Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNatural Repellent Anthraquinone Applied on Cereal Grain Seeds and Seedlings Against Pigeons (Columba livia) in CaptivityKan Khoomsab, Itsara TangsuwanThis research aims to test the effects of cassia leaf extract on the eating behavior of pigeons for application as a natural repellent. Senna siamea (Cassia) leaves were oven-dried and blended into fine pieces and processed by the simplest extraction method (maceration) with ethyl alcohol 70% solution and were then extracted with hot continuous extraction (Soxhlet extraction) with ethyl alcohol … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 16 Dec 2019 · 7,456 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUsing Circular Open Field Thigmotaxis to Test Fermented Plant Extracts as Rat RepellentsKan Khoomsab, Thanthiya Janseeda, Panthip SaicomtonWe investigated the efficacy of five fermented plant extracts (kaffir lime, noni, garlic, chili and mint) as rat repellents, using circular open field thigmotaxis. Plants were fermented for 1, 3 and 5 days. Rats (Rattus rattus) were exposed to fermented plant extracts placed in the core zone (central area) of a circular open field. Rat behaviors in the field were … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 25 Apr 2019 · 7,889 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDermal Toxicity of a Repellent Formulation Containing Piper Aduncum Linnaeus (Piperales: Piperaceae) Essential OilSiti Nur Hanis Mamood, Hidayatulfathi Othman, Nurathirah Mat Nasir et al.It has been shown in previous research that Piper aduncum Linnaeus essential oil has the potential to be developed as an alternative mosquito repellent. When the essential oil was formulated into cream, it was able to provide >2h of protection against Aedes aegypti in the laboratory; thus, it can be commercialized as an alternative to synthetic repellent especially N, N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 12 Oct 2017 · 8,170 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Mosquito Repellent on the Transmission Model of Chikungunya FeverSurapol Naowarat, Prasit Thongjaem, I. Ming TangProblem statement: In 2008 there was a large outbreak of Chikungunya fever in southern Thailand. Chikungunya fever is an emerging disease which tends to affect rubber plantation and fruit orchard workers more than other occupation. This study we considers the efficacy of using mosquito repellent as a way to prevent and control the spread of Chikungunya fever. The mathematical model … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 14 Feb 2012 · 7,514 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAbiotic Stress Elicitation on Secondary Metabolites of Red Betel (Piper crocatum Ruiz and Pav.) Leaves as Potential Repellent for Rice Bug (Leptocorisa oratorius (F.)Intani Quarta Lailaty, Diah Rachmawati, Laurentius Hartanto NugrohoRice bug, Leptocorisa oratorius (F.), is the main pest of rice plants which can reduce rice productivity significantly. Natural insecticide from plant extract compounds, such as Red Betel (Piper crocatum Ruiz and Pav.), is an alternative to reduce the attack of these pests and environmental friendly. This research aimed to study the effect of abiotic stress on plant growth and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 23 Jan 2021 · 7,495 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFormation of Post-Fire Water Repellent Layers on Nothofagus glauca (Hualo) Forests, After the Historical “Las Máquinas” Wildfire in South-Central ChilePablo A. Garcia-Chevesich, Eduardo Martínez, Alejandro García et al.The Chilean summer of 2017 was the worst wildfire season by far. Hundreds of wildfires burned a total of more than half a million hectares of forested land (native forests and forest plantations). A significant portion of the burned area was occupied by Hualo (Nothofagus glauca (Phil.) Krasser), a native forest species widely distributed in central Chile. Using the water-drop-penetration-time … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2019 · 9,388 accessesView PDFCite

Andoke et al.Prior to field trials of large scale tsetse repellent technology validation in July 2011, a cross-sectional survey of bovine trypanosomosis and its vectors was carried out to know the disease level in Kwale County of Coastal Kenya. A total of 584 adult cattle were examined at ten different Locations. The trypanosome prevalence in cattle with regard to age, sex, location … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2013 · 7,677 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioactivity of the Alkaloids, Norharman and L-N-Methylcrotonosine/LinearisineMargelette Ellis-Tabanor, Dwight Robinson, Eric HyslopThe toxic effects of the alkaloids, Norharman and a mixture of L-N-Methylcrotonosine/Linearisine (M/L mixture), on two organisms, Gambusia puncticulata and Veronicella sloanei were determined. The effect of the alkaloids on the fecundity of Thiara granifera was also investigated. Norharman was harmless to G. puncticulata but the M/L mixture inflicted 55.5% mortality on fish populations. The alkaloids had narcotizing, repellent and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 11 Apr 2015 · 7,202 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForensically Flies Detect the Nutritional Value of Corpses Through Neuro-Chemoreceptive Cells-(5th Cell)Hedayat Abdel Ghaffar, Tarek Tantawi, Ibrahim Gaboub et al.Animals have evolved several chemosensory systems for detecting potentially dangerous foods in the environment. Activation of specific sensory cells within these chemosensory systems usually elicits an aversive behavioral response, leading to avoidance of the noxious foods. Blowflies respond to sugars, salts and water through the activation of specific chemoreceptor neurons in the antennal, labellar and tarsal chemosensillae. These insects also … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 5 Sep 2012 · 7,243 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOlfactory Responses of the Asiatic Citrus Psyllid (Diaphorina citri) to Mineral Oil-Treated Mandarin LeavesMofit Eko Poerwanto, Y. Andi Trisyono, G. Andrew C. Beattie et al.Problem statement: Evidence of rejection or acceptance by phytophagous pests of citrus plants treated with mineral oils suggests that impacts of oils may be related to detection by olfactory and/or contact chemoreceptors of repellent oils or plant volatiles. Alternatively, the oils may mask or suppress attractant host plant volatiles. To date, no studies have reported that oils elicit an olfactory … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2012 · 8,782 accessesView PDFCite
