The distribution and dynamics of natural-mediated zoonosis (Lyme disease) in the Carpathian region have been studied measures for its prevention developed. It is established that vectors Lyme disease are Ixodes mites. transmitted transmissible through adhesion mites to human body. In mites, transovarian (through eggs) transphase larvae nymphs) transmission pathogens.

The lerp-forming psyllid, Creiis lituratus Froggatt, is the most damaging pest of Eucalyptus dunnii Maiden plantations growing in north-eastern New South Wales. During the past 10 years there have been numerous reports that stands of E. dunnii planted on low-lying areas that were prone to waterlogging were also prone to infestation by C. lituratus. The objective of this shadehouse study was to ...

Synchronous hatching within single egg clutches is moderately common in locusts and other insects can be mediated by vibrational stimuli generated adjacent embryos. However, non-locust grasshoppers, there has been little research on the patterns of mechanisms controlling time hatching. In this study, six grasshoppers ( Atractomorpha lata , Oxya yezoensis Acrida cinerea Chorthippus biguttulus Ga...

The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), is an important pest of citrus because it transmits plant pathogens responsible for a serious disease of citrus known as huanglongbing. Conventional insecticides are frequently used to manage ACP. Insecticidal soaps (hereafter ‘soaps’) are an insect control option labelled for commercial use as well as for use by ...

Abstract Tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris Palisot de Beauvois (Hemiptera: Miridae), has become a primary pest of cotton in the Midsouthern United States. Insect growth regulators such as novaluron are an important part L. management. While is lethal to nymphs, it does not kill adults, so been used when nymphs stage present. However, yield protection was observed from application adults wer...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the bioecological relationship between Chagas disease peridomestic vectors and reptiles as source of feeding. METHODS In a three-story building, triatomines were captured by direct search and electric vacuum cleaner search in and outside the building. Then, age structure of the captured Triatoma maculata (T. maculata) were identified and recorded. Reptiles living in s...

The green mirid bug Apolygus lucorum is a regional pest of multiple crops in northern China, and the survival and development of diapausing eggs during winter plays an important role in the population dynamics of this species. The effect of water on the survival and development of A. lucorum eggs was investigated using laboratory-induced diapause. Diapausing eggs were exposed to various humidit...

background: linguatula serrata, a tongue worm, is anaberrant cosmopolitan parasite, which inhabits the caninerespiratory system (final host). the discharged eggs infect manyplant feeder, including ruminants and human being, that producevisceral and nasopharyngeal linguatulosis which is known asmarrara syndrome in man. objectives:in the current study, theprevalence rate of infection with l. serr...

Alternative food sources could sustain predator populations by influencing their performances including predation, development, and reproduction in periods of shortage or scarcity prey under laboratory fields conditions. The aim this study was to explore suitability cattail pollen (Typha orientalis) as an alternative source for different stages Amblyseius herbicolus (Chant) (Acari: Phytoseiidae...

Eriopis connexa (Germar) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) occurs in several countries of South America and its mass rearing is important for biological control programmes. This work evaluated biological aspects of E. connexa larva fed on eggs of Anagasta kuehniella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) frozen for one day, fresh eggs of Dia...
