Antigenic variation is an immune evasion strategy used by African trypanosomes, in which the parasites periodically switch expression of VSG genes that encode their protective variant surface glycoprotein coat. Two main routes exist for switching: changing transcriptional status between active and inactive copy site expression, called bloodstream site, or recombination reactions move silent VSGs copies into actively transcribed site. Nothing known about proteins control catalyze these...
In a field study in Hawaii, color-marked protein-deprived and protein-fed female melon flies, Bactrocera cucurbitae Coquillett, were released within canopies of unsprayed sorghum plants (a nonhost flies) outside border area or bait-sprayed open space that surrounded cucumbers, favored host flies. Application bait spray to sugarcane surrounding flies is common practice for fly control Hawaii. GF-120 Fruit Fly Bait proved very effective preventing females from alighting on cucumbers (23%...
BACKGROUND Given the physical properties of insecticides, there is often some movement these compounds within crop plants following foliar application. In this context, two formulations cyantraniliprole, an anthranilic diamide, was characterized for translocation to new growth, distribution a leaf and penetration through cuticle. RESULTS Upward cyantraniliprole plant growth via xylem confirmed using 14C-radiolabeled from Helicoverpa zea mortality on tomato leaves that had not been directly...
ABSTRACT Pathogenic trypanosomes undergo antigenic variation, whereby the glycoprotein molecules constituting cell surface coat are changed, parasite thus evading host’s immune response. On application of homologous antiserum in indirect immunofluorescence to a given variable antigen type Trypanosoma brucei, moves flagellar pocket region, which overlies Golgi apparatus. This redistribution, or capping, is temperature-dependent, occurring at 37 °C but not 0–4 °C. Patching does occur either...
The pre-feeding and feeding periods of larvae, nymphs adults Rhipicephalus appendiculatus on rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were investigated. Larvae required at least 8–9 days after hatching moulting respectively before they could attach start feeding, while 6–9 days. But longer starvation improved the proportion ticks that successfully fed. After attachment, there was always an initial period slow which followed by a phase very rapid engorged detached from host. 4–5 5–6 7–9 attachment.
As the world population grows towards 9 billion by 2050, it is projected that food production will need to increase 60%. A critical part of this growth includes safe and effective use insecticides reduce estimated 20-49% loss global crop yields owing pests. The development new help sustain protection overcome insecticide resistance.A novel class mesoionic compounds has been discovered, with exceptional insecticidal activity on a range Hemiptera Lepidoptera. These bind orthosteric site...
Irradiation of puparia in Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), sterile insect release programs can negatively affect adult fly performance. Emergence, survivorship, lure attraction, and mating competition tests were performed on irradiated unirradiated flies Hawaii. Unirradiated the Vienna-7 (tsl) strain had higher emergence, flight ability, survivorship compared with flies. In general, more responsive to trimedlure, but this effect was not consistent for all strains at...
The sterile insect technique (SIT) is used to control wild Mediterranean fruit fly introductions in California and Florida the U.S. In past, bait sprays containing malathion proved invaluable treating new outbreaks or large populations before use of SIT. Recently, a spinosad protein spray, GF-120, has been developed as possible alternative malathion, standard insecticide sprays. this study, protein-deficient protein-fed Vienna-7 (sterile, mass-reared, "male-only" strain) flies males females...
Although intravenous (i.v.) line placement is a common procedure in the emergency department (ED), it an uncomfortable experience for many patients. Topical analgesic agents are rarely used because they have long onsets of action and thereby cause unacceptable treatment delays. Cryoanaesthesia, use cooling to reduce pain, has been recognised years as potential pain management strategy. The purpose this study was determine whether instantaneous topical skin coolant spray reduces patient's...
Attraction and feeding responses of oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), melon cucurbitae (Coquillett), were determined for different protein baits. In separate choice attraction assays each species, significantly more flies arrived at stations with bait than water, but no differences existed among baits GF-120 Fruit Fly Bait, NF Naturalyte Provesta 621 autolyzed yeast extract, Mazoferm E802. comparison B. dorsalis, had 2.8 times responders a 4.8 better discrimination between...
Laboratory and field assays using insecticides for organic pest management were conducted on the blueberry maggot, Rhagoletis mendax Curran. Topical exposure of flies to spinosad (Entrust), pyrethrum (PyGanic 1.4 EC), azadirachtin (Aza-Direct), phosmet (Imidan 70-W) resulted in significantly higher mortality compared with water control after 2 24 h. After h, there no significant differences fly among treatments Entrust, PyGanic, or Imidan, whereas Aza-Direct was lower. Another laboratory...
Laboratory feeding trials evaluated fly survivorship on six insecticides (acetamiprid, clothianidin, deltamethrin, fipronil, imidacloprid, and spinosad) incorporated at 4, 40, 400 ppm in protein baits. Higher concentrations of resulted increased mortality. At all baits, except those there was a significantly higher mortality 4 d after the initial feeding, compared with flies that fed control bait. The presence clothianidin or imidacloprid baits led to less bait without insecticide. There...
A series of laboratory and field assays were performed to evaluate new methods for an attract-and-kill approach control blueberry maggot, Rhagoletis mendax Curran. In assays, fly mortality was similar among insecticide-treated matted paper, plastic, biodegradable sphere traps. Plastic traps baited with ammonium acetate captured significantly more flies than paper in whereas captures unbaited plastic Treatments containing imidacloprid resulted the highest amount knockdown, spheres coated this...
Four significant developments have occurred that amplify opportunity for certified organic growers to grow highbush blueberry ( Vaccinium corymbosum ) successfully. First, there is the 2002 U.S. Department of Agriculture national standard defines production practices and crop labels creates clarity evens competition. Second, we continued increase smallfruit vegetable sales related nutritional human health reasons market perception valuing produce more highly. Third, new tools are becoming...
