An Eco-Friendly Method to Disrupt Pheromone Perception in Ostrinia nubilalis: Helping Hand to Farmers

BACKGROUND European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis, is a very serious pest of grain corn, sweet corn, and other crops. O. nubilalis accounts for about 5.5 to 8.5 million tons of corn loss per year in Europe and other countries. Introduced to the United States in the 1900s, this pest accounts for 20% of yield loss in North America with damages estimated...

Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) Subtype 2b Grown in Bovine Monolayer Cell Cultures as Cytopathic (CP) Strains for Vaccine Production, Diagnostic Testing, and Serology

BACKGROUND BVDV is the most costly disease in the cattle industry, estimated at around 2 billion per year. Often without visible symptoms, this disease inhibits conception, causes spontaneous abortion and birth defects, and hinders the immune system. BVDVb1 is the predominant source of persistently infected (PI) cattle, and there is a growing prevalence...

Chemothermal Ablation of Reproductive Organs

BACKGROUND Sterilization is routinely performed in male farm animals to prevent aggressive behavior and unwanted pregnancies, avoid of prorogation of inferior genetic traits and enhance meat quality. Several studies have also demonstrated a strong impact of animal stress and pain associated with castration on weight gain. In farm animals, the most...
