Treatments of ecto- and endoparasitic infestations cats adopt drugs based on imidacloprid moxidectin. Therefore, the objective our study was comparing spot-on applied complex drugs, which have different action mechanisms their active agents, during cats. We provide data effectiveness antiparasitic drug Megastop Ultra for Cats, in comparison to Advocate Cats drug, used treatment prophylaxis bree...

The association between the ectoparasitic mite, Erythraeus Latreille (Acari: Prostigmata: Parasitengona) and psyllid Russelliana adunca Burckhardt (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) is reported for first time. Larval erythraeid mites are not common on psyllids, therefore this report adds a new host widens distribution of mite in South America.

Condition factor of fish species is very important parameter for understanding fish biology and pathology. For that purpose, we sampled 120 fish individuals from the Sava River at four locations (Posavina region), where most of them belongs to the Cyprinidae family while the others belonging to the families: Percidae, Siluridae, Ameiuridae, Esocidae and Gobiidae. In total fish sample we found t...

BACKGROUND The transportation of camp firewood infested by non-native forest pests such as Asian long-horned beetle (ALB) and emerald ash borer (EAB) has severe impacts on North American forests. Once invasive forest pests are established, it can be difficult to eradicate them. Hence, preventing the long-distance transport of firewood by individuals is crucial. METHODS Here we develop a stoch...

A computer software system is described that uses digitized color information from aerial color infrared transparencies to detect the presence of citrus mealybug (Pseudococcus citri Risso), brown soft scale (Coccus hesperidum L.), and Rio Grande gummosis in individual citrus trees. The color coordinates at each spatial point, and color differences at adjacent points are used to locate the trees...
