Not Available Infectious hematopoeitic necrosis (IHN) is a highly contagious rhabdoviral disease of important species of trout and salmon. There are presently no proven or accepted methods for prevention or treatment of IHN. Under the intensive conditions of aquaculture, IHN virus (IHNV) causes significant losses at nearly all stages of production. The results of Phase I studies indicated that int ...

The objectives of the Phase II program are to optimize the nitrate extraction/recovery process and to develop a bench-scale redox-recyclable nitrate removal system to be evaluated in water treatment, residential, and industrial settings. All of the basic concepts were proven in the Phase I program, and feasibility was demonstrated. It was shown that a redox-active extractant can be dissolved in a ...

The proposed research investigates the potential of commercializing a new strain of E. formosa on silverleaf whitefly for marketing to greenhouse growers. USDA-APHIS-PPQ (MBCL) has been rearing the new strain on silverleaf whitefly since 1992. HGI has been culturing this strain of E. formosa on silverleaf whitefly since 1997. Data collected to date indicates this parasitoid strain is effective aga ...

Not Available The United State Department of Agricultural (USDA) and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS) in conjunction with other Federal and State Organizations, have conducted a number of integrated pest management programs to eradicate various types of household pest including Red Imported Fire Ants (RIFA). Recent programs have involved application of products such as Malat ...

Not Available Escherichia coli 0157:H7 is an emerging cause of foodborne illness first identified as an etiological agent in 1982. There is a need for low complexity, rapid (less than four hours) detection method capable of being performed on site at food processing plants in association with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Plans (HACCP). Ideally, this test should be simple to perform and int ...
