Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global challenge that disproportionately affects low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Environmental contamination by resistant bacteria from animal production facilities driver of the spread AMR through food chain, requiring robust one-health control approach. Traditional culture-based surveillance time-consuming less sensitive, fails to fully capture spectrum AMR, evolutionary trends, epidemiological patterns spread. Whole-genome sequencing...
A complex of Lepidopteran pests is a worldwide problem in crucifers, including cabbage and cauliflower. This pest includes mainly diamondback moth (DBM), semilooper cutworm. Many control measures rely on the intense use synthetics, which has led to development resistance caused adverse environmental consequences. The bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) been identified as most widely used microbial agent. objectives this study were isolate, identify formulate indigenous Bt strains test...
Hevea brasiliensis (natural rubber) is one of the major economically important plantation crops in Sri Lanka. Traditionally, rubber was grown mainly wet zone country. Currently, cultivation being expanded to intermediate and dry zone. These new growing areas are known as non-traditional areas. Corynespora leaf fall disease regarded most destructive foliar has caused a devastation industry resulting remarkable economic lass Lankan industry. The causative agent fungus, cassiicola....
