Problems caused by arthropod pests to livestock production are increasing due to new legal restrictions on pesticide use, insurgence of resistance to insecticides in pest populations and climate change. RNA interference (RNAi) is a novel approach to pest control based on specific gene silencing in target species, characterised by a selective action ...

First nationwide surveillance of Culex pipiens complex and Culex torrentium mosquitoes demonstrated the presence of Culex pipiens biotype pipiens/molestus hybrids in Germany [PDF]
Mosquitoes and other arthropods may transmit medically important pathogens, in particular viruses such as West Nile virus. The presence of suitable hosts and competent vectors for those zoonotic viruses is essential for an enzootic transmission, which is

Bioactive Phenolate Salts: Thymol Salts
Fine tuning via salt formation: The present work summarizes the synthesis and characterization of thymol‐metal/ammonium salts as representative phenol‐containing bioactive molecules. The solubility, thermal properties, and evaporation rate of thymol salts were studied relative to native thymol. The in vitro release of copper from Cu‐thymol in water and

The mixture of hydroxylated cyclic acetals, obtained from condensation of citronellal with glycerol, was tested for its repellency against mosquitoes and showed a longer‐lasting protection in comparison to DEET. Abstract BACKGROUND Several essential oils, including citronella (lemongrass, Cymbopogon sp., Poaceae), are well‐known mosquito repellents.

A review on invasive false indigo bush (Amorpha fruticosa L.): Nuisance plant with multiple benefits
Amorpha fruticosa L. represents an invasive plant causing a nuisance and degrading native biodiversity on a variety of wet and mesic habitats throughout the Northern Hemisphere. On the other hand, the plant species possesses numerous beneficial applications including phytochemical and biocoenotic uses, as well as ecosystem services.

Cloning and characterization of prophenoloxidase A3 (proPOA3) from Culex pipiens pallens [PDF]
The prophenoloxidase subunit A3 (proPOA3) gene was cloned from Culex pipiens pallens, which had an open reading frame of 2061 bp encoding a putative 686 amino acid protein. The deduced amino acid sequence shares 98% with proPOA3 from Culex quinquefasciatus. ProPOA3 is expressed at all developmental stages of C. pipiens pallens.

Studies on the life cycle of Culex pipiens pallens in Korea
The present studies were carried out, under natural room condition from June to July in 1969. 1. The period required for growth of eggs and larva varied according to various temperatures and methods of rearing. 2. The average number of eggs laid by the Culex pipiens pallens was 137 per egg raft. 3.
