Objective: To explore a new prevention and control model on soil-borne parasitic diseases in rural areas of China.

Methods: Eight provinces and autonomous regions were selected in China as demonstration areas implementing integrated control on soil-borne parasitic diseases. The integrated control measures included authority organization and harmonization, health education, deworming, and environment modification.

Results: After three years, the infection rates of soil-borne parasitic diseases were significantly decreased in these areas. There were three safe guard and organization modes, three health education modes, four mass worming medication modes, and two modes of water, toilet and environment changes.

Conclusion: The work in the various demonstration areas was summarized which pointed out a new model with efficiency and local characteristics on soil-borne parasitic disease prevention and control.

Insecticides may facilitate the escape of weeds from biological control.

Department of Entomology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, United States of America.

Background: Preventative pesticide seed treatments (hereafter preventative pest management or PPM) are common corn and soybean treatments, and often include both fungicides and neonicotinoid insecticides. While PPM is intended to protect crops from soil-borne pathogens and early season insect pests, these seed treatments may have detrimental effects on biological control of weed seeds by insects.

Methods: Here, in two 3-year corn-soy rotations in Pennsylvania USA, we investigated a PPM approach to insect management compared to an integrated pest management approach (IPM) and a "no (insect) pest management" (NPM) control.

BACKGROUND Ancylostoma caninum is a soil-borne, soil-transmitted helminth with infective larvae and produces cutaneous larva migrans in humans. The objective of this study was to confirm the presence of A. caninum in domestic dogs from the urban-marginal and rural sectors of the Ecuadorian coast through morphometry, culture, and molecular techniques.

Fungicidal activity of curcumol against Phytophthora capsici via inhibiting phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis and its systemic translocation in plants.

Article Synopsis
  • Phytophthora capsici is a dangerous soil-borne pathogen that threatens agriculture, but curcumol, a plant-derived compound, shows strong antifungal properties against it and other related pathogens.
  • Curcumol was found to significantly disrupt the growth and structure of P. capsici by damaging its cell membrane and inhibiting phosphatidylcholine synthesis, which is vital for cell integrity.
  • In practical tests, curcumol not only lowered disease rates in tomato and pepper plants but also demonstrated effective mobility within plant systems, suggesting its potential as a new fungicide.

Plasmodiophora brassicae, a soil-borne biotroph, establishes galls as strong physiological sinks on Brassicaceae plants including Brassica napus and Arabidopsis thaliana. We compare transcriptional profiles of phloem dissected from leaf petioles and hypocotyls of healthy and infected B. napus plants.
