns align with international averages but exceed global levels for infants with risk factors. The estimates for adults suggest a lower prevalence compared to global reports. Most studies focus on the negative psychosocial and educational impacts on Jordanians with HL. Enhancements in hearing healthcare services are needed to improve access, affordability, and quality of audiology services across the country. Research and governmental efforts are necessary to establish national-level official statistics, implement effective prevention strategies, and improve audiological services. This requires integrated healthcare policies, community-based interventions, and international cooperation to reduce the burden of HL and foster more inclusive societies in Jordan
