  • Wood-Boring Insects of Trees and Shrubs
    B- 508 6 Wood-boring Insects of Trees and Shrubs Bastiaan M. Drees, Professor and Extension Entomologist John A. Jackman, Professor and Extension Entomologist Michael E. Merchant, Assistant Professor and Extension Urban Entomologist The Texas A&M University System Many insects feed and make their homes in the bark, trunks and branches of shade trees and shrubs in Texas. Bark beetles and insect borers belong to several different insect groups including a variety of beetles, moths and horntail wasps. Most insect borers are attracted to weakened, damaged, dying or dead plants. These are referred to as “secondary invaders” because they attack only after a plant has been weakened by another stress. Secondary invaders are a symptom of other problems with the health of the tree or shrub, but may contribute to its decline. Secondary invaders include species from groups already mentioned, but also may include termites, carpenter bees and carpenter ants. Many other insects live in dying or dead trees, including natural enemies (predators and parasites) of the insect borers, sap or fungi feeders, or species which merely use the spaces provided by the tunnels and galleries as living quarters. Wood-boring insects that attack healthy trees and shrubs are called “primary invaders.” Primary invaders may eventually kill trees. Damage Borer infestations often go unnoticed until plants or parts of plants begin to die or show external signs of damage. Wood-boring insects often produce sawdust-like frass (excrement). Their holes are normally round, oval or semicircular and are found in a random pattern on the plant. Woodpecker damage is sometimes confused with that of wood-boring beetles, however woodpecker damage will not produce frass.

  • Preferred Drug List 4-Tier
    Preferred Drug List 4-Tier 21NVHPN13628 Four-Tier Base Drug Benefit Guide Introduction As a member of a health plan that includes outpatient prescription drug coverage, you have access to a wide range of effective and affordable medications. The health plan utilizes a Preferred Drug List (PDL) (also known as a drug formulary) as a tool to guide providers to prescribe clinically sound yet cost-effective drugs. This list was established to give you access to the prescription drugs you need at a reasonable cost. Your out- of-pocket prescription cost is lower when you use preferred medications. Please refer to your Prescription Drug Benefit Rider or Evidence of Coverage for specific pharmacy benefit information. The PDL is a list of FDA-approved generic and brand name medications recommended for use by your health plan. The list is developed and maintained by a Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee comprised of actively practicing primary care and specialty physicians, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals. Patient needs, scientific data, drug effectiveness, availability of drug alternatives currently on the PDL and cost are all considerations in selecting "preferred" medications. Due to the number of drugs on the market and the continuous introduction of new drugs, the PDL is a dynamic and routinely updated document screened regularly to ensure that it remains a clinically sound tool for our providers. Reading the Drug Benefit Guide Benefits for Covered Drugs obtained at a Designated Plan Pharmacy are payable according to the applicable benefit tiers described below, subject to your obtaining any required Prior Authorization or meeting any applicable Step Therapy requirement.

Rep. PSW-14, 30 p., illus. Pacific Southwest Forest and Range Exp. Stn., Berkeley, Calif. Use of the chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide lindane to control bark beetles is controversial. Differences of opinion persist, even among knowledgeable entomologists, on whether use is justified in view of potentially harmful side effects. Effectiveness of lindane treatments, as employed in preventing tree mortality from bark beetles, is also in question. In seven papers, relevant information from many sources is reviewed by investigators who hold divergent views. The papers present data on the biological characteristics of lindane, its persistence in the environment and effects on both target and nontarget organisms.

