The toxicity of some insecticides to Helicoverpa armigera was studied through sublethal effects, evaluating the enzymatic activity of esterase and the behavioral response. The commercial formulation of insecticides selected were chlorpyrifos, spinosad, indoxacarb, chlorantraniliprole, lambda-cyhalothrin and Bacillus thuringiensis, corresponding the most used by farmers to control of H. armigera. To determine th...
The presence of color in textile effluents has been studied because of the need for more effective treatments. Therefore, advanced oxidative processes (AOP) have been used in the degradation of dyes, as well as in the conversion of organic matter. This study evaluated the degradation of the direct orange 26 textile dye by Fenton and photo-Fenton processes (with natural solar radiation). A statistical analysis, ...
In this study, a leaf extract from Schinus terebinthifolius was evaluated for effects on survival, development, and midgut of A. aegypti fourth instar larvae (L4), as well as for toxic effect on Artemia salina. Leaf extract was obtained using 0.15 M NaCl and evaluated for phytochemical composition and lectin activity. Early L4 larvae were incubated with the extract (0.3–1.35%, w/v) for 8 days, in presence or ab...
FACEPE; CNPq; CAPES; Lectinas, proteínas que ligam específica e reversivelmente a carboidratos, isoladas da entrecasca (MuBL) e do cerne (MuHL) da aroeira-do-sertão (Myracrodruon urundeuva) foram agentes inseticidas contra operários e soldados de Nasutitermes corniger (MuHL) e larvas de Aedes aegypti (MuBL e MuHL). A presente Tese descreve a purificação da lectina de folha de M. urundeuva (MuLL), a atividade te...
