Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Substrate-Borne Vibrational Signals of Euschistus servus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)Brittany Lampson, Young Han, Ahmad Khalilian et al.Problem Statement: Stink bugs were not major pests of cotton in the southeastern United States until cotton varieties containing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) transgenes came into common use, enabling reductions in insecticide applications against highly destructive lepidopteran pests. To maintain the benefits of reduced insecticide applications, it would be advantageous to detect and target isolated populations of stink bugs before they … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,272 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHelicobacter pylori Colonization in Biopsies of the Adenotonsillectomy SpecimensM. J. Zahedi, S. Darvish Moghadam, M. Ahmadi Mosavi et al.Problem statement: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a microaerophilic, gram negative bacillus, which can cause peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. Recurrent infection with this agent is considered as one of the reasons for failure of peptic ulcer treatment. Some studies have reported colonization of H. pylori in dental plaques, tonsils and adenoid tissues. Therefore oral cavity could be the source … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,929 accessesView PDFCite
