Two hundred soil samples from the A(p) horizon of a reed canarygrass field overlaying several different but related soils in northern Minnesota were analyzed for plant-parasitic nematodes and 22 edaphic factors. Pratylenchus penetrans was the predominant nematode taxon. Others were Aglenchus agricola, Tylenchorhynchus spp., Heterodera trifolii, Paratylenchus spp., Tylenchus maius, and Criconeme...

Magnusiomyces capitatus may cause uncommon yet severe infections, especially in patients with haematologic disorders. Diagnosis may be difficult and time-consuming and newer approaches are required including the MALDI-TOF technique implemented with the detection of fungal antigens in the body fluids. The recommended treatment includes amphotericin B alone or in combination with flucytosine. We ...

The effects of temperature on population development of 11 species of stunt nematodes in the subfamily Tylenchorhynchinae were compared on red clover or Kentucky bluegrass in constant-temperature tanks at 5-degree intervals from 10 to 35 C. The optimum temperature for population increase on red clover in 90 days was 30 C for Tylenchorhynchus agri, T. nudus, T. martini, and T. clarus, 25 C for T...

The antibacterial activity of essential oils extracted from Origanum compactum, Thymus capitatus, Foeniculum vulgare, and Rosmarinus officinalis was assessed with the well diffusion method a microbroth dilution assay against E. coli isolated carcasses rabbits. chemical composition these also determined by gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry (GC/MS). results this study indicate that hig...

Sixty rhizosphere soil samples of apple seedlings and rootstock were collected from six nurseries of Khuzdar and Kalat districts of Balochistan. Six different plant nematodes were found associated with the seedlings and rootstock. The most predominant nematode was Xiphinema americanum, whereas the nematode found from a single locality was Tylenchus butteus. A matrix of similarities with respect...

The paper reports the qualitative and quantitative composition and its antifungal activities of Thymus capitatus (L.) Hoffmanns. & Link, Lamiaceae, essential oils isolated by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of plants collected in Calabria, Southern Italy. The essential oils of 22 samples were analysed by GC-Flame ionization detection and GC/MS. A total of sixty five compounds were ident...

This study was carried out to evaluate the antibacterial activity of aqueous and organic extracts of Thymus capitatus L. (Lamiaceae) leaves and stems. Dried ground powder leaves and stems were extracted with water (aqueous extracts), ethanol, dichloromethane and hexane (Soxhlet extracts). The antibacterial activity of these extracts was evaluated against bacteria using disc diffusion method. Th...

Lamiaceae family comprise a wide range of medicinal and aromatic plant species with strong antioxidant properties multiple pharmaceutical applications in folk medicine. Mentha piperita L., Ocimum basilicum, Origanum vulgare L, Rosmarinus officinalis Salvia L. Thymus capitatus, are edible plants Libya, belonging to this family. The current work aims evaluate...

CONTEXT Despite several pharmacological applications of the medicinal plants in the Traditional Arabic Palestinian Herbal Medicine in Palestine (TAPHM), studies on their antioxidant properties are still scarce. OBJECTIVE This work evaluates the antioxidant and antitumor activities of the ethanol extracts from different parts of six plants: [Arum palaestinum Boiss (Araceae), Urtica pilulifera ...
