متن کاملSpecies Composition and Diversity of Malaria Vector Breeding Habitats in Trincomalee District of Sri Lanka
INTRODUCTION Mosquito larval ecology is important in determining larval densities and species assemblage. This in turn influences malaria transmission in an area. Therefore, understanding larval habitat ecology is important in designing malaria control programs. METHOD Larval surveys were conducted in 20 localities under five sentinel sites (Padavisiripura, Gomarankadawala, Thoppur, Mollipoth...
متن کاملStudy on induced breeding in ornamental fish,poecilia sphenops
An attempt has been made to determine the effect of Natrum muriaticum, a homeopathic medicine on the weight gain, fecundity, excretion and tissue protein level in Poecilia sphenops (white molly), an ornamental viviparous fish. Natrum muriaticum of 30 centesimal potency of dilution of 0.025% medium was used. The amount of protein was determined in the ovary, liver and muscle of the control and t...
متن کاملTrypanocidal activity of some endemic species of Satureja in Iran
Trypanosoma cruzi, a hemoflagellate protozoan (family Trypanosomatidae), is the ethiological agent of Chagas disease, which is affecting 16-18 million people, with more than 100 million exposed to the risk of infection. Higher plants are a potential source of new drugs to improve the treatment of Chagase disease. Until recently, Rutacea, Meliaceae, Simaroubaceae and Burceraceae families have be...
