Bawang Dayak (Eleutherine palmifolia L. Merr.) is traditionally used to cure diabetes mellitus and other diseases by Dayak tribes in Kalimantan Island, Indonesia, despite there is no scientific reports on its anti-diabetic activity both in-vitro or in-vivo. The study aimed to evaluate the ability of aqueous (EPA) and ethanolic extracts (EPE) of Eleutherine palmifolia L. Merr. bulbs to control h...

Application of most antibiotic growth promoters as feed additives has been banned in a lot of countries due to cross-resistance against pathogens and residues in tissues. Therefore, scientists are searching for alternatives to antibiotics nowadays. Medicinal plant extracts are one of the alternatives that have anti-microbial and growth promoting effect on poultry. In this paper, the benefits of...

RATIONALE A cholesterol granuloma (CG) is usually found in the middle ear, papilla, orbits, petrous apex, and choroid plexus, but is highly uncommon in the skull. In spite of benign clinicopathological lesions, bone erosion can be seen occasionally in the patient with CG. The optimal treatment strategy is radical surgery, but complete excision is usually impossible due to anatomical restriction...

Suppression of root-knot nematodes is crucially important for maintaining the worldwide development of the banana industry. Growing concerns about human and environmental safety have led to the withdrawal of commonly used nematicides and soil fumigants, thus motivating the development of alternative nematode management strategies. In this study, Meloidogyne javanica was isolated, and the nemati...

The relationship between the initial (Pi) and final (Pf) population densities of Meloidogyne javanica in response to increasing initial inoculum levels and the effect on yield in zucchini cv. Amalthee (Cucurbita pepo L.) was determined using a geometric series of 12 Pi from 0 to 51,200 eggs/100 cm of soil in pot experiments in a greenhouse. The maximum multiplication rate was 425, and the equil...

The host suitability of five zucchini and three cucumber genotypes to Meloidogyne incognita (MiPM26) and M. javanica (Mj05) was determined in pot experiments in a greenhouse. The number of egg masses (EM) did not differ among the genotypes of zucchini or cucumber, but the eggs/plant and reproduction factor (Rf) did slightly. M. incognita MiPM26 showed lower EM, eggs/plant, and Rf than M. javani...

Root-knot nematodes, particularly Meloidogynejavanica (Treub.) Chitwood, 1949 and M. incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood, 1949, are among the most important pathogens of carrots (Daucus carota L.) in Brazil. They damage tap roots by galling, digitation, and constriction, resulting in lower market value (3). Even low soil densities of root-knot nematodes have been reported to reduce marketable...
