Annually, the Philippines is burdened by a high number of infections and deaths due to Dengue. This disease caused Dengue virus (DENV) transmitted from one human host another female Aedes aegypti mosquito. Being developing country, most high-risk areas in are resource-limited cannot afford equipment for detection monitoring. Moreover, traditional clinical diagnoses DENV infection costly time-consuming require expertise. Hence, it important establish effective vector control surveillance...
The cocoa pod borer (CPB) Conopomorpha cramerella (Snellen) (Lepidoptera: Gracillaridae) is one of the major constraints for production in South East Asia. In addition to cultural and chemical control methods, autocidal tactics such as Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) could be an efficient currently strategy, however SIT implementation will depend on population genetics targeted pest. aim present work was search suitable microsatellite loci genome CPB that partially sequenced. Twelve...
Higher intake of plant protein is associated with lower risk in degenerative diseases caused by oxidative stress, thereby placing enormous demand the identification plant-based sources like legumes. Rice bean (Vigna umbellata) known to be a great source low-cost and good nutritional quality for utilization food products. This study characterized soluble hydrolyzed proteins from rice beans assessed their antioxidant properties vitro. The total were extracted using 35 mM potassium phosphate...
