...e birds were captured by netting system. After blood was collected from wing veins, birds were released from the cages. Blood samples were examined after staining with Giemsa stain. The positive samples were used for amplification of cyt b gene of Plasmodium relictum. Cloning and sequencing of the amplified products of each samples was performed separately. Out of 120 birds examined, 25 were found positive for P. relictum based on morpholo...

... armigera). Insect-proof netting was used to contain the vegetable plants in a small field. B. thuringiensis with active CRY1F was cultivated in Luria-Bertani (LB) media under controlled laboratory conditions. The goal was to maximize colony growth for the preparation of spore/crystal mixtures at various concentrations. The larvae of S. litura and H. armigera were reared in a laboratory under control. Following tests, the LC50 (96-hours) of the CRY...
