Hutan Rimba Alam (HRA), Putrajaya is an urban forest which the habitat for various tropical rainforest species. A field survey was undertaken to state floristic composition, investigate soil characteristics and identify relationship between recorded plant communities characteristics. Six plots sized 10 × m square were established in a lowland area of 93 individual trees identified. Moreover, composition revealed vascular tree consisting botanical families, 15 genera, 27 species with...
Abstract The status of susceptible mosquito is important for monitoring and managing insecticide resistance in field population. purpose this study to profile the differential expression level enzymatic activities metabolic enzymes exhibited species Aedes aegypti , albopictus Culex quinquefasciatus from strain. fourth instar larvae each strain were subjected biochemical assay. total protein content Glutathione S-transferase (GST), α-esterase (α-est), β-esterase (β-est) Cytochrome P450 (Cyt...
In this study, the induction of glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymatic activities in Aedes albopictus under 24 h xenobiotic challenges was investigated. From LCMS analysis, 23 GST isoforms were identified Delta, Epsilon, Sigma, Zeta, Omega, and Iota classes, together with one GSTX1-1 isoform, both treated untreated samples. Using STRING 11.5, functional enrichment network Gene Ontology (GO) peptides found to be involved metabolic biological process (GO:0006749, p-value: 1.93 × 10−29),...
Aedes aegypti is responsible for transmitting various mosquito-borne diseases. Recently, there have been concerns about the negative impacts of insecticides used in vector control including insecticide resistance development mosquito population. These circumstances lead to efforts develop other strategies controlling vectors. As technology nanoparticles advances, zinc oxide (ZnO) potential as alternative chemical pesticides larvicides due their optical properties and widespread usage...
Abstract Context: Malaria, caused by Plasmodium parasites, has been a persistent threat to human health for centuries, causing significant illnesses and fatalities. The rise of drug-resistant strains diminished the efficacy conventional antimalarial medications, necessitating exploration alternative treatments. Ellagic acid emerged as promising candidate, demonstrating effectiveness in laboratory experiments impeding beta-hematin (hemozoin) formation mature falciparum stages. This research...
Abstract Despite Mass Drug Administration cases of Lymphatic filariasis still exist in several developing countries such as, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Southeast Asian countries. Culex quinquefasciatus is the major vector that dominant widespread mosquito distributed rural urban areas. This study aimed at determining diagnostic doses LC50 LC90 (lethal concentrations causes 50% 90% mortality respectively) commonly used insecticides for dengue control by Malaysian Ministry Health....
