Pitt USDA APHIS Wildlife Services, National Wildlife Research Center, Hawaii Field Station, Hilo, Hawaii ABSTRACT: The National Wildlife Research Center (NWRC) and its predecessor laboratories have a long history of developing ma- terials and methods for managing rodents and the damage they cause. The NWRC has been influential in exploring, developing, and maintaining legal uses of many traditional field rodenticides such as strychnine and zinc phosphide. Products have been developed for managing rodents in a variety of locales, and for managing a variety of species, from commensal rodents in urban areas, to pocket gophers and mountain beaver in forests, prairie dogs and ground squirrels on rangelands, and nutria and beaver in wetlands. Consid- erable research has also been conducted on developing methods of managing rodents in underdeveloped countries. Recent efforts by NWRC have focused on development of tools for managing invasive rodents in conservation areas such as island ecosystems and development of alternative, nonlethal control methods. -
Toxicity of Pyrethorids Co-Administered with Sesame Oil Against Housefly Musca Domestica L
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE & BIOLOGY 1560–8530/2007/09–5–782–784 http://www.fspublishers.org Toxicity of Pyrethorids Co-administered with Sesame Oil against Housefly Musca domestica L. SOHAIL AHMED1 AND MUHAMMAD IRFANULLAH Department of Agri-Entomology, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad–38040, Pakistan 1Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The susceptibility of a laboratory reared strain of Musca domestica L. to cypermethrin 10 EC, fenpropathrin 20 EC, fenvalerate 20 EC and lambda cyhalothrin 2.5 EC, at different ranges of concentrations (250 to 2500 ppm) of the formulated insecticides in acetone alone and in combination with sesame oil in 1:1 and 1:2 ratio of insecticide: sesame oil was investigated. These concentrations in a volume of 5 mL were added to 25 g of granulated sugar in a petridish. House flies were fed on the insecticide coated sugar for 48 h. Knockdown and mortality data were recorded after 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 48 h and subjected to probit analysis. KD50 values of cypermethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, fenpropathrin and fenvalerate in 1:1 ratio with sesame oil were 4297, 17188, 2324 and 8487 ppm, respectively as compared to 1915, 15034, 2608 and 4005 ppm respectively when these insecticides were applied alone. Similar fashion was seen in context of LC50 values. The pyrethroid + sesame oil combination in two ratios does not show the synergism in M. domestica.

ISSN: 0975-8585 Research Journal of Pharmaceutical, Biological and Chemical Sciences Risk Alleviation Of Pesticides In Agriculture: From History To Analytical Techniques. Jojiya Grace George, and Aneesh TP*. Amrita School of Pharmacy, Amrita University, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham,AIMS Health Sciences Campus, Kochi, Kerala, India. ABSTRACT Population explosion leads to the exploitation of agricultural field to meet the supply of food products (mainly vegetables and fruits). Before first century onwards the usage of pesticide was started to promote the growth of food products and in the present, biotechnological strategies are adopted for pest control along with synthetic pesticides. The demand for maximization of productivity is achieved by the application of synthetic pesticides. Apart from its benefits, its misuse predominates and generates serious consequences. The categorization of pesticides can be done according to their source, mode of action, nature of pest and also on their chemical nature. Excessive and inappropriate usage of pesticides undoubtfully leads to poisoning and various instances of pesticide poisoning are being reported every year. These incidences of pesticide poisoning tragedy include Endosulphan poisoning, Tragedy of Tauccamarca, Seveso disaster etc. These pesticides create serious health hazards ranging from short term effects like vomiting to long term effects including cancer and neurological problems. Analytical laboratories contribute for reducing its intensity to humans and to environment through preliminary screening techniques and comprehensive screening procedures like HPLC, LCMS, GC and GCMS. These are efficient and powerful methods of pesticide determination in vegetables and fruits. The scenario of pesticide usage is complex and hence, care has to be taken by the government and public to lower its usage and to promote environmental stability and social health. -

Notwendigkeit Der Testung Von Biozidprodukten Und Deren Eluaten
Environmental Research of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety Project number: (FKZ) 3713 64 417 Report number: [entered by the UBA library] Necessity of testing biocidal products and their eluates within the regulatory authorization pro- cess aiming for an adequate environmental as- sessment of mixtures – extending the database for wood preservative products by Anja Coors 1, Pia Vollmar 1, Frank Sacher 2 1 ECT Oekotoxikologie GmbH, Böttgerstraße 2 – 14, 65439 Flörsheim am Main, Ger- many 2 TZW: DVGW-Technologiezentrum Wasser, Karlsruher Straße 84, 76139 Karlsruhe, Germany On behalf of the German Environment Agency Completion date November 2016 Environmental Risk Assessment of Biocidal Products as Mixtures Abstract Biocidal products are formulated preparations that contain one or more active substances and addi- tives added to serve various functions. They thereby represent intentional mixtures of chemical sub- stances that may reach the environment in their initial or in a changed composition. The present pro- ject addressed three aspects in a mixture risk assessment of biocidal products, which is required dur- ing the regulatory authorisation. These aspects range from direct regulatory application (component- based aquatic risk assessment of products) to more science-oriented exploratory work (indication for synergistic interactions and prediction of mixture toxicity in terrestrial organisms). No indication for synergistic interaction was found for the effects of fungicides that inhibit -

