In order to study the host preference of female mosquitoes, samples were taken fortnightly in Cordoba and Cosquin (Argentina), during October-April of two consecutive years. Four different vertebrates were used in baited-can traps: frogs, chickens, rabbits and turtles. The genus Culex accounted for 92.9% of the specimens collected. Aedes for 7.0% and Psorophora ciliata 0.02%. The highest propor...

To evaluate the synergistic potency of three different plants namely rhizome of Bergenia ciliata, Acorus calamus and tuber of Dioscorea bulbifera in exhibiting the antibacterial activity, phytochemical evaluation and molecular docking analysis. 5mg/ml, Sample II and III acetone extract of plant mixture containing A. calamus, B. ciliata and D. bulbifera in the ratio 1:2:1 and 1:1:2 against E. co...

The study was aimed to evaluate antioxidant activity of methanolic and aqueous extracts of Bergenia ciliata (Haw.) Sternb. rhizome. Total phenolic content was determined in both extracts. Free radical (DPPH ● and ● OH) scavenging potential of the extracts revealed that both extracts to be active radical scavengers. Reducing (Fe-Fe) power and lipid peroxidation inhibition efficiency (TBARS assay...

The Chloris genus is a C4 photosynthetic species mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. Populations of three Chloris species occurring in citrus orchards from central Cuba, under long history glyphosate-based weed management, were studied for glyphosate-resistant status by characterizing their herbicide resistance/tolerance mechanisms. Morphological and molecular analyses allow...

Five main compounds, including two iridoid glycosides (catalposide, verproside) and three phenolic compounds (luteolin, 4-hydroxy benzoic acid, 3,4-dihydroxy benzoic acid), were separated and prepared from the crude extract of Veronica ciliata by high-speed countercurrent chromatography. n-Hexane/n-butanol/water (1.5:5:5, v/v/v) was used for the separation of catalposide and verproside. n-Hexan...
