From mercury in no other form have I met with the success which has resulted from the application of ihe ung. hydr. fort. The other preparations of ihe same metal were either discontinued from iheir too stimulating nature, or have seemed to be inefl'ec-. ttial in arresting tho progress of the malady. Perhaps, however, 1 might suggest that were the case to have proceeded to such extent as to show a-tendency to gangrene, the linimcnlum hydrargyri of the Pharmacopoeia would, by its combination of mercury and camphor, be a preparation advantageously adapted lo the case.Unless the ointment be applied immediately lo the part affected, I have not observed any beneficial results from its employment, and in some cases where, for experiment sake, I ordered friction with the mercurial
Tephritidae are the true fruit flies, which include the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), the walnut husk fly, Rhagoletis completa Cresson, the Mexican fruit fly, Anastrephaludens (Loew), and the apple maggot fly, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh). Fruit fly infestation causes major damage to many economically-important food crops and is of major concern in agriculture worldwide.Tephritidae are controlled primarily by repeated applications of organophosphate pesticides. Health concerns, environmental pollution, and costs associated with pesticide use press researchers to find new methods for control. One approach to finding new control methods involves investigating the associations that exist between tephritids and microorganisms. Currently, bacterial odors are being used to lure these pest tephritids into traps. These flies are specifically attracted to odors from certain bacteria found to inhabit their gut. Data suggest that these bacteria are likely involved in important aspects of fruit fly nutrition and reproduction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