  • IARC Monographs Evaluate DDT, Lindane, and 2,4-D
    PRESS RELEASE N° 236 23 June 2015 IARC Monographs evaluate DDT, lindane, and 2,4-D Lyon, France, 23 June 2015 - The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the specialized cancer agency of the World Health Organization, has evaluated the carcinogenicity of the insecticides gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (lindane) and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). After thoroughly reviewing the latest available scientific literature, a Working Group of 26 experts from 13 countries convened by the IARC Monographs Programme classified the insecticide lindane as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). There was sufficient evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of lindane for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The insecticide DDT was classified as probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A), based on sufficient evidence that DDT causes cancer in experimental animals and limited evidence of its carcinogenicity in humans. Epidemiological studies found positive associations between exposure to DDT and NHL, testicular cancer, and liver cancer. There was also strong experimental evidence that DDT can suppress the immune system and disrupt sex hormones. However, overall there was no association between breast cancer and DDT levels measured in samples of blood or fat. The herbicide 2,4-D was classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), based on inadequate evidence in humans and limited evidence in experimental animals. There is strong evidence that 2,4-D induces oxidative stress, a mechanism that can operate in humans, and moderate evidence that 2,4-D causes immunosuppression, based on in vivo and in vitro studies. However, epidemiological studies did not find strong or consistent increases in risk of NHL or other cancers in relation to 2,4-D exposure.

  • A Study of the Stability of Coumaphos,{Sup 14} C-Labelled
    XA9846536 A STUDY OF THE STABILITY OF COUMAPHOS, "C-LABELLED LINDANE AND 14C-LABELLED CHLORPYRIFOS IN MODEL CATTLE DIP M A. MALEK, M.M. RAHMAN, M.R. AMN, M.S. RAHMAN, J. KHATOON. Institute of Food and Radiation Biology, Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Abstract The study was undertaken to evaluate the stability of coumaphos, MC-labelled lindane and chlorpyrifos insecticides/acaricides in a simulated cattle dipping vat. During the period of the study the pH of the suspension in vat increased due to addition of soil from the vacinity of cattle bam as well as due to standing in cement- concrete of the vat. The residual amounts of lindane and chlorpyrifos were estimated by counting the corresponding radioactivity in the suspension. Lindane dissipated rapidly and its half-life during the first phase was 4 d only. After standing for 3 weeks lindane residues were equivalent to 3.5% of the original amount in the suspension and 9.6% in the supematent. Similarly, 97% of the original amount of lindane had dissipated in the soil sediment at the end of 3 weeks, indicating that dissipation of lindane was primarily due to volatilization. Chlorpyrifos was more stable under the experimental conditions and its half life was calculated to be 22 d during the first phase of dissipation. After 3 weeks the concentration of chlorpyriphos in the suspension remained almost unchanged. However, in the supernatant its concentration increased to 115% of the initial amount. The concentration of soil-bound residues of chlopyrofos remained less than 5% of the total amount applied through out the period of study.

  • Determination of Fipronil by Solid-Phase Microextraction And
    Journal of Chromatography A, 919 (2001) 215±221 www.elsevier.com/locate/chroma Short communication Determination of ®pronil by solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography±mass spectrometry JoseÂÂ Luis Võlchez, Avismelsi Prieto12 , Lilia Araujo , Alberto Navalon Â* Department of Analytical Chemistry, University of Granada, Avda. Fuentenueva s/n, E-18071 Granada, Spain Received 25 October 2000; received in revised form 26 March 2001; accepted 26 March 2001 Abstract A method for the determination of trace amounts of the insecticide ®pronil was developed using solid-phase microextraction±gas chromatography±mass spectrometry and selected ion monitoring. Fipronil was extracted with a fused-silica ®ber coated with 85 mm polyacrylate. The effects of pH, ionic strength, sample volume, extraction and desorption times as well as the extraction temperature were studied. Lindane was used as an internal standard. The linear concentration range of application was 0.3±100 ng ml21 of ®pronil, with a relative standard deviation of 9.5% (for a level of 50 ng ml21 ) and a detection limit of 0.08 ng ml21 . The method was applied to check the eventual existence of ®pronil above this limit in water and soil samples from Granada (Spain) as well as in human urine samples. The method validation was completed with spiked matrix samples. The method can be applied as a monitoring tool for water, soil and urine, in the investigation of environmental and occupational exposure to ®pronil. 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
