The effect in alcoholic extract of Bark of Albizzia lebbeck was studied for antifilarial activity using Setaria cervi (S. cervi) worm procured from the freshly slaughtered buffalo.We used the whole worm (w.w.) preparation and nerve muscle (n.m.) complex of Setaria cervi (S. cervi). The n.m. complex is made by stripping the cuticle of the worm. The effect was stimulant in nature in both the prep...

An organochloride, thiamothoxam is used commercially for controlling the agricultural pest. In the present study it was observed that at sub-lethal concentration (29.483 ppm) the GDH activity in the liver, kidney, gill and muscle of Ophiocephalus punctatus increased non-significantly from 24hrs to 96hrs of exposure. The maximum activity in all these organs was at 96 hrs. It has been concluded t...

the research was accomplished in order to study behavioral and histopathological effects of copper on rutilus rutilus caspicus under experimental condition. the study was performed using water static method during 96 hours. 15 fish with averaged weight 2?0.5 g in weight were encountered to different concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 mg/l) of copper. a group of fish was considered as control...

the potato tuber moth (ptm), phthorimaea operculella (zeller) is one of the important pests of potato in tropical regions. in this research, the toxicity of two insecticides, abamectin and deltamethrin on p. operculella was studied at 26 ± 1 c°, 65 ± 5% rh and photoperiod of 16:8 h (l: d). the concentrations were determined by preliminary dose setting experiments. distilled water was used as co...

Megacopta cribraria F. (Hemiptera: Plataspidae), the kudzu bug, is an invasive insect pest of U.S. soybean. At present, insecticide application is the primary and most effective control option for M. cribraria In this study, the potential effects of sublethal and low-lethal concentrations (LC10 and LC40) of three common insecticides on key biological traits and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activ...
