Ethanol extracts of 20 plant species (Euphorbiaceae) were assessed for nematicidal activity against the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood. Out of these, four extracts: Croton tiglium, Euphorbia fischeriana, Leptopus chinensis and Ricinus communis caused 100% mortalities of the root-knot nematode at 1000 μg/ml for 72 h. The ethanol extract of E. fischeriana ex...

Lipas jerman telah resisten terhadap berbagai macam insektisida, dibuktikan dengan adanya kasus resistensi lipas yang dilaporkan terjadi di beberapa wilayah Indonesia. Meskipun demikian, Kota Purwokerto sampai saat ini belum ada laporan mengenai tersebut. Tujuan khusus penelitian adalah mengetahui status dari tiga pasar tradisional fipronil. Metode digunakan metode kontak dan umpan menggunakan ...

The larvicidal activities to determine the efficacies of acetone, ethyl acetate, chloroform and butanol dried leaf extracts of Annona squamosa, Cynodon dactylon, Melia azedarach and root extract of Hemidesmus indicus tested against 3 instar Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti. The highest larvae mortality was found in the acetone followed by ethyl acetate, chloroform and butanol extract of...

Dehydrins exist widely in plants and play an important role abiotic stress resistance. Two low-temperature-induced dehydrin-like genes, PmCAP LpCAP, from the pine species Pseudotsuga menziesii Larix principis-rupprechtii Mayr were cloned found to contain 576 bp 687 bp, encoding 191 228 amino acids, respectively. Both genes individually assembled into prokaryotic expression vectors transferred E...

Fasciolosis is a parasitic disease caused by Fasciola gigantica. The freshwater snail Lymnaea acuminata is the intermediate host of F. gigantica which cause endemic fasciolosis in the northern part of India. To investigate larvicidal activity of pure and laboratory extracted pheophorbide a (Pa) against cercaria larvae of F. gigantica, data were analyzed in different spectra of visible light, su...

Several animal models have been used to understand the molecular basis of the pathogenicity, infectious dose and strain to strain variation of Listeria monocytogenes. The greater wax worm Galleria mellonella, as an alternative model, provides some useful advantages not available with other models and has already been described as suitable for the virulence assessment of various pathogens includ...
