microcerotermes diversus silvestri (isoptera: termitidae) is the most economically destructive wood pest in structures in khuzestan province (iran). chemicals such as essential oils and plant extracts that are compatible with the environment and have high potential to be used in integrated pest management programs are extremely important resources. this study evaluated contact and digestive tox...

three different solvents namely; hexane, ethyl acetate and ethanol were used in partitioning the extracts obtained from piper guineense seeds and solvent extracts were investigated for the presence or absence of secondary metabolites. extracts were further evaluated on adult maize weevils, sitophilus zeamais. experiment was carried out under laboratory conditions at 27 ± 2 °c ambient temperatur...

b a ckground: the efficacy of essential oil of chenopodium ambrosioides flowering aerial parts and its three main active ingredients was evaluated against blattella germanica male adults. m e t hods: composition of essential oil was determined by gc-ms. topical application bioassay was used to evalu- ate contact toxicity of essential oil and three main components. fumigant toxicity of essential...

Various kinds of positive effects of green tea extracts had been studied for long time which included anti-inflammation, anti-aging, and cardiometabolic effects. Although topical steroid and non-steroidal calcineurin inhibitors may control clinical symptoms of allergic contact dermatitis, some of patients also present allergic reaction to these topical agents.
