Aspects of the biology and ecology of the black-winged termite, Odontotermes formosanus Shiraki, were examined in a grove of camphor trees, Cinnamomum camphora (L.), located at the Fruit and Tea Institute, Wuhan, China. Of the 90 trees examined, 91.1% had evidence of termite activity in the form of exposed mud tubes on the bark. There was no relationship between tree diameter and mud tube length. Mud tubes faced all cardinal directions; most (60%) trees had multiple tubes at all directions. However, if a tree only had one tube, 22.2% of those tubes faced the south.

  • Control Cockroaches in the Home Control Cockroaches in the Home
    PB1024 CONTROL COCKROACHES IN THE HOME CONTROL COCKROACHES IN THE HOME by Harry E. Williams, Professor Entomology and Plant Pathology Cockroaches are the number one pest in homes or other buildings They have successfully adapted to living wherever people live and are common on ships, in warehouses, restaurants, stores, apartments, offices, hotels and one-family dwellings. In fact, cockroaches are often the first occupant in a new building. Cockroaches are frequently carried into buildings in bags or boxes. They can live outside in water meters, garbage dumps or sewage systems and then migrate into buildings. Cockroaches hide in sheltered, dark places during the day. Because they avoid light, they may not be detected in a home for months. Most homes have many cracks or crevices where they hide. At night, cockroaches leave their hiding places to seek out food and water. If a light is turned on, they will run rapidly for shelter, disappearing through openings into their hiding places. Cockroaches can carry bacteria, fungi and filth on their legs and bodies. Their habit of hiding in empty spaces and moving under cover of darkness carrying bacteria is a health menace. They may pollute food or cooking utensils with this filth. Description Cockroaches have a broad, flattened shape and six long legs. They are dark drown, reddish- brown, light brown or black. The adults of most species have wings. The male Oriental cockroach has wings which cover only part of the back. The female's wings are reduced to small pads. The young cockroach is called a nymph. It looks like the adult, except it is smaller and has no wings.

  • Plasma Pharmacokinetic Profile of Fluralaner (Bravecto™) and Ivermectin Following Concurrent Administration to Dogs Feli M
    Walther et al. Parasites & Vectors (2015) 8:508 DOI 10.1186/s13071-015-1123-8 SHORT REPORT Open Access Plasma pharmacokinetic profile of fluralaner (Bravecto™) and ivermectin following concurrent administration to dogs Feli M. Walther1*, Mark J. Allan2 and Rainer KA Roepke2 Abstract Background: Fluralaner is a novel systemic ectoparasiticide for dogs providing immediate and persistent flea, tick and mite control after a single oral dose. Ivermectin has been used in dogs for heartworm prevention and at off label doses for mite and worm infestations. Ivermectin pharmacokinetics can be influenced by substances affecting the p-glycoprotein transporter, potentially increasing the risk of ivermectin neurotoxicity. This study investigated ivermectin blood plasma pharmacokinetics following concurrent administration with fluralaner. Findings: Ten Beagle dogs each received a single oral administration of either 56 mg fluralaner (Bravecto™), 0.3 mg ivermectin or 56 mg fluralaner plus 0.3 mg ivermectin/kg body weight. Blood plasma samples were collected at multiple post-treatment time points over a 12-week period for fluralaner and ivermectin plasma concentration analysis. Ivermectin blood plasma concentration profile and pharmacokinetic parameters Cmax,tmax,AUC∞ and t½ were similar in dogs administered ivermectin only and in dogs administered ivermectin concurrently with fluralaner, and the same was true for fluralaner pharmacokinetic parameters. Conclusions: Concurrent administration of fluralaner and ivermectin does not alter the pharmacokinetics

  • 1 February 2021
    February 2021 Harriet Tubman was born around 1820 on a plantation in Dorchester County, Maryland. She had eight brothers and sisters; due to the realities of slavery they were eventually forced apart. At the age of 12 her desire for justice became apparent. She stepped between an enslaved person and the overseer who threw a weight that struck Harriet in the head. This good deed left her with headaches and narcolepsy for the rest of her life. In 1840 her father was set free by his previous owner. The new owner refused to recognize this and kept Harriet, her mother, and the rest of her siblings in bondage. In 1844, Harriet married John Tubman who was a free black man and changed her last name. This marriage was not good and with the knowledge of two of her brothers about to be sold provoked Harriet to plan an escape. September 17, 1849, Harriet and her two brothers escaped from the Maryland plantation. Although her brothers changed their minds and went back. With the help of the Underground Railroad Harriet persevered and traveled 90 miles north to Pennsylvania and freedom. Harriet was not satisfied living free on her own and she wanted freedom for her loved ones and friends, too. She returned to the south to lead her niece and her niece’s children to Philadelphia via the Underground Railroad. The 1850 Fugitive Slave Act allowed fugitive and freed workers in the north to be captured and enslaved, which in turn made Harriet’s job with the Underground Railroad much harder.

