Abstract Jajar legowo (Jarwo) is a rice planting system that widely practiced by farmers, but information regarding its effects on pests and natural enemies limited. This study aimed to identify how the Jarwo affects population damage intensity of yellow stem borer ( Scirpophaga incertulas ) predators. The research was conducted in Wonosari-Klaten, Central Java, during dry season 2020. 2:1 used...

Numerous methods exist for molecular-based detection of Nosema ceranae. Here we determine location of parasite loads, the optimal tissue for pathogen detection, and the likely sources of variability among assays. Bee washes and head/thorax samples revealed substantial N. ceranae loads (2.67×10(4)±1.12×10(4) and 1.83×10(4)±4.14×10(3)). Midgut samples carried the highest parasite loads (3.42×10(6...

The Phylum Protozoa brings together several organisms evolutionarily different that may act as ecto or endoparasites of fishes over the world being responsible for diseases, which, in turn, may lead to economical and social impacts in different countries. Apart from the recent advances for the diagnosis of fish diseases in Brazil, little is known on the protozoan parasites and their relationshi...
