Small mammal communities living in sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) may be sensitive to habitat isolation and invasion by exotic grass species. Yet there have been no spatially explicit models to improve our understanding of landscape-scale factors determining small mammal occurrence or abundance. We live-trapped small mammals at 186 locations in the Wyoming Basin Ecoregional Assessment area to devel...

A 29-year-old female, an aesthetician, developed occupational allergic contact dermatitis caused by extracts of crude drugs.

the essential oils of the aerial parts of three different artemisia species (a.scoparia, a. diffusa, a. turanica ) growing wildly in the northeast of iran were analyzed by gc-ms. twenty-two, twenty-six, and thirteen components were identified in the essential oils of these plants, respectively. the major constituents of the oil ofa. scoparia were b-pinene (16.10%), carvacrol (13.81%), limonene ...

The aerial parts of Artemisia chamaemelifolia Vill. afforded, in addition to five known sesquiterpene acids, a new 5-epi-cantabrenolic acid (6).

Haemonchus contortus is a blood-sucking abomasal parasite of small ruminants that is responsible for major losses to producers worldwide. Resistance of this nematode to commercial anthelmintics has produced a demand for alternative control methods. Plants in the genus Artemisia have traditionally been used as anthelmintics and whole plants and plant extracts have demonstrated activity against g...
