Effect of Ultraviolet radiation on Original Activity Remaining of Spodoptera littoralis NPV against S. littoralis Boisd (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Design and application of metal organic frameworks for heavy metals adsorption in water: a review

“…In this instance, Abd El Salam's et al 299 reported the elimination of mercury via Mn-MOF which exhibited adsorption efficiency of 65.19%. In other work Xiong et al 300 explored unmodified MOF-74-Zn material to remove mercury ions from aqueous solution.…”

Nuclear polyhedrosis virus DNA identification and first evaluation against Strawberry pest, Pentodon algerinum (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

“…Bioassay was made by two experiments, one used five concentrations of SpliNPV, 6.7X10 6 , 3.11X10 7 , 1.1X 10 8 , 3.64X10 9 and 3.64X10 10 9 and 8.2x10 9 PIB/ml for Bioassay tests. Ten larvae of Pentodon algerinum for each virus concentration were put individually in 10 plastic cups (350 ml) containing NPV contaminated food.…”

“…So that there is strong need for finding an effective safe alternative control method against these grubs such as baculoviridae Nucleopolyhedrosis viruses (NPVs). NPV belongs to family baculoviridae which is specific against a variety of insect pests of forests and economically important crops [10,32,33]. 72.7% Units PNPV) was amplified using four RAPD primers, Operon A9, A20 , B17 & B7 (Operon Technologies, Inc., Alameda, CA, USA) and generated total 33 bands as 24 bands for PNPV having molecular weights between 152 -1204 bp and 9 bands for SpliNPV having molecular weights between 138 -1767 bp, as shown in figures (5)(6)(7)(8) and tables (5a-5b) .…”

“…Infection by viruses depends on specialized host cells providing the complex metabolic and biosynthetic machinery of eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells. [9,10]. The entomopathogenic Baculovirus cannot be transmitted to human because this virus requires an alkaline based cell structure to replicate itself while Human is acidic based.…”

“…Entomopathogenic baculoviruses are considered as safe alternative method for insect pest control such as the Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus (NPV) being a double stranded DNA baculovirus and highly specific to their host insects. [9,10]. Today Nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) (Baculoviridae) is an ideal tool in the pest management programs, as it is highly specific to its host insects, safe to the environment, humans, other plants and beneficial natural enemies [11,12,13].…”
