TL;DR: Aqueous extracts of nine medicinal plants were bioassayed against larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus Say and Aedes aegypt (L.) and the long pepper, Piper retrofractum Vahl (Piperaceae), showed the highest level of activity against mosquito larvae.

TL;DR: Evaluated whether open field release of sterile males, produced from combining the sterile insect technique using radiation with the insect incompatible technique through Wolbachia-induced incompatibility (SIT/IIT), could suppress natural populations of Ae.

TL;DR: The identification and availability of inexpensive sources of plant-based oils providing long-lasting repellency against blood-sucking organisms are promising leads into commercial production of relatively safe and effective repellents.

TL;DR: The most significant findings of this study were the aggregation behaviors of S. funicola, that both sexes attack hosts, and that males outnumbered females attacking humans, dogs, and other domestic animals.

TL;DR: A diverse group of bacteria (64 species), both gram-posi-tive and gram-negative, most in risk category 2, were identified and these bacteria may cause disease conditions in humans and animals.
