THE INTERACTION BETWEEN PERMETHRIN EXPOSURE AND MALARIA INFECTION AFFECTS THE HOST-SEEKING BEHAVIOUR OF MOSQUITOES

The interaction between permethrin exposure and malaria infection affects the host-seeking behaviour of mosquitoes

Abstract Background Insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) help to control malaria by mechanically impeding the biting of mosquitoes, by repelling and irritating them and by killing Toy Furniture them.In contrast to spatial repellency, irritancy implies that mosquitoes contact the ITN and are exposed to at least a sub-lethal dose of insecticide, which

Early Induction of the Arabidopsis GSTF8 Promoter by Specific Strains of the Fungal Pathogen Rhizoctonia solani

The Arabidopsis glutathione S-transferase GSTF8 promoter directs root-specific responses to stress.In this study, the response of this promoter to plant infection with Rhizoctonia solani was investigated using a luciferase reporter system.Arabidopsis seedlings harboring the GSTF8:luciferase construct were monitored in vivo for bioluminescence follo
