β-Triketone Nitisinone Kills Insecticide-Resistant Mosquitoes via Skin Absorption | Parasites and Vectors
Insecticide resistance among arthropods that transmit diseases of agricultural, veterinary and public health importance poses a serious threat to global vector control programmes. Previous studies have shown that blood-sucking arthropod vectors experience high mortality rates when ingestin...Read more -
A magic weapon for killing ants
Doug Mahoney is a writer who covers home improvement, outdoor electrical equipment, bug repellents, and (yes) bidets. We don’t want ants in our homes. But if you use the wrong ant control methods, you can cause the colony to split, making the problem worse. Prevent this with Terro T3...Read more -
Insecticide resistance and population structure of the invasive malaria vector Anopheles stephensi in the Fike region of Ethiopia
The invasion of Anopheles stephensi in Ethiopia may lead to an increase in malaria incidence in the region. Therefore, understanding the insecticide resistance profile and population structure of Anopheles stephensi recently detected in Fike, Ethiopia is crucial to guide vector control to ...Read more -
Quantitative Gibberellin Biosensor Reveals the Role of Gibberellins in Internode Specification in the Shoot Apical Meristem
Shoot apical meristem (SAM) growth is critical for stem architecture. Plant hormones gibberellins (GAs) play key roles in coordinating plant growth, but their role in the SAM remains poorly understood. Here, we developed a ratiometric biosensor of GA signaling by engineering the DELLA prot...Read more -
It’ll take a little extra effort to wash these 12 fruits and vegetables that are most likely to be contaminated with pesticides.
Pesticides and other chemicals are on almost everything you eat from the grocery store to your table. But we’ve compiled a list of the 12 fruits that are most likely to contain chemicals, and the 15 fruits that are least likely to contain chemicals. &...Read more -
The difference of Latex gloves, Ding Qing gloves and PVC gloves
First, the material is different 1. Latex gloves: made of latex processing. 2. Nitrile gloves: made of nitrile rubber processing. 3. PVC gloves: PVC as the main raw material. Second, different characteristics 1. Latex gloves: latex gloves have wear resistance, puncture resistance; Resistant to a...Read more -
New laboratory gloves from Kimberly-Clark Professional.
Microorganisms can be carried into laboratory processes by operators, and while reducing human presence in critical areas can help, there are other ways that can help. One of the best ways to minimize risk to humans is to protect the environment from both living and non-living partic...Read more -
Biological activity of cabbage seed powder and its compounds as an environmentally friendly larvicide against mosquitoes
To effectively control mosquitoes and reduce the incidence of diseases they carry, strategic, sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives to chemical pesticides are needed. We evaluated seed meals from certain Brassicaceae (family Brassica) as a source of plant-derived isothiocyanates ...Read more -
The mimetic Zaxinon (MiZax) effectively promotes the growth and productivity of potato and strawberry plants in desert climates.
Climate change and rapid population growth have become key challenges to global food security. One promising solution is the use of plant growth regulators (PGRs) to increase crop yields and overcome unfavorable growing conditions such as desert climates. Recently, the carotenoid zaxinone and...Read more -
The European Commission has extended the validity of glyphosate for another 10 years after member states failed to reach an agreement.
Roundup boxes sit on a store shelf in San Francisco, Feb. 24, 2019. An EU decision on whether to allow the use of the controversial chemical herbicide glyphosate in the bloc has been delayed for at least 10 years after member states failed to reach an agreement. The chemical is widely use...Read more -
