Introduction: Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease. Following endothelial damage and platelet aggregation in that area and the recruitment of monocytes and their conversion to macrophages, LDL gradually accumulates under the endothelial artery wall and gradually...

Pests and diseases can cause a variety of reactions in plants. In recent years, the boxwood dieback has become one of the essential concerns of practitioners and natural resources managers in Iran. To control the boxwood dieback spread, the early detection and disease distribution maps are...

Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) is one of the most important forest tree species in Hungary, covering approximately 24% of the forest land and providing 25% of the annual timber supply. One third of these black locust stands are high forests (planted with seedlings) and the remaining stands...

Termites are plants, housing, furniture, and building pests. Termite control has been carried out using synthetic pesticides that are harmful to the environment and human health. Innovation in controlling termites and fungi is required for the preservation of wood and furniture. The aim of this...

In the current context of globalization, biological invasion of alien species has an important impact on environment, economics or human health. Particularly, the spread of these species in urban green areas, is problematic due to several reasons. The aim of this research was to report the presence ...

Mosquito control strategies have been primarily dependent on the use of synthetic chemical insecticides but its long-term stability and its tendency to bioaccumulate have fostered many environmental and human health concerns resulting in increase of resistance to chemical insecticides and...

Aim of study: This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant capacity and enzyme inhibitory effect of different solvent extracts obtained from Prunus avium leaves. Material and methods: The antioxidant capacity were evaluated using in vitro assays including DPPH, ABTS, CUPRAC, FRAP,...

There is an increase preference for plant-based repellents due to their effectiveness, friendliness to the environment and biodegradable nature. It is therefore necessary to ascertain the safety of these repellents by analysing their heavy metal content. This study indicates that the heavy metals,...

Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera Drosophilidae), commonly named spotted wing drosophila, is a highly polyphagous invasive pest from Asia, causing large economic losses in soft and stone fruit production. To prevent D. suzukii from ovipositing into host fruits four essential oils (neem oil,...

The present study focused on determination of antioxidant activities by DPPH free radical scavenging and nitric oxide (NO) scavenging assay in methanol extract. The significantly highest content of phenolic compound was obtained in leaf extract and flavonoids in methanolic root extract. Methanolic...
