One pests is Bactrocera calumniata. Symptoms attacked by B. having small holes that ooze fluid caused puncture ovipositor female flies after a long time becomes soft texture smells rotten. The research was conduc...

The density of flies at the fish sales Tambak Lorok Market, Semarang City is included in high category with a number 9.35. Based on observation showed that no control has been carried out to reduce fly population City. way use traps. aim study was analyze effect trap variations trapped type research used observasional cross sectional design. samples this were various types traps (sticky trap, b...

b a ckground: stigmaeids mites have been recorded only on phlebotominae sand flies up to now. five species of eu stigmaeus , and three of stigmaeus were reported on infested sandflies in different country up to the present. methods: sand flies collection was done using cdc light trap and sticky paper. the mites were isolated from in- fested specimens, mounted in puri’s medium and identified usi...

background: we aimed to develop a pcr-rflp assay based on available sequences of putative vertebrate hosts to iden­tify blood meals ingested by field female sand fly in the northwest of iran. in addition, the utility of pcr-rflp was compared with elisa as a standard method. methods: this experimental study was performed in the insect molecular biology laboratory of school of public health, tehr...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the neuroprotective role farnesol against rotenone induced neurotoxicity in Drosophila melanogaster by survival rate study, negative geotaxis assay and estimation vivo antioxidant parameters. To induce flies, 500µmol was used. After successful induction flies were treated with 300 µmol 600 for duration experimental period. carried out estimate effect on long...

Fruit flies are an ideal animal for biological research. Fruit flies can grow quickly in the lab, and we can study many fruit flies at the same time. The fruit fly has an outer layer, just like the human skin, to protect itself from injury or damage. If humans and fruit flies respond to injury in similar ways, then we can use fruit flies to discover new steps to improve human health. Using smal...

Recently we have demonstrated that grass and cut grass are important sources of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions into the atmosphere. The production of these VOCs can be traced back to plant growth, maintenance and wound defence mechanisms. The gases emitted as part of these wound defence mechanisms are responsible for the smell of freshly cut grass, and are also highly photochemically...

In this study, perennial fast growth Napier grass fibers were used for pulp and papermaking. Chlorination and alkaline process were carried using sodium chlorite and sodium hydroxide respectively for pulp extraction from Napier grass. Detailed chemical composition of the Napier grass fibers and the extracted pulp was carried out and a comparison with other perennial grasses made. The extracted ...

Plants are the essential factors shaping soil microbial community (SMC) structure. When most studies focus on the difference in the SMC structure associated different plant species, the variation in the SMC structure associated with phylogenetically close species is less investigated. Legume (Fabaceae) and grass (Poaceae) are functionally important plant groups; however, their influences on the...
