ABSTRACT Tularemia, a zoonosis caused by Francisella tularensis , is considered endemic to the Balkan Peninsula. The main reservoirs of this disease are rodents and lagomorphs, which usually show no clinical signs potential source for other animals humans. presence F. in tissues Serbia was examined first time. were collected near walking tracks places recreation forest areas Belgrade. A total 96 mice three locations autumn 2023. Tissue samples lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys taken autopsy,...

In addition to having a negative impact on the health of people and domestic animals, rodents often cause enormous damage environment by disrupting natural biodiversity. The impacts in urban rural areas have required intensive use rodentcides spite proven risk secondary poisoning non-target predators scavengers. Continuous rodenticides has led environmental pollution through their retention environment. Commensal are predominantly managed with anticoagulant rodenticides, which very...

Preservation of the appearance, structure and most importantly attractiveness baits targeting harmful rodents over extended periods their exposure is one main tasks in process bait formulation. The impact several preservatives, different methods homogenization components, base-paraffin ratios on extension longevity base was examined under controlled laboratory conditions. Baits based ground maize grain were exposed to unfavourable environmental conditions, such as high temperature...

Introduction This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and molecular characterization of Leptospira species in Belgrade, Serbia, an area where this disease is underexplored. Specifically, sought employ multilocus sequence typing analyses fill gap understanding diversity distribution within region. Methods A comprehensive analysis was conducted on kidney samples obtained from Norway rats ( Rattus norvegicus ) urban environment. The utilized diagnostic techniques including real-time PCR...

The common vole, Microtus arvalis, which is prone to cyclic overpopulation, poses a significant threat sustainable alfalfa production by either chewing shoots periodically or gnawing and damaging roots permanently. In areas with established vole colonies, the density of plants was shown decrease 55.3–63.4%. Simultaneously, number decreased 60.9–71.7%. These experiments were conducted in compliance an EPPO standard method fields at three geographically remote sites. experiment tested efficacy...

The paper presents the first data on slug mites Riccardoella (Riccardoella) limacum (Schrank) and R. (Proriccardoella) oudemansi Thor (Acari: Ereynetidae) in Serbia. two parasitic species were detected seven of snails slugs (Gastropoda, Pulmonata) limacum, which is a specialized snail parasite, was found Helix pomatia L. H. lucorum L family Helicidae. exclusively species: Arion lusitanicus Mabille (Arionidae), Tandonia budapestensis (Hazay) (Milacidae), Limacus flavus (L.), Limax maximus...

Specifically, sought employ multilocus sequence typing analyses fill gap understanding diversity distribution within region. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on kidney samples obtained from Norway rats (Rattus novegicus) urban environments. The utilized diagnostic techniques including real-time PCR targeting lipL32 gene...

Control of brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) is an indispensable measure protection human population and domestic animals, aimed at preventing the spread infectious diseases, a goods commodities that rat can damage by its presence activities. Rodent control procedures in environments with unfavourable conditions, such as high temperature humidity, may fail due to reduced bait palatability caused degradation. Baits were prepared based on OEPP/ EPPO recommendations, while ECHA recommendation was...

The protection of quality and safety stored products requires adequate regular measures from harmful rodents. Poisonous baits in a variety formulations, primarily those based on cereals, are the most widely applied method rodent control. Providing rodenticide that durable over extended periods time under adverse environmental conditions is an evident challenge for successful present study focused examining effects particle size maize- wheat-based bait carriers longevity unfavourable...

After the vkorc1 gene was first identified, changes occurring in have been considered one of main reasons reduced susceptibility house mice to anticoagulants. A no-choice feeding test conducted according standard EPPO (2004 EPPO. 2004. Efficacy evaluation rodenticides: testing rodents for resistance anticoagulant rodenticides – PP1/198(1), (2004): efficacy plant protection products miscellaneous. Rodenticides. 5:65–71. [Google Scholar]) methodology. Animals were fed 21 days on baits...

The effect of cinnamon (Cinnamomi zeylanicum) and clove (Eugenia caryophyllata) essential oils on the acceptibility cereal-based baits to house mice in storage facilities was examined. effects three concentrations, 0.5, 0.75 1 %, were tested for optimization purposes. experiments performed a mill storage, another seeds seedlings. Attractiveness examined concentrations statistically significant, compared placebo bait, within seven days experiment. On seventh day, average consumption...

Several options of protection organic cereals (winter and spring wheat, rye maize) from insect rodent pests, using a combination traps (with or without pheromone/ attractant) sticky tapes no chemicals, were tested in warehouse over the summerspring season 2019/2020. Temperature was 14-29?C humidity around 50%. The average grain moisture winter wheat 10-11%, while it 12-14% maize grain, temperature all 13-27?C. Regarding stored-product five coleopteran, two moth one Psocoptera species...

During any forest renewal process, human activity disturbs ecosystems and creates conditions for development of certain species rodents.At the beginning recovery process in areas, sources seed material or herbaceous plant cover rich nutrients are readily available, favoring populations small rodents, especially mice voles.We tested effectiveness a preparation based on active ingredient difenacoum applications forests under rodent infestation category four.The rodenticide Ratak Forst,...

The effects of 0.75 % concentration cinnamon essential oil on bait attractiveness and total biological efficacy bromadiolone difenacoum rodenticides to the house mouse were tested in practice. experiments conducted storages with stable populations for which no resistance anticoagulant had been previously reported. A statistically significant difference was detected between baits. Consumption baits supplemented 74 higher than consumption without oil. average controlling mice 96 %. Cinnamon...
