Evaluation of the role of plant-derived chemicals in mosquito ecology and control
… disease pathogens, has been extensively studied, plant-feeding is an essential element in the life histories of most mosquito species. For these species, adults of both sexes seek out and depend on floral nectar. Moreover, the larvae of the majority of mosquito species consume dead decaying plant …

Isolation and biological characterisation of plant-derived chemicals for antibacterial purposes in food animals and humans
… aim of this study was to search and isolate plant-derived antimicrobial compounds which could be useful for disease control in animals and could have the potential for further pharmaceutical development in both human and veterinary applications. In this study, plant specimens were collected …

Ameliorative effects of phytochemical ingestion on viral infection in honey bees
… a honey bee pest capable of vectoring viruses. Plant-derived chemicals (phytochemicals) represent a broad range of substances that honey bees frequently encounter and consume, many of which are known to improve honey bee health, although their effect on bee viruses is largely unknown. This …

Anthropometric, metabolic and immunological factors in overweight/obesity and their influence on the responsiveness to a nutritional intervention for body weight management.
… body weight and fat accumulation. A group of plant-derived chemicals, known as polyphenols and with recognised anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, have been suggested as potential candidates to aid weight loss and management. On the other hand, great variability is observed in the …

Toxicity of mycotoxins to insects and underlying molecular and biochemical mechanisms
… and also facilitate fungal access to their host plants. Insects in turn may take advantage of fungi for protection against their natural enemies and for processing refractory plant constituents to increase their digestibility. This interaction is manifested in many crops as an association between …
