Bulinus truncatus snail is the intermediate host of Schistosoma haematobium, which causes serious damage to urinary system infected patients. To control it in its rapid interruption and/or elimination disease transmission would be efficient. Copper chlorophyllin (Cu-chl) and magnesium (Mg-chl); two photosensitizers used several biological applications, were bio-assayed against B. snails.  Mg-ch...

The growing threat of vector- borne diseases and environmental pollution has prompted the nanotechnology based investigations. present study aimed to use one nanotechnological applications with larvicidal potential against Aedes aegypti by preparing aqueous hybrid nanoemulsion zinc sulfide nanoparticles Eucalyptus globulus oil. mean droplet size prepared most stable (9.5 ppm) was found be 60±10...

Background: Pesticides are widely used in agriculture. Excessive use of pesticides has health risk for human and threatens non-target organisms. This research aimed to determine lethal concentrations of malathion and Hinosan for Carassius auratus (5±1 gr) [mean ± SD]. Methods: Experiments were performed according to O.E.C.D for 4 days (96 h) and concentrations of 0, 1, 2, 4, 8 mg L-1 Hinosan...

in this study, the effects of two metarhizium anisopliae isolates, originally obtained from red palm weevil (rhynchophorus ferrugineus) and a beetle (parandra caspica), on adults of russian wheat aphid diuraphis noxia were studied under laboratory coditions. after a determination of the minimum & maximum concentrations, the adults were treated with conidial concentrations of 1×103 to 1×106 coni...

The purpose of this research is to find the effectiveness bandotan’s (Ageratum conyzoides L.) leaf extract on mortality Boophilus microplus in vitro and also get lethal concentration time. This used 125 microplus. five treatments, namely neguvon suspensionon (K+), ethanol 1% (K-), (P1), 2% (P2) 3% (P3). observation was done every six hours. dies when there no movement. data were analyzed using ...

Mosquito vectors are among the well-known group of insect that transmit a number deleterious human diseases, which has pose major public health challenges affecting development poorest countries in world. Vector control is therefore an essential requirement these diseases. The emergence insecticide resistance and their effects on non-target population environment necessitated urgent search for ...

The insecticidal activity and residual effect of two formulations of lambdacyhalothrin were evaluated with Rhodnius prolixus; laboratory and field tests were conducted in the State of Chiapas, Mexico. The results indicate that the lethal concentrations of the active ingredient of SC (LC50 = 2.37 and LC90 = 8.5 mg, a.i./m2) were 4-8 times than those with the insecticide WP applied on R. prolixus...

BACKGROUND Ferulago carduchorum Boiss and Hausskn belongs to the Apiaceae family. This plant grows in west part of Iran that local people added it to dairy and oil ghee to delay expiration date and give them a pleasant taste. The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant, antimicrobial, acetyl cholinesterase inhibition, cytotoxic, larvicidal activities and composition of essential oi...
