Abstract Background: Despite an increase in health research conducted Africa, there are still inadequate human resources with ethics training and lack of local long-term opportunities ethics. A program named United States-Mali Research Ethics Training Program (US-Mali RETP) was established through a partnership between the George Washington University Milken Institute School Public Health (GWSP...

The two acknowledged vectors of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma mali’ in north-western Italy, the psyllid Cacopsylla melanoneura and the leafhopper Fieberiella florii, have been compared to highlight their role in the apple proliferation epidemiology in relation to their infectivity, transmission efficiency and permanence in apple orchards and in wild vegetation, predominantly hawthorn formations. The ...

Biocontrol of postharvest decay on apples could provide an alternative approach for chemical control. With the effort to look for effective biocontrol agents, Bacillus pumilus (B19), B. subtilis (B11), B. cereus (B16), B. subtilis (B11), B. cereus (B17), B. brevis (EN63-1) and B. licheniformis (EN74-1) were tested for their potential activity against gray mold caused by Botrytis mali on Golden ...

In order to discover new compounds with good fungicidal activities, 32 pyrazole derivatives were designed and synthesized. The structures of the target compounds were confirmed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS), and their fungicidal activities against Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn, Valsa mali Miyabe et Yamada, Thanatephorus...
