Knowing a chemical composition of preferred feed plants the Turkestan termite will enable development effective and available agents to be used for its control, that is particularly important during period rapid population growth global warming. In this work, compositions ensure normal – moisture, components organic extracts, aqueous pectins, hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin reducing sugars hav...

The main vector of Brugia malayi in the small endemic focus on Hachijo-koshima Island was determined to be Ochlerotatus togoi (as Aedes togoi) [1]. As to Wuchereria bancrofti, many species of mosquitoes were experimentally examined for susceptibility in the laboratory as by Mochizuki in 1911 and 1913 [2, 3], Yamada in 1927 [4], Fujisaki in 1958 and 1959 [5, 6], and Omori in 1962 [7]. The result...

During the present study, detailed mosquito surveys were carried out from various habitats of developed areas, gardens, slums and surrounding villages Chandigarh June 2017 to November 2019 explore fauna. Six species Culex pipiens L group recorded with maximum distribution quinquefasciatus Say (89.61%) followed by univittatus Theobald (6.39%) while, rest viz; vagans Wiedemann, Cx. hutchinsoni Ba...

This study reports 30 species of Lepidoptera previously known from either the Palearctic or the Nearctic that are newly recorded as Holarctic. For 28 of these species, their intercontinental distributions were initially detected through DNA barcode analysis and subsequently confirmed by morphological examination; two Palearctic species were first detected in North America through morphology and...
