Metabolism of Gamma-Benzene Hexachloride in Susceptible and Resistant Houseflies

The comparison of oral Ivermectin and topical Gamma Benzene Hexachloride 1% in treatment of Scabies

Background: Oral ivermectin is recently introduced for the treatment of scabies. Objective: The objective of this clinical trial was to compare the efficacy and safety of oral ivermectin and topical Gamma Benzene Hexachloride (GBH) 1% for the treatment of scabies. Patients and Methods: Fifty-eight cases were randomly assigned in the two treatment groups. In the ivermectin group, patients receiv...

Bhc (benzene Hexachloride) Formulations

Experience in Queensland has shown that when crude BHC is refined to yield products containing higher proportions of the gamma isomer, the insecticidal persistence of the BHC in soil is decreased. This process also diminishes the specific toxicity of BHC to the soldier fly pest, Alfe~nzetopon.ia rubriceps (Macq.). I t also decreases the potential phytotoxicity, since less total BHC is required ...

Frequency of Resistance and Susceptible Bacteria Isolated from Houseflies

BACKGROUND In this study, we determine the vector competence of Musca domestica with reference to the transmission of susceptible and resistance bacterial strains in hospitals and slaughter house in Sanandaj City, west Iran. METHODS Totally 908 houseflies were collected to isolate bacteria from their external body based on standard procedures.Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed by...

The Effects of Fruit Maturity and 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) Treatment on α-farnesene Metabolism in Scald Resistant and Susceptible Cultivars of Apple Fruit

Background: It was found that, climatic conditions and fruit ripeness are important factor for the occurrence and intensity of superficial scald. 1-MCP is an inhibitor of ethylene action in plants and inhibits many ripening related processes along with the production of ethylene and volatiles. Objective: Apples are often held for several months at low temperature either in air (RA) or in con...
