    Author : Raimondas Mozuraitis; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Laboratory studies of pheromone release behaviour haverevealed that virgin females of all of the nine species of thegenus Phyllonorycter investigated demonstrated the samepheromone release posture. Their calling activity wasregistered at the beginning of the photophase. This is anunusual time for calling in moths. READ MORE

    Abstract : Haematophagous parasites and disease vectors such as leeches, ticks, mites, lice, bed bugs, mosquitoes, and myiasis-causing fly larvae are common health problems in Lao Peoples Democratic Republic (Lao PDR). A main aim of my field work in Lao PDR in 2006-2010 was to document traditional knowledge among different ethnic groups about plants that people use to repel or to kill blood-feeding invertebrates.
