Present and future potential of plant-derived products to control arthropods of veterinary and medical significance [PDF]
The use of synthetic pesticides and repellents to target pests of veterinary and medical significance is becoming increasingly problematic. One alternative approach employs the bioactive attributes of plant-derived products (PDPs). These are particularly

Hemocytes from Pediculus humanus humanus are hosts for human bacterial pathogens.
Pediculus humanus humanus is an human ectoparasite which represents a serious public health threat because it is vector for pathogenic bacteria. It is important to understand and identify where bacteria reside in human body lice to define new strategies ...
