One alternative to waste processing polystyrene is use Tenebrio molitor larvae. This study aims determine the increase in body length and weight, rate of degradation, value Waste Reduction Index (WRI) larvae T. molitor. used laboratory experimental using completely randomized design model (CRD) data analysis with control 4 feed treatments. Each treatment level was repeated 5 times order obtain ...

Waste is exile generated from a production process that can have negative effect onthe environment. Organic chicken manure produced naturally by utilizing Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae produce BSF frass as organic fertilizer of good quality, environmentally friendly, which support sustainable agriculture. Field experiments been carried out in the Gardens Faculty Agriculture, Winaya Mukti Unive...

a gingival myiasis in a four years old mental retarded boy with anorexia and weight loss is presented from southern part of iran. entomological studies on larvae showed the larvae as wohlfartia magnifica which is a rare causative agent of gingival myiasis.

objective: in this study, the effect of diet food (soybeans, egg yolk and chicken manure) on biomass weight and body composition (the amount of protein, fat, moisture and ash) chironomid larvae were examined. methods: for this purpose, 2.5 grams of food per coconut considered in the period, with three replicates and chironomid larvae during the period of 15 days in plastic pans were kept in nut...

The objective of this work was to study the reproductive behavior of two strains of R. (B.) microplus, one wild-caught (Native) and one reference strain (Media Joya) for two years, measuring the reproductive efficiency index (REI) and reproductive aptitude index (RAI). Engorged ticks from each strain were collected monthly from February 2002 to February 2004. These were weighed and kept in the ...

In holometabolous insects, a species-specific size, known as critical weight, needs to be reached for metamorphosis to be initiated in the absence of further nutritional input. Previously, we found that reaching critical weight depends on the insulin-dependent growth of the prothoracic glands (PGs) in Drosophila larvae. Because the PGs produce the molting hormone ecdysone, we hypothesized that ...

The influence of zinc, iron, cobalt, and manganese on submerged cultures of Fusarium moniliforme NRRL 13616 was assessed by measuring dry weight accumulation, fusarin C biosynthesis, and ammonia assimilation. Shake flask cultures were grown in a nitrogen-limited defined medium supplemented with various combinations of metal ions according to partial-factorial experimental designs. Zinc (26 to 3...

We describe here the mass death of predatory carp, Chanodichthys erythropterus, in Korea induced by plerocercoid larvae of Ligula intestinalis as a result of host manipulation. The carcasses of fish with ligulid larvae were first found in the river-edge areas of Chilgok-bo in Nakdong-gang (River), Korea at early February 2016. This ecological phenomena also occurred in the adjacent areas of 3 d...
