In the veterinary field, particularly in the poultry farming sector, (Panzer, 1797) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) is a significant pest that causes economic losses and acts as a vector for various pathogens. This study is the first to evaluate the efficacy of the entomopathogenic nematode Filipjev, 1934 against both the larval (fifth instar) and imago (adult) of from various Turkish populations. The insects were collected from six poultry farms in the provinces of Balikesir, Bolu, Canakkale, Manisa, and Izmir in Türkiye, bred, and then tested at concentrations ranging from 25 to 200 infective juveniles (IJs) per milliliter.

Background: The extracts of different parts of plants were found very effective against various pests. The aim of this research was to determine the insecticidal activity of fruit methanol extracts obtained from (Meliaceae), (Arecaceae), (Fabaceae) and (Rosaceae) against the larvae of (Diptera: Culicidae).
Methods: The fruits of test plants were collected from the Campus of Akdeniz University, Antalya, Turkey in 2013.
Objective: To evaluate the larvicidal activity of the tuber extracts isolated from two species of Cyclamen Cyclamen mirabile Hildebr. and Cyclamen alpinum Dammann ex. Sprenger) against Culex pipiens L.
