ULTRASTRUCTURAL CHANGES IN FINAL INSTAR LARVAE OF PAPILIO POLYTES (LEPIDOPTERA: PAPILIONIDAE) LEAD TO DIFFERENCES IN EPIDERMAL SPREADING OF WATER AND ADJUVANTS

Papilio polytes is a cosmopolitan Lepidoptera species of controversial use and management.It remained unclear how its epidermal ultrastructure changes during development and how this affects its wetting properties in relation to water and pesticide adjuvants.In this study, the epidermis of P.polytes was systematically examined at the important feed

The malaria vaccine Bed Frame candidate merozoite surface protein 2 (MSP2) has shown promise in clinical trials and is in part responsible for a reduction in parasite densities.However, strain-specific reductions in parasitaemia suggested that polymorphic regions of MSP2 are immuno-dominant.One strategy to bypass the hurdle of strain-specificity is

Mycotoxins are among the primary factors compromising food Display Devices quality and safety.To investigate mycotoxin contamination, microbial diversity, and functional profiles in maize across distinct geographic regions, this study analyzed samples from Xuanwei, Fuyuan, and Zhanyi.Mycotoxin concentrations were quantified through standardized ass
