The main vector for the spread of dengue fever is female mosquito Aedes aegypti. In Indonesia, chemical larvicides are commonly used to control aegypti larvae. Bioinsecticides made from plants one option environmentally friendly larvae control. Leaves and flower breadfruit Artocarpus altilis contains toxic compound that can function as larvicides. This experimental study combination leaf expect...

In this study, two fungal strains (HC-Z1 and HC-Z2) from Hyphantria cunea (fall webworm) larvae were evaluated for their potential as biocontrol agents against the H. larvae. Based on morphological molecular (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region) characterization, identified Beauveria bassiana (HC-Z1: OP415530 HC-Z2: OP415531). To determine biological activities of strains, a concentration-response assay (1 ×...

The banana weevil (BW), Cosmopolites sordidus, is the main coleopteran pest of banana, causing up to 100% yield loss. In this study, we screened 20 isolates entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) for management BW. lab, eight Beauveria bassiana caused >50% mortality adult BW, whereas Metarhizium anisopliae and Isaria fumosorosea were less pathogenic. B. ICIPE 648, 660 273 most pathogenic, killing ≥80%...

In veterinary medicine, natural products provide an alternative to chemical agents for mite management. the present study, acaricidal efficacy of Urtica fissa leaf ethyl acetate extract against Sarcoptes scabiei mites was examined. The composition determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis. found be extremely toxic at a concentration 100 mg/ml (m/v), killin...

1 Entomological Research Institute, Ayub Agricultural Research Institute, Faisalabad, Pakistan 2 University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan ABSTRACT. A study was conducted at the Eco-toxicology laboratory in the Department of Agricultural Entomology, University of Agriculture Faisalabad, against three species Apis florea, A. dorsata and A. mellifera of honey bees, to check long-term surviv...

Thermal physiology of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) is a critical aspect of field performance and fitness. Thermal limits for survival and activity, and the ability of these limits to adjust (i.e., show phenotypic flexibility) depending on recent thermal history, are generally poorly established, especially for non-model nematode species. Here we report the acute thermal limits for survival,...

Worms are diseases caused by worms that need serious treatment. Sengkuang Dracontomelon dao (Blume) Merr & Rofle has the potential as an alternative worm treatment because it contains secondary metabolites i.e. alkaloids, saponins, tannins, flavonoids and triterpenoids which have activity anthelmintics. This study aims to determine activity, LC50 LT50 values ​​of sengkuang stem bark anthelm...
