Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Salma Fadhl"
- Salma Fadhl's research primarily focuses on innovative pest control methods for the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata), a significant agricultural pest with a wide host range and quarantine importance.
- Her findings indicate that entomopathogenic fungi, such as Purpureocillium lilacinum, can disrupt the metabolic processes of medflies, enhancing control strategies for pest management.
- Additionally, Fadhl evaluates the impact of probiotics on the immune response and fitness of mass-reared male medflies, essential for the effectiveness of the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) control method.
