Recently, a novel fatty acid compound that acts as a feeding deterrent for blood sucking insects was identified from the gaur (Bos frontalis). In our laboratory we have prepared analogues of this novel fatty acid and explored their structure activity relations...

متن کاملEvidence of Subterranean Termite Feeding Deterrent Produced by Brown Rot Fungus Fibroporia radiculosa (Peck) Parmasto 1968 (Polyporales, Fomitopsidaceae)
We found that decayed wood stakes with no termite damage collected from a termite-infested field exhibited a deterrent effect against the termite Reticulitermes speratus, Kolbe, 1885. The effect was observed to be lost or reduced by drying. After identification, it was found that the decayed stakes were infected by brown rot fungus Fibroporia radiculosa (Peck) Parmasto, 1968. In a no-choice fee...
