The activity of amitraz against infestations of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus     

A. J. Barry Haigh  Moses M. Gichang 《Pest management science》1980,11(6):674-678

Tick-infested adult cattle were hand sprayed with solutions containing 178 or 250 mg amitraz litre^?1, prepared from a miscible oil concentrate formulation. Both concentrations achieved clearance of infestation within 7 h of spraying. All stages of tick, collected from both sprayings, subsequently died with the exception of two engorged nymphs, which moulted successfully, and six half-fully engorged females, which all laid small batches of eggs. The eggs from the ticks treated at the higher rate failed to hatch. Expulsion of adult Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, applied daily to a single bovine which had been sprayed once at the higher rate, ceased on the 11th day after spraying. All ticks expelled from the animal died within 24 h. First feeding on the animal was visible on day-13 and fully engorged females were first observed 18 days after spraying.  相似文献   

Determination of bromide ion content of cereals and other foodstuffs by specific ion electrode     

H. Johnathon Banks  James M. Desmarchelier  Jane A. Elek 《Pest management science》1976,7(6):595-603

A method is presented which determines the bromide ion content of foodstuffs using a bromide specific ion electrode. For low levels of bromide (< 10 mg/kg) or for accurate work, bromide was extracted from the ground commodity with water and then separated from interfering compounds by ion-exchange chromatography before estimation. Alternatively, bromide ion can be estimated approximately by direct measurement on the aqueous extracts after heating to denature proteins. The method was checked against three standard methods of bromide estimation in foods, using wheat that had been repeatedly fumigated with methyl bromide. The equipment required is inexpensive and can be adapted for field use. The method has been used to determine the bromide and chloride contents that occur naturally in wheat, maize, copra, soya beans and sorghum.  相似文献   

Pesticide usage on bananas with special references to fungicides     

James Waller 《Pest management science》1978,9(5):478-482

Bananas (including plantains) are widely grown throughout the tropics both for local consumption and for export. Pesticide usage is confined largely to the export crop because of its value and the susceptibility to diseases of varieties suitable for the export market. Most of the bananas grown for export are produced in Latin America and the Caribbean. Weed control with herbicides is particularly valuable in young banana plantations before a mature canopy is produced and when weeds compete with the shallow rooting system. Insecticides are used to control high populations of the banana weevil and may be used against fruit thrips. Nematicides are used extensively to control the banana root nematode and granular applications are now replacing soil injections. Fungicidal control of Sigatoka leaf diseases and fruit diseases has been practised for many years and is essential for the production of high quality, exportgrade fruit. Changes in the chemicals used and in application techniques have brought important benefits in recent years and genetic resistance is likely to play a large part in disease control in the future.  相似文献

Etiology of patent ductus arteriosus in dogs     

Buchanan JW  Patterson DF 《Journal of veterinary internal medicine / American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine》2003,17(2):167-171

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is the most common congenital heart disease in dogs and usually causes heart failure and death unless corrected at a young age. Previous histologic studies in a line of dogs derived from Miniature Poodles with hereditary PDA identified varying degrees of hypoplasia and asymmetry of ductus-specific smooth muscle and the presence of aortalike elastic tissue in the ductus wall sufficient to cause patency. To determine if similar structural abnormalities cause PDA in other dogs, serial-section, 3-dimensional histology of ductal architecture was studied in 8 non-Poodle purebred dogs with PDA with no immediate family history of PDA. Morphologic abnormalities were observed in 7 of 8 dogs with PDA and essentially were the same as those in dogs known to have a hereditary form of PDA. These findings suggest that apparently sporadic PDA in these breeds is caused by a genetic defect in the structure of the ductus arteriosus that is similar or identical to that in the Poodle. The relatives of dogs with PDA, particularly parents, offspring, and siblings, should be screened for evidence of PDA. Dogs with PDA should not be used for breeding, regardless of breed.  相似文献   

Adjuvants in veterinary vaccines: modes of action and adverse effects     

Spickler AR  Roth JA 《Journal of veterinary internal medicine / American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine》2003,17(3):273-281

Vaccine adjuvants are chemicals, microbial components, or mammalian proteins that enhance the immune response to vaccine antigens. Interest in reducing vaccine-related adverse effects and inducing specific types of immunity has led to the development of numerous new adjuvants. Adjuvants in development or in experimental and commercial vaccines include aluminum salts (alum), oil emulsions, saponins, immune-stimulating complexes (ISCOMs), liposomes, microparticles, nonionic block copolymers, derivatized polysaccharides, cytokines, and a wide variety of bacterial derivatives. The mechanisms of action of these diverse compounds vary, as does their induction of cell-mediated and antibody responses. Factors influencing the selection of an adjuvant include animal species, specific pathogen, vaccine antigen, route of immunization, and type of immunity needed.  相似文献

This multi-author paper reviews current work by USDA-ARS scientists in the field of chemical ecology. Work with pheromones, the discovery and development of the codling moth kairomone, studies on insect-plant interactions and chemically mediated tritrophic plant-insect interactions have led to practical methods for control of important insect pests.  相似文献   

Toxicity of cyanogen to insects of stored grain     

Hooper JL  Desmarchelier JM  Ren Y  Allen SE 《Pest management science》2003,59(3):353-357

Range-finding studies on the toxicity of cyanogen to all stages of five species of stored product Coleoptera are reported. The species were Rhyzopertha dominica (F), Sitophilus granarius (L), Sitophilus Oryzae (L), Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val and Ephestia cautella (Walker). Exposures for 24 h to cyanogen at 1.3 mg litre(-1) controlled all external stages. Control of internal stages of Sitophilus species was achieved by a 5-day exposure to initial concentrations between 13.7 and 27.4 mg litre(-1), whereas R. dominica was controlled at 13.7 mg litre(-1). Cyanogen showed similar toxicity to all tested external stages and, in this respect, was more similar to methyl bromide than to phosphine. Its toxicity to insects increased with both relative humidity and concentration of carbon dioxide. Cyanogen was toxic to insects whether applied as a gas or in an aqueous solution.  相似文献
