The Potential of Pilixeppus Petersi as a Biocontrol Agent on Musca Domestica
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Chemical insecticides produce the risk of developing pest resistance, side effects to non-target species, and long lived residues in the environment. Generalist Predators can be effective agents of bio-control against Musca domestica L. (house fly). Spiders, particularly assemblages of species, have been shown to be effective in reducing pest insects. Common house fly catcher (Plexippus petersi) is hunting its favorite prey house fly and other small insects. We investigated the potential of jumping spider species to reduce pests in a laboratory setting. In 24, 48 and 32hrs experiment, the mortality rate was increased and finally it reached 100% mortality rate. Plexippus petersi spiders significantly increased house fly mortality.

متن کاملEvaluation of the House Fly Musca domestica as a Mechanical Vector for an Anthrax
Anthrax is a disease of human beings and animals caused by the encapsulated, spore-forming, Bacillus anthracis. The potential role of insects in the spread of B. anthracis to humans and domestic animals during an anthrax outbreak has been confirmed by many studies. Among insect vectors, the house fly Musca domestica is considered a potential agent for disease transmission. In this study, labora...

Isolation of autochthonous bacteria from marine sources as a potential probiont in biocontroling against pathogenic Vibrio species in the shrimp culture industry was the aim of current research. A total of 198 bacterial strains were isolated from pond water, sediment, hepatopancreas and gut samples of shrimps after culturing the samples on Tryptic Soy Agar and incubated at 30 °C for 24-48 h.