Appl. Entomol. Zool. 45 (1): 89–100 (2010) http://odokon.org/ Mini Review Psocid: A new risk for global food security and safety Muhammad Shoaib AHMEDANI,1,* Naz SHAGUFTA,2 Muhammad ASLAM1 and Sayyed Ali HUSSNAIN3 1 Department of Entomology, University of Arid Agriculture, Rawalpindi, Pakistan 2 Department of Agriculture, Ministry of Agriculture, Punjab, Pakistan 3 School of Life Sciences, University of Sussex, Falmer, Brighton, BN1 9QG UK (Received 13 January 2009; Accepted 2 September 2009) Abstract Post-harvest losses caused by stored product pests are posing serious threats to global food security and safety. Among the storage pests, psocids were ignored in the past due to unavailability of the significant evidence regarding quantitative and qualitative losses caused by them. Their economic importance has been recognized by many re- searchers around the globe since the last few years. The published reports suggest that the pest be recognized as a new risk for global food security and safety. Psocids have been found infesting stored grains in the USA, Australia, UK, Brazil, Indonesia, China, India and Pakistan. About sixteen species of psocids have been identified and listed as pests of stored grains. Psocids generally prefer infested kernels having some fungal growth, but are capable of excavating the soft endosperm of damaged or cracked uninfected grains. Economic losses due to their feeding are directly pro- portional to the intensity of infestation and their population. The pest has also been reported to cause health problems in humans. Keeping the economic importance of psocids in view, their phylogeny, distribution, bio-ecology, manage- ment and pest status have been reviewed in this paper. -

Booklice (<I>Liposcelis</I> Spp.), Grain Mites (<I>Acarus Siro</I>)
Journal of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science Vol 55, No 6 Copyright 2016 November 2016 by the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science Pages 737–743 Booklice (Liposcelis spp.), Grain Mites (Acarus siro), and Flour Beetles (Tribolium spp.): ‘Other Pests’ Occasionally Found in Laboratory Animal Facilities Elizabeth A Clemmons* and Douglas K Taylor Pests that infest stored food products are an important problem worldwide. In addition to causing loss and consumer rejection of products, these pests can elicit allergic reactions and perhaps spread disease-causing microorganisms. Booklice (Liposcelis spp.), grain mites (Acarus siro), and flour beetles Tribolium( spp.) are common stored-product pests that have pre- viously been identified in our laboratory animal facility. These pests traditionally are described as harmless to our animals, but their presence can be cause for concern in some cases. Here we discuss the biology of these species and their potential effects on human and animal health. Occupational health risks are covered, and common monitoring and control methods are summarized. Several insect and mite species are termed ‘stored-product Furthermore, the presence of these pests in storage and hous- pests,’ reflecting the fact that they routinely infest items such ing areas can lead to food wastage and negative human health as foodstuffs stored for any noteworthy period of time. Some consequences such as allergic hypersensitivity.11,52,53 In light of of the most economically important insect pests include beetles these attributes, these species should perhaps not be summarily of the order Coleoptera and moths and butterflies of the order disregarded if found in laboratory animal facilities. -
36 Wood Destroying Insects
CHAPTER 36 THE BEST CONTROL OR HOW TO PERMANENTLY AND SAFELY CONTROL ALL WOOD DESTROYING ORGANISMS http://www.pctonline.com/copesan/ (without killing yourself) The February 1999 issue of Pest Control magazine on page 18 quotes Dr. Austin Frishman as saying, “We know that termiticides alone will not solve most termite problems.” This chapter will show you how to safely solve them without using any volatile termiticide poisons. At the time a live tree is cut down, nearly half its weight consists of water! The most destructive factor to wood in structures is excessive moisture, not wood destroying insects. Correct all moisture and humidity problems and you will also control almost all wood destroying insect problems without using any poisons. Use ventilation, moisture barriers, fans, air conditioners and/or dehumidifiers first, last and always. 1347 FORWARD Far more volatile, “registered,” synthetic pesticide poison is used to control termites than any other structural pest you will ever encounter. No volatile synthetic residual insecticide or economic poison is completely safe no matter what the professional pest control industry claims. The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), when it approves one of the economic poisons, basically is only concerned with the harmful effects that occur from a single exposure of only the active ingredient by any route of entry or its acute toxicity expressed as its LD50 or LC50 value which is the lethal dose or concentration (relative amount) of only the active ingredient required to kill 50 % of a test population, e.g., male rats. LD50 values are recorded in milligrams of active ingredient per kilogram of body weight of the test animal.
