Evaluation of synthetic repellents on mosquito nets in experimental huts against insecticide-resistant Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes.

, 2006
Owing to the development of pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles gambiae, there is a need to develop chemical alternatives for use on mosquito nets. Synthetic insect repellents are widely used for personal protection as skin or clothing applications.

Methyl dihydrojasmonate and lilial are the constituents with an "off-label" insect repellence in perfumes.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Insect repellents are widely used to fend off nuisance mosquitoes and, more importantly, to reduce or eliminate mosquito bites in areas where viruses and other vector-borne diseases are circulating. Synthesized more than six decades ago, DEET is the most

Promising Aedes aegypti repellent chemotypes identified through integrated QSAR, virtual screening, synthesis, and bioassay. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Molecular field topology analysis, scaffold hopping, and molecular docking were used as complementary computational tools for the design of repellents for Aedes aegypti, the insect vector for yellow fever, chikungunya, and dengue fever. A large number of

Wild pig habitat use impacted by prescribed fire in the William B. Bankhead National Forest, USA

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Natural resource management activities like integrated wild pig control programs and 3–5‐year interval prescribed burning can reduce wild pig activity and habitat but can have an unintended side effect of allowing them to thrive in sensitive and protected areas, where access and tools are restricted.

Smart insects repeller

Indonesian Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2020
<span>One of the key issues for those involved in farming and greenhouse is the use of pesticides. In a recent headline, there has been an epidemic of insect infestation that has destroyed 211 hectares of rice plants. These concerns have led to the discussion of possible over-use of pesticides that are not just killing dangerous pests, but also ...

Generalist‐pollinated Arabis alpina exhibits floral scent variation at multiple scales

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Plants that depend on animals for reproduction often use complex floral traits to attract pollinators. Floral scent is recognized as part of the pollinator attraction module and can be shaped by plant‐pollinator interactions. In recent decades, research has started to reveal the dynamic properties of floral scent, identifying patterns of spatial and ...

Repellent, irritant and toxic effects of plant EO compounds on the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae ss Giles [PDF]

, 2013
yrethroids resistance has become widespread among malaria vector Anopheles gambiae populations in Africa. Alternative insecticides must be considered to prevent diseases transmission by An. gambiae bites. The long lasted treated bed nets are particularly

Rediscovery of Passiflora clypeophylla (subgenus Decaloba): a highly threatened and narrow endemic species found within a karstic canyon in Guatemala

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Passiflora clypeophylla, an endemic species to the Guatemalan karstic forests last seen in 1889 and deemed extinct, was rediscovered in the Department of Alta Verapaz, east of Cobán. The species was known only from a single specimen hailed from the type locality, Rubel Cruz, where it has been found again. An additional location has been identified in a
