The paradoxical survival of African Swine Fever by free-living wild boar
Authors: N.W.G. Barmentlo, J. Ellers, T.J. Smyser, V. Brown, M. Bosse Abstract: Due to the influences of climate change and globalization, epizootic diseases are becoming more prevalent. Climate change for instance influences host abundances while globalisation allows for increased host-hopping of pathogens. African Swine Fever (ASF) is one such epizootic disease that started to affect different […]
Food Safety Standards positive contribution to Pest Management activities.
Dr Guglielmo Pampiglione, Dr Chiara Piombo, Dr Marco Caimi – InPest Lab, Italy. Abstract: Food Safety Standards like ISO 22000: 2018, BRC, IFS, are providing a general improvement of the quality of Pest Management services introducing a new concept of collaboration between Pest Management operators and client companies in recent years. This process of improvement […]

Resistance of Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) to anticoagulant rodenticides in Hungary
Dr. D. Bajomi, B. Tánczos. Abstract: First generation rodenticides have been in use in Hungary since the mid 60-ies. Coumatetralyl based formulations were the first to appear, while rodenticides containing warfarin active substance have become less widespread. The application of bromadiolone and other second generation anticoagulant actives started afterwards. Anticoagulant resistant strains of Rattus norvegicus […]

Parasitic wasps versus Anobiidae
Dr. Judith Auer & Alexander Kassel, APC AG, Allround Pest Control AG, Ostendstr. 132, D-90482 Nuremberg, Germany Abstract: The common furniture beetle (Anobium punctatum) is a permanent threat in churches and museums and is wreaking devastating damage by corrosion of wooden inventory and antiques. The conventional control methods are complex, polluting and high-priced. The aim […]
Implementation of Structure-based pharmacophore modelling for in silico prediction of insecticidal activity
Edwin P. Alcantara – National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology Biotech University of the Philippines (Los Banos) College, Laguna 4031 Philippines Introduction: A pharmacophore is the set of chemical and steric interactions between a ligand and macromolecule that are relevant to trigger biological response. In this study, the enzyme β-N-acetyl-D-hexosaminidase (PDB I.D. 3NSN) was […]
Developing a Chlorfluazuron Based Insecticides Bait for Multiple Termite Species
Dr Partho Dhang Abstract: The pressure for better environmental stewardship is forcing the chemical industry to look for safer formulations and much safer application techniques. Insecticidal baits are unique formulations which have combined information from insect sensory physiology, gustatory chemistry, semiochemicals and many more. Baits are target specific and allow easy application, thus being recognized […]
