Pentastomid Infections in Fish by Roy Yanong

“…The life cycle includes the deposition of eggs by adult pentastomes in the reptile's respiratory system, which are then excreted and ingested by fish hosts, where larvae develop into nymphs. Infected fish may exhibit significant tissue damage, depending on the fish species and parasite load. …”

Development and demographic parameters of Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith) when feeding on rice (Oryza sativa) by Md Panna Ali, Sheikh Shamiul Haque, Md Mosaddeke Hossain, Md Nazmul Bari, Mir Md Moniruzzaman Kabir, Tapon Kumar Roy, Juel Datta, Mohammad Tofazzal Hossain Howlader, Syed Nurul Alam, Timothy J. Krupnik

“…The developmental period from egg to adult among rice varieties did not differ significantly; however, it did differ significantly between rice and maize, as feeding on rice rather than maize extends development duration of FAW larvae by 15.15%. FAW larvae collected and reared on maize were found to be of significantly higher weight than those reared on rice at two sequential dates of their development; pupal weight however was observed as statistically similar between these two host crops. …”

Pathogenicity of Entomopathogenic Fungi from Peanut Rhizosphere ( Arachis hypogaea Linnaeus) to Pod Borer Etiella zinckenella Treitschke (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) by Reflinaldon Reflinaldon, Martinius Martinius

“…A total of 16 isolates obtained at the initial stage were selected by testing them against the fifth instar larvae Tenebrio molitor. Results showed that only 4 isolates (STA 1, STA 2.2, STA 5, and STB 3.1) could be further tested against E. zinckenella pod borer using completely randomized design (CRD). …”

Study on the Properties and Pest Control Effects of Five Common Wheat Flour Packaging Materials by HE Rui, ZHANG Feng, ZHANG Yuan-quan, CHEN Jin-shen, LV Jian-hua

“…Pest resistance was evaluated using adult Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), adult Lasioderma serricorne (Fabricius), and newly hatched larvae of L. serricorne. The results showed that, in terms of mechanical properties, woven bags and aluminum foil bags exhibited superior tensile, tear, and puncture resistance. …”

Exploring the batracho-and herpetofauna richness of Mojstirsko-Draške Mountains by Ćirković Glorija Ž., Ajtić Rastko D.

“…The presence of species was determined through direct observation of adult or larval forms, identification of distinctive markings, and the detection of clusters of deposited eggs or larvae. The majority of documented amphibian and reptile species are subject to severe protection under national laws, mostly due to various anthropogenic influences that contribute to their declining populations. …”
