The Fecal Shedding Of Listeria Monocytogenes By Conventional And "Germ Free" Mice, Margaret Joyce Ramsay

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A series of experiments involving Listeria monocytogenes was undertaken to study first the fecal shedding of Listeria by conventional mice challenged intraperitoneally with Listeria and second the fecal shedding and ability to survive of germ free mice with similar challenge. In addition, mites infesting Listeria infected mice were cultured for their possible contamination by Listeria.

Conventional mice were challenged intraperitoneally with a single near LD₅₀ dose of Listeria. Fecal Listeria were detected by collecting specimens from each mouse daily for the first 4 days and every second day thereafter. The feces was held at 7°C for 14 …

Behavior Patterns Of The Adult Alfalfa Weevil In Cache Valley, Utah, J. Wanless Southwick

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica (Gyllenhal), was first found in the United States in Salt Lake City, Utah, during 1904 (Titus, 1910b). It spread form this point of original introduction and partially infested Cache Valley by 1912 (Titus, 1913).

Melathion, Naled, Fenthion, And Bayer 39007 Thermal Fogs For Control Of The Stable Fly, Gary A. Mount, C. S. Lofgren, James B. Gahan

Entomology Papers from Other Sources

The stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), or dog fly, as it is commonly called in northwest Florida, has been a serious nuisance in that area for many years. Blakeslee (1945) found that DDT gave effective control when it was applied as a residual spray to larval breeding areas in marine grass deposits. However, in recent years this method has not provided the degree of control necessary. As a result, large numbers of adult flies have at times seriously affected the tourist industry of northwest Florida. On the basis of our work, and that of others, with thermal fogs for mosquito …

Thrips Damage Of Grapes, A N. Sproul

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

IN mid-December, a few bunches of Semillon grapes were submitted for examination from a Caversham Vineyard.

Damage to grape berries by thrips has not been recorded before in Western Australia.

Chromogen-Ratio Method For Determining Digestibility Of Plants By Grasshoppers, E. A. Heinrichs, K. P. Pruess

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

The concentration of plant pigments in excreta vs. food provided a measure of digestibility of most plants by grasshoppers. Digestibility values obtained with the chromogen-ratio method and consumption-excretion ratios were highly correlated (r = 0.789**). Greatly disparate results were obtained in 4 cases. The chromogen method, when applicable, gave better duplicability and eliminated many of the errors and much labor associated with consumption-excretion ratios.

Did This Cause This? [Sarcoptic Mange Of Pigs], F C. Wilkinson

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

The mite on the left was detected by using a microscope with a magnification of 100 times to examine a skin scraping taken from the above pig.

This confirmed the suspicion that sarcoptic mange mites were the cause of the skin lesions.

Early Spraying Esential For Webworm Control, J A. Button

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Results of trials conducted during the last two seasons have emphasised the need for very early treatment of webworm infested crops.

Where heavy infestations occur every effort should be made to apply treatments during the first fortnight after crop emergence

Termites Or White Ants, Clee Francis Howard Jenkins

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

TERMITES are commonly but erroneously called "white ants."

Actually they are more nearly related to cockroaches than to ants, but their general appearance and subterranean habits have given strong support to the popular designation.

They may be divided into two major groups from an economic point of view, viz., wood-dwelling and earth-dwelling termites.

Is Your Farm A Haven For Grain Pests, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Overseas markets insist that the grain they buy must be in sound condition and free of insect pests.

Keep your farm free of stored grain pests and you will help to protect our export markets and reduce the cost of treatment that you and your neighbours will bear.

Citrus Red Scale Control, G D. Rimes

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

THE RED SCALE (Aonidiella aurantii Masc.) is widely distributed throughout the world and is a serious pest in countries with semi-arid climates such as California, South Africa, Palestine and Australia.

The home of the pest is probably China, but it has been known in Australia for over 70 years and it was introduced into North America from the continent.
