ATTRACTION OF LUTZOMYIA LONGIPALPIS TO SYNTHETIC SEX-AGGREGATION PHEROMONE: EFFECT OF RELEASE RATE AND PROXIMITY OF ADJACENT PHEROMONE SOURCES.

Attraction of Lutzomyia longipalpis to synthetic sex-aggregation pheromone: Effect of release rate and proximity of adjacent pheromone sources.

In South America, the Protist parasite that causes visceral leishmaniasis, a potentially fatal human disease, is transmitted by blood-feeding female Lutzomyia longipalpis sand flies.A synthetic copy of the male produced sex-aggregation pheromone offers new opportunities for vector control applications.We have previously shown that the pheromone pla

Strong cosmic censorship conjecture for a charged BTZ black hole

Abstract The strong cosmic censorship conjecture, whose validation asserts the deterministic nature of general relativity, has been studied for charged BTZ black holes in three dimensional general relativity, as well as for Nth order pure Lovelock gravity in d=2N+1 spacetime dimensions.Through both analytical inert 40mm grenade and numerical routes

Non-recessive Bt toxin resistance conferred by an intracellular cadherin mutation in field-selected populations of cotton bollworm.

Transgenic crops producing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins have been planted widely to control insect pests, yet evolution of resistance by the pests can reduce the benefits of this approach.Recessive mutations in the extracellular domain of toxin-binding cadherin proteins that confer resistance to Bt toxin Cry1Ac by disrupting toxin binding hav
