“…Going forward it would be worthwhile to explore the possibility of moving the beehives outdoors to the fields so that they are not affected by the IRS. Locally available plants such as Citronella and Eucalyptus have shown repellent characteristics against both mosquitoes and bed bugs with a mortality rate of over 70% over a 24 hours exposure [48]. Such locally available plant derivatives could complement the IRS in addressing concerns around bed bugs.…”

Background Nepal has made significant progress in decreasing the number of malaria cases over the last two decades. Prevention and timely management of malaria are critical for the National Malaria Program in its quest for elimination. The study aimed to explore the knowledge, attitudes and behaviour towards malaria prevention and treatment among people living in rural villages of Khatyad Rural Municipality in Nepal. Methods This qualitative study collected information through virtual in-depth interviews (N = 25) with female and male participants aged between 15 and 72 years. Results More than half of the participants knew about the causes of malaria, were aware of the complications of untreated malaria and knew that anti-malarial medicines were provided for free at the public health facilities. Participants indicated that their first choice of health care were public health facilities, however limited supply of medications and diagnostics deviated patients to the private sector. While tertiary care costs were not financially viable, participants opted against traditional care for malaria. Factors such as cost of treatment, distance to the health facility and the decision making authority in households influenced health related decisions in the family. Although long-lasting insecticidal nets were distributed and indoor residual spraying was done periodically, several barriers were identified. Conclusion Increased awareness of malaria prevention and treatment among people living in malaria risk areas is important for the National Malaria Program in its quest for malaria elimination in Nepal.

“…Crosses Hycole rabbit with NZW and their reciprocal has been done with the crossed Hycole sire and NZW dam (P A N) (Brahmantiyo et al, 2017). The rabbit has potential to be developed as the genetic resources of dam adaptive to tropical climate due to its good heterosity (hybrid vigor) in litter size and growth rate (Khan et al, 2017a(Khan et al, , 2017bTariq et al, 2015).…”

Importations were done to overcome raising demand on broiler rabbit. Hycole, Hyla and New Zealand White rabbits have a superiority on high growth rate and prolification rate. The body weight of Hyla's rabbit in the age of 70 d can reach 2 160 g (de la Abstract | Hycole and Hyla rabbits were imported in 2012 and 2013. Hycole and Hyla rabbits were known as best broiler rabbit and had potentiality as genetic resources to develop Indonesian broiler rabbit. The aim of this study was to characterize phenotype of Hycole and Hyla rabbits to evaluate their adaptability in tropical environments.

“…Individual essential oils from the blend have been adequate to control larvae and adults of the housefly, namely, lavender, Lavandula angustifolia (Khater & Geden, 2019), mint, Mentha spp. (Kumar et al, 2012), citronella, Cymbopogon nardus (Khan et al, 2017), and clove, Eugenia caryophyllata (Soonwera, 2015). Additionally, some blends of essential oils have been effectively used against larvae and adults in topical or fumigant assays (Said-Al Ahl et al, 2017).…”

“…In the context of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), we are currently studying the control of M. domestica by developing semiochemicals-derived attractants to be used in traps to capture adults, as well as essential oil-based biopesticides or repellents for use in a "push-pull" system. In this study, we evaluated the insecticidal effect of a blend of essential oils reported as individually toxic to the house fly (Khan et al, 2017). Thus, we blended the commercial essential oils from citronella [Cymbopogon nardus Linnaeus, (Poales: Poaceae)], clove [Eugenia caryophyllata Thunb, (Myrtales: Myrtaceae)], lavender (L. angustifolia), mint (M. arvensis) and rosemary [Rosmarinus officinalis Linnaeus, (Lamiales: Lamiaceae)].…”

Resumen Musca domestica Linnaeus, (Diptera: Muscidae) llamada mosca común o doméstica, es una plaga de importancia para la salud pública porque es vector de muchas enfermedades en humanos y animales. La aplicación de insecticidas sintéticos es la principal estrategia para controlar a estas moscas, pero el uso excesivo e indebido de estas sustancias pueden tener efectos adversos para el hombre y el medio ambiente. Además, esta mosca ha desarrollado resistencia a diversos insecticidas. Las mezclas de aceites esenciales son alternativas naturales para complementar el uso de insecticidas sintéticos para el control de esta plaga. En este estudio, comparamos los efectos insecticidas de una mezcla de cinco aceites esenciales comerciales y del piretroide lambda-cialotrina contra larvas y adultos de la mosca común. Además, describimos la influencia que tienen ambos tratamientos en el desarrollo de esta especie cuando fue tratado en el estado larval. Finalmente, analizamos la composición química de la mezcla mediante cromatografía de gases acoplada a espectrometría de masas (CG-EM), para correlacionar la actividad biológica con los compuestos presentes en la mezcla. La mezcla de aceites esenciales mostró un mayor efecto larvicida en comparación con la lambda-cialotrina (5% de ingrediente activo) y mostró un efecto letal similar en los adultos. Ambos tratamientos provocaron efectos nocivos similares en el ciclo de vida de M. domestica. El análisis químico de la mezcla mostró la presencia de terpenos, terpenoides y un hidrocarburo. Encontramos diferencias en la composición química de los volátiles de la mezcla según el método de muestreo. Discutimos nuestros hallazgos en términos del manejo integrado de vectores.
