The Guthion-resistant strain of walnut aphid parasite, Trio x y s p a II i d us. was mass reared in the greenhouse on potted walnut trees and released into five commercial walnut blocks near Colusa, Stockton, Modesto, and Hanford. Parasites successfully established in four of the five sites, surviving on field rates of Guthion and Supracide. The Guthion-resistant strain persisted in the release...

METHODS Randomized, controlled, modified Latin square parallel design study with 2 treatment arms. The 112 participants were ...

BACKGROUND Component-based diagnosis on multiplex platforms is widely used in food allergy but its clinical performance has not been evaluated in nut allergy. OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic performance of a commercial protein microarray in the determination of specific IgE (sIgE) in peanut, hazelnut, and walnut allergy. METHODS sIgE was measured in 36 peanut-allergic, 36 hazelnut-allerg...

Thousand cankers disease (TCD) is a new disease of black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) in the eastern United States. The disease is caused by the interaction of the aggressive bark beetle Pityophthorus juglandis Blackman and the canker-forming fungus, Geosmithia morbida M. Kolarik, E. Freeland, C. Utley & Tisserat, carried by the beetle. Other insects also colonize TCD-symptomatic trees and may als...
