Molluscicidal Activity of Extracts and Fractions From Hagenia abyssinica, Rosa abyssinica, and Cucumis ficifolius Against Biomphalaria and Bulinus Snails. [PDF]

J Parasitol Res
Background: Schistosomiasis continues to be a major public health concern in Ethiopia. Eliminating the intermediate host snails is an effective and cost‐efficient strategy for preventing and controlling schistosomiasis transmission. However, chemical molluscicides have limitations due to their toxicity to nontarget aquatic organisms, environmental ...

The Use of Flocculation as a Preconcentration Step in the Microalgae Harvesting Process. [PDF]

Physiol Plant
ABSTRACT Flocculation is a widely utilized separation technique in colloid chemistry, the chemical industry, and wastewater treatment. However, its application in microalgal biomass production and downstream processing remains limited. Biomass harvesting represents a significant cost factor in large‐scale microalgae production, with the separation of ...

Study bioprospecting of medicinal plant extracts of the semiarid northeast: contribution to the control of oral microorganisms. [PDF]

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2012
Dental pathologies can be caused by plaque‐forming bacteria and yeast, which reside in the oral cavity. The bacteria growing in dental plaque, a naturally occurring biofilm, display increased resistance to antimicrobial agents. The objective was the evaluation of a preclinical assay of medicinal plants of the semiarid region from the northeast against ...

Plant stem bark extractivism in the northeast semiarid region of Brazil: a new aport to utilitarian redundancy model. [PDF]

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2012
We use the model of utilitarian redundancy as a basis for research. This model provides predictions that have not been tested by other research. In this sense, we sought to investigate the stem bark extraction between preferred and less‐preferred species by a rural community in Caatinga environment.
