The peach potato aphid, Myzus persicae, is a serious crop pest with a worldwide distribution. It has short generation time, high reproductive rate and the ability to adapt to new hosts and develop resistance against major class of insecticides. There...

The sibling species Anopheles gambiae s.s. and Anopheles coluzzii are the most important vectors of human malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. They are thought to be undergoing speciation with gene flow with rare viable hybrids but are reproductively isola...

Bleeding canker of Aesculus hippocastanum is caused by Pseudomonas syringae pathovar aesculi. The disease has rapidly spread through many countries, yet little is known about this potentially fatal disease. Climate change affects plant diseases direc...

Effects of genetic and environmental factors on reproductive success in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae Sensu Stricto
Thesis
(2013). Effects of genetic and environmental factors on reproductive success in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae Sensu Stricto

Anopheles gambiae is a major vector of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Given the widespread emergence of pesticide resistance in Anopheles gambiae populations, vector control programs involving the release of sterile males or genetically-modified male...

The use of sewage sludges as nitrogenous fertilizers for grassland
Thesis
(1982). The use of sewage sludges as nitrogenous fertilizers for grassland

The value of liquid anaerobically digested (LDS), liquid activated (LAS) and pressed cake (PC) as nitrogen fertilizers for grassland was compared to that of ammonium nitrate (AH) in a field trial containing 16 treatments applied to 1.5m x 10m plots r...
