background : one of the best ways to control the malaria disease and to be protected human against anopheles mos­quito biting is the use of repellents. throughout repellents, herbal ones may be an appropriate and safe source for protection. methods : chemical constituents of achillea vermiculata and satoreja hortensis were determined by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. efficacy and t...

Chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are identifiable by four spatially conserved Cysteine residues in their primary structure or by two disulfide bridges in their tertiary structure according to the previously identified olfactory specific-D related proteins. A genomics- and bioinformatics-based approach is taken in the present study to identify the putative CSPs in the malaria-carrying mosquito, Anop...

anopheles dthali patton which is one of the 7 malaria vectors in iran was not taken in to consideration until november 1965 when definite sporozaites were found for the first time in its salivary glands in bandar abbas, south of iran. afterwards, efforts have been made to get complete ecological and epidemiological information on this species. the areas of study were two districts of mamasani, ...

tagetes minuta l. is considered as an annual plant growing in the temperate zones of south america. it has been used as carminative, anti-inflammatory, anti-abortion,vermifuge, bronchodilator and hypotensive. in the current study the locally cultured plant of tagetes minuta l. was studied for phytochemical and larvicidal properties.the phytochemical analysis of aerial parts of the plant exhibit...
