OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the profile of sensitization to silkworm moth (Bombyx mori) and other 9 common inhalant allergens among patients with allergic diseases in southern China. METHODS A total of 175 patients were tested for serum sIgE against silkworm moth in addition to combinations of other allergens: Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Dermatophagoides farinae, Blomia tro...

The origin and insecticide resistance status of Diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) populations infesting canola, vegetables, forage brassicas and weeds has fundamental implications for management of the pest in Australia. Diamondback moth is considered a migratory species in the Northern Hemisphere, but although there is evidence that Diamondback moth moves en-masse throughout Australia in ...

The gypsy moth-Lymantria dispar (Linnaeus)-is a worldwide forest defoliator and is of two types: the European gypsy moth and the Asian gypsy moth. Because of multiple invasions of the Asian gypsy moth, the North American Plant Protection Organization officially approved Regional Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 33. Accordingly, special quarantine measures have been implemented for 30 sp...

the aim of the current study was to evaluate the replacement effect of soybean meal (sbm) at different levels (0 as d1, 33 as d2, 67 as d3 and 100% as d4 based on crude protein (cp) content) by guar meal (gm) on ruminal gas production kinetics, ruminal digestibility and fermentation characteristics of a fattening diet for lambs. three experiments were conducted. the first experiment of 144-h in...

With moth declines reported across Europe, and parallel changes in the amount and spectra of street lighting, it is important to understand exactly how artificial lights affect moth populations. We therefore compared the relative attractiveness of shorter wavelength (SW) and longer wavelength (LW) lighting to macromoths. SW light attracted significantly more individuals and species of moth, eit...
