Malaria is a global scourge. Although pyrethroid-based insecticide treated nets (pyrethroid ITNs) have dramatically reduced mortality due to malaria in the last 3 years, these nets are expected to lose their effectiveness, due to the emergence of pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles gambiae. New safe insecticides are desperately needed to kill ...

Malaria is a global scourge. Nearly three billion people are at risk of infection by malaria parasites, which causes an estimated one to two million deaths annually. For many in sub-Saharan Africa, especially children, insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) provide the only means of defense against Anopheles gambiae, the mosquito ...

The identification of dogwood borer pheromone represents a major advance in that: 1) a reliable pheromone-based monitoring system can be developed to provide growers with a means to determine infestation levels in orchards and nurseries enabling them to make informed management decision, 2) a more reproductively isolating synthetic pheromonal blend ...

Entomopathogenic nematodes may act as biological control agents to suppress insects and other pests. These nematodes invade and kill the pest and then reproduce inside the dead insect. Currently, entomopathogenic nematodes are commercially applied for pest suppression exclusively in aqueous suspension. The current invention is a novel method of ...