  • Taxonomy, Biogeography, and Notes on Termites (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae, Rhinotermitidae, Termitidae) of the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands
    SYSTEMATICS Taxonomy, Biogeography, and Notes on Termites (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae, Rhinotermitidae, Termitidae) of the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands RUDOLF H. SCHEFFRAHN,1 JAN KRˇ ECˇ EK,1 JAMES A. CHASE,2 BOUDANATH MAHARAJH,1 3 AND JOHN R. MANGOLD Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 99(3): 463Ð486 (2006) ABSTRACT Termite surveys of 33 islands of the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos (BATC) archipelago yielded 3,533 colony samples from 593 sites. Twenty-seven species from three families and 12 genera were recorded as follows: Cryptotermes brevis (Walker), Cr. cavifrons Banks, Cr. cymatofrons Schef- Downloaded from frahn and Krˇecˇek, Cr. bracketti n. sp., Incisitermes bequaerti (Snyder), I. incisus (Silvestri), I. milleri (Emerson), I. rhyzophorae Herna´ndez, I. schwarzi (Banks), I. snyderi (Light), Neotermes castaneus (Burmeister), Ne. jouteli (Banks), Ne. luykxi Nickle and Collins, Ne. mona Banks, Procryptotermes corniceps (Snyder), and Pr. hesperus Scheffrahn and Krˇecˇek (Kalotermitidae); Coptotermes gestroi Wasmann, Heterotermes cardini (Snyder), H. sp., Prorhinotermes simplex Hagen, and Reticulitermes flavipes Koller (Rhinotermitidae); and Anoplotermes bahamensis n. sp., A. inopinatus n. sp., Nasuti- termes corniger (Motschulsky), Na. rippertii Rambur, Parvitermes brooksi (Snyder), and Termes http://aesa.oxfordjournals.org/ hispaniolae Banks (Termitidae). Of these species, three species are known only from the Bahamas, whereas 22 have larger regional indigenous ranges that include Cuba, Florida, or Hispaniola and beyond. Recent exotic immigrations for two of the regional indigenous species cannot be excluded. Three species are nonindigenous pests of known recent immigration. IdentiÞcation keys based on the soldier (or soldierless worker) and the winged imago are provided along with species distributions by island. Cr. bracketti, known only from San Salvador Island, Bahamas, is described from the soldier and imago.

  • Under Serratia Marcescens Treatment Kai Feng1,2, Xiaoyu Lu1,2, Jian Luo1,2 & Fang Tang1,2*
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN SMRT sequencing of the full‑length transcriptome of Odontotermes formosanus (Shiraki) under Serratia marcescens treatment Kai Feng1,2, Xiaoyu Lu1,2, Jian Luo1,2 & Fang Tang1,2* Odontotermes formosanus (Shiraki) is an important pest in the world. Serratia marcescens have a high lethal efect on O. formosanus, but the specifc insecticidal mechanisms of S. marcescens on O. formosanus are unclear, and the immune responses of O. formosanus to S. marcescens have not been clarifed. At present, genetic database resources of O. formosanus are extremely scarce. Therefore, using O. formosanus workers infected by S. marcescens and the control as experimental materials, a full-length transcriptome was sequenced using the PacBio Sequel sequencing platform. A total of 10,364 isoforms were obtained as the fnal transcriptome. The unigenes were further annotated with the Nr, Swiss-Prot, EuKaryotic Orthologous Groups (KOG), Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) Ortholog public databases. In a comparison between the control group and a Serratia marcescens-infected group, a total of 259 diferentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identifed, including 132 upregulated and 127 downregulated genes. Pathway enrichment analysis indicated that the expression of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, oxidative stress genes and the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway in O. formosanus may be associated with S. marcescens treatment. This research intensively studied O. formosanus at the high-throughput full-length transcriptome level, laying a foundation for further development of molecular markers and mining of target genes in this species and thereby promoting the biological control of O.
