Eighty patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) underwent T cell-depleted stem cell transplantation from an HLA-identical sibling, with add-back of donor T cells on days 30 to 45 and days 60 to 100 in patients in whom grade 2 or greater acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) developed. The outcomes for 54 patients with chronic-phase (CP) and 26 with advanced-phase (AP) disease were as follo...

The Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella Hübner (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is a major stored product pest that is found throughout the world. In this study, the effect of oral exposure to Bacillus thuringiensis (Berliner) subsp. kurstaki (Bacillales: Bacillaceae) and azadirachtin was evaluated in third instar P. interpunctella under laboratory conditions. The median lethal concentration (LC50)...

Cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) is one of the most destructive insect pests on many crops in the world that has been found to develop resistance against conventional insecticides. Using insecticides with different modes of action may result in appropriate control of the pest and delay insecticide resistance development. In this study, lethal and sublethal effects of emamectin ben...

Hormesis for the intractable pests can be dreadful, but natural enemies of pests, it is a puissant strategy in optimizing their mass rearing. We report multigenerational stimulatory effects widely used insecticide, imidacloprid, on demographic traits an important egg parasitoid Trichogramma chilonis Ishii. The study investigated consequences sublethal (LC5), low lethal (LC30), and median (LC50)...

Demographic toxicology is recommended for toxicity determination of the long term effects of a pesticide since it gives a more accurate and efficient measure of the effect of a pesticide. Thus, in the current study the sublethal effects of pirimicarb (carbamate insecticide) two concentrations of LC30 and LC10 were used against third instar larvae of Hippodamia variegata (Goeze) in order to dete...

Tetranychus truncatus Ehara (Acari: Tetranychidae) is one of the serious pests that infests different agricultural crops in field and greenhouse crops, its distribution limited to mostly Asian countries. The experiments were conducted know effectiveness concentrations bifenazate against T. truncatus, evaluate compare demographic parameters on host plant Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet (Fabaceae), w...

Resistance to phosphine fumigation in stored insects continues be challenging managing these pests worldwide. The role of detoxification enzymes metabolizing is yet explored fully. dose-response mortality against was assessed this study from six field populations Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) collected across India during 2021–23 at the Division Entomology, ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Inst...
