Pakchoi (Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis) often experiences reduced productivity due to attacks by Plutella xylostella, which can cause damage levels of 30–90% during the growth phase. The purpose of this reasearch was to determine the attraction of the parasitoid Trichogramma to P. xylostella eggs placed on pakchoi plants that had been induced by the entomopathogenic fungus Penicillium citrin…
Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) is the most destructive insect pest of cruciferous crops and serves as a major limiting factor in Brassicaceae production worldwide. Therefore, this study focused on evaluating the attraction of Trichogramma sp. toward pakchoi plants induced with entomopathogenic endophytic fungi. This research employed seed treatments consisting of si…
This study was objected to assess the impact of larval parasitoid release on the population and attack of Liriomyza salivae and has been carried out at grower’s and experimental farm of Department of Plant Pests and Diseases, Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University, Indralaya Campus, from July to August 2006. Direct observation on the sampling plants have been conducted. The results were…
Liriomyza sativae (Blanchard) is polyphagus-leafrniner insect attacking more than 70 plant species with belong to 20 families, 11 ornamental crop species, 13 wild plant species and 46 vegetable plant. Spesies the high diversity of host species might be followed by high diversity of its parasitoids. The objectives of this research was to investigate the diversity of L. sativae parasitoids and it…
Manusia merupakan hospes dari beberapa nematoda usus. Sebagian besar nematoda ini menyebabkan masalah kesehatan masyarakat di Indonesia. Di antara nematoda usus terdapat sejumlah spesies yang ditularkan melalui tanah dan disebut “soil transmitted helminthsy\ Salah satu yang terpenting bagi manusia adalah Ascaris lumbricoides. Penyakit yang disebabkan oleh cacing ini disebut askariasis. Melalu…
Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections in Indonesia remain highly prevalent (2.5–62%), particularly among populations with poor sanitation. Flies can act as mechanical vectors through food contamination, and warm, humid environments rich in organic waste support fly breeding. This study aimed to assess the presence of STH egg contamination on the bodies of flies captured at the Padang Sel…
Fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) merupakan salah satu hama utama pada tanaman jagung yang sifatnya invasif. S. frugiperda dapat menyerang tanaman jagung mulai dari fase vegetatif hingga generatif, namun pada fase vegetatif tingkat kerusakannya oleh S. frugiperda serangan lebih tinggi dibandingkan fase generatif. Keberadaan S. frugiperda dapat menurunkan produksi tanaman ja…
Skabies adalah penyakit kulit menular yang menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat di Indonesia. Respons imun skabies melibatkan IL-10 dan ekspresi gen HBD-2, yang dimodulasi oleh 25(OH)D (vitamin D). Santri berisiko mengalami defisiensi vitamin D karena aktivitasnya banyak dalam ruangan, berpakaian tertutup dan konsumsi rendah vitamin D. Rendahnya kadar 25(OH)D dapat memengaruhi keparahan skabies…
Background: Scabies (scabies, agogo itch) is an inflammatory skin condition that causes itching especially at night, caused by Sarcoptes scabiei variant hominis (S. Scabiei). Scabies is highly contagious through skin contact and occurs indirectly through clothing or bedding contaminated with mites. One of the risk factors causing scabies is lack of knowledge, attitude and behavior. The purpose …
Background. Head lice infestation, known as pediculosis capitis, is a parasitic infestation caused by Pediculus humanus var. capitis (P. h. var. capitis). It is also an obligate parasite that must feed on human blood to survive. This condition commonly affects school-age children but can also occur in adults and spreads rapidly in densely populated environments, such as dormitories, orphanages,…
Scabies is the most common skin disease suffered by prisoners at the Class IIA Tanjung Raja Prison. This study aims to analyse the relationship between personal hygiene and environmental sanitation conditions with the incidence of scabies at the Class IIA Tanjung Raja Prison. This study used a quantitative method with a case-control design. The study population was all prisoners at the Class II…
Introduction: Pediculosis capitis is a disease caused by obligate ectoparasites called Pediculus humanus var. capitis or head lice. Pediculus humanus var. Capitis moves by creeping, close contact with someone is very likely to be infected. Pediculosis capitis spreads very quickly in crowded environments, such as Islamic boarding schools and orphanages. This study aims to determine the relations…
