Susceptibility of Tsetse Species to Glossina pallidipes Salivary Gland Hypertrophy Virus (GpSGHV)
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Salivary gland hytrosaviruses (SGHVs, family Hytrosaviridae) are non-occluded dsDNA viruses that are pathogenic to some dipterans. SGHVs primarily replicate in salivary glands (SG), thereby inducing overt salivary gland hypertrophy (SGH) symptoms in ...

Biological Control of Agricultural Pests
The American Biology Teacher, 1955 The use of natural enemies to suppress agoricultural pests is called biological control. Its practical value was first demonstrated in California in 1889 in a very spectacular fashion. The citrus industry was then threatened with ruin from the ravages of the destructive cottony cushion scale. This insect was killing the trees and forcing the growers to
