Codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), a serious pest of pome fruit, is a threat to exportation of apples (Malus spp.) because of the possibility of shipping infested fruit. The need for alternatives to fumigants such as methyl bromide for quarantine security of exported fruit has encouraged the development of effective fumigants with reduced side effects. The endophytic...

The loss of a child is a tragedy - families suffer and human potential is wasted. 6.3 million children under the age of five died in 2013, nearly 17 000 every day. Most deaths among children aged one to five years are due to diseases that can be prevented, but that can also be easily treated at home or in health facilities. Leading causes of death in under-five children are preterm birth compli...

A Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)-based formulation intended to increase feeding response in Spodoptera exigua (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) was developed. Eight matrices were prepared from natural ingredients and confronted with fresh maize leaves to select one highly palatable to larvae. The selected matrix was combined with Bt HD-125 strain at three different concentrations (30, 70, and 100 ...

from october 1977 to december 1988, 108 neonates born with esophageal atresia (ea) and/or a tracheoesophageal fistula (tef) were treated at the bristol royal hospital for sick children. an incidence of i :4000-4500 live births was noted. 1i2.4% had the common- type anomaly, 5.5% had pure esophageal atresia, and 6.5% had an h-type anomaly. 2.8% had upper and lower fistulae and 2.8% had upper fis...

Toxic plants with sequestering specialists are presented with a problem because plant derived toxins protect herbivores against natural enemies. It has been suggested that early induction of toxins and later relaxation of these defenses may help the plant resolve this problem because neonate caterpillars incur the physiological cost of dealing with toxins in early life, but are denied toxins wh...

Coyotes recently expanded into the eastern U.S. and potentially have caused localized white-tailed deer population declines. Research has focused on quantifying coyote predation on neonates, but little research has addressed the potential influence of bedsite characteristics on survival. In 2011 and 2012, we radiocollared 65 neonates, monitored them intensively for 16 weeks, and assigned mortal...

Congenital leukemia (CL) refers to diagnosed at birth or within the 1st month of life. Incidence is reported be 1 in 5 million. We report case a 22-day-old neonate, who presented us with features sepsis, predominant blasts peripheral smear, and was subsequently detected have CL.
