What is Bti? How does it work? Is it safe? What is Bti? How does it work? Is it safe? Mosquitoes use standing water to breed, which is why you should make sure there isn’t any standing water on your property. But what if you can’t get rid of the standing water? That’s where Bti becomes useful. If you can’t empty, scrub or cover items that hold water you can use Bti to kill off any mosquito larvae that could be hatching in there. So, what is Bti?

Growth responses of Solanum melongena L. treated with Carica papaya L. crude latex extract at different concentrations | IJB_INNSPUB - International Journal of Biosciences || IJB - INNSPUB

Carica papaya latex is reported to be insecticidal, bacteriocidal, molluscicidal and fungicidal which are beneficial in agriculture. A complete randomized design (CRD) experiment was conducted to determine the growth responses of Solanum melongena treated with Carica papaya crude latex extract at different concentrations. Field results show that the mean stem height (sh) was 40.7 cm trial 1 (T1) antifungal activity (AFA) and 35.0 cm (T3) for larvicidal activity (LA); stem diameter (sd) was 3.2 cm (T3 and T5) for AFA and 3.1 cm (T4, T3 and T2) for LA. The total number of leaves (L) were 122 (T1: AFA) and 100 (T2: LA). For AFA, the mean number of damaged or infested leaves (diL) was 3.0 for T2, T3 and T5 and 2.0 for all treatments in LA.

Very important! The possible role of insecticide in microcephaly needs to be thoroughly investigated by unbiased scientists (those who don’t profit from Zika hysteria - insecticide manufacturers, Zika vaccine developers…) Are Colombia’s missing microcephaly cases linked to a pesticide in Brazil? Since the appearance of Zika in Colombia more than a year ago, public health officials have awaited a surge in the number of newborns with microcephaly—a surge that has yet to materialize. The current total of 56 cases remains far below what most experts predicted based on the much larger number of cases reported in Brazil, over 2,000 to date. According to a new report by the New England Complex Systems Institute, the relationship between Zika and microcephaly remains unclear even within Brazil’s borders, raising serious questions about its use as a model for predicting the disease’s spread and side effects . The report compares the ratio of confirmed Zika cases to confirmed microcephaly cases in each of Brazil’s states. This proportion varies wildly. The majority of microcephaly cases are clustered in the northeastern states, but even there the ratio is inconsistent. This pattern does not match the data from either French Polynesia’s or Colombia’s Zika epidemics. One explanation for the over-abundance of microcephaly cases in Brazil’s northeast region and the absence of cases in other regions and countries is that some other factor is contributing to birth defects. Zika can explain some but not most of the microcephaly cases . One possible environmental contributor is the pesticide pyriproxyfen which has been applied to drinking water since Fall 2014 in Brazil but not in Colombia. The case for pyriproxyfen has been largely dismissed, but this larvicide is chemically similar to retinoic acid which is known to cause microcephaly. Brazil continues to report new microcephaly cases at the rate of 100 births per month. NECSI President Yaneer Bar-Yam commented, “Urgent policy action is needed to replace the use of pyriproxyfen until more research can be done. Even without confirmation of a connection to birth defects , the risk is too great to keep using the pesticide.” Yaneer Bar-Yam, Raphael Parens, Alfredo J. Morales, Is Zika the cause of Microcephaly?

New Post has been published on http://www.therakyatpost.com/news/2014/07/09/end-sight-dengue-menace-says-local-company/ End in sight for dengue menace, says local company KUALA LUMPUR, July 9: The dengue menace suffered by urban folk could be at an end if the government agrees to unleash a larvicide developed by a local company. EntoGenex chairman Tunku Naquiyuddin Tuanku Ja’afar said Mousticide uses non-toxic ingredients that were target-specific and safe for humans, plants and animals. “Mousticide combines two naturally occurring active ingredients, Trypsin Modulating Oostatic Factor (TMOF) with Bacillus Thuringiensis Israelensis (Bti) to kill mosquito larvae.” He said Mousticide comes in two formats, the Mousticide RH and Mousticide WP, adding that Mousticide RH’s active ingredient was coated on rice husks and works by dropping a pinch into water retaining containers such as pots, ponds, drains and others, and will remain active for up to a month. “We picked rice husks because it floats and mosquito larvae are found near the top of the water. “When Mousticide is taken in by the mosquito larvae, it releases a digestive enzyme trypsin in the larvae. This prevents digestion and the larvae starves to death.” Tunku Naquiyuddin said targeting mosquitoes at their most vulnerable stage (larvae) is the best solution to tackle the dengue epidemic problem facing the country. On the conventional approach that uses chemical fogging, he said it targets the adults, but not much is known about the Aedes mosquitoes’ day time activities. He said fogging is only effective for an hour or two whilst Mousticide can be effective for up to a month, adding that a field test of this bio-tech idea in a dengue hotspot area, the Setapak public housing flats, was carried out in 2010. He said during the trial, one block was maintained as control tower with no treatment, while the other two blocks were treated with Mousticide. “The larviciding-effect was immediate. During the five week trial, the control tower recorded nine cases of dengue and the other two recorded zero cases. This trial was published by the World Health Organisation.” Tunku Naquiyuddin pointed out that Mousticide was 200 times more effective than other products. Meanwhile, the product is said to not only tackle dengue but it has also proven effective against malaria and chikungunya. He added that it might also be effective against Japanese Encephalitis (JE), but no test has been carried out. The product is available via online. However, within a month, it would be available in hypermarkets and pharmacies. Tunku Naquiyuddin said the company was also working with the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry (Mosti) on the Bebas Dengue programme. He said it wanted to come up with a holistic plan to tackle the dengue problem. “The plan is to involve households, neighbourhoods and local councils in fighting dengue with Mousticide. This programme will be conducted over one year. “If successful, it will be marketed globally as a solution to fight mosquito-borne diseases.”

The Real Cause of Brazil’s Microcephaly Outbreak is Monsanto Partner's Larvicide Not The Zika Virus Says Doctors

The Real Cause of Brazil’s Microcephaly Outbreak is Monsanto Partner’s Larvicide Not The Zika Virus Says Doctors Pregnant women around the world are living in fear of the birth defect called microcephaly, a congenital condition that causes newborns to have small heads. The birth defect is said to be linked to Zika virus infection, but is it a weak link? According to Tech Times , “The notion, however, has recently been challenged by a group of Argentine physicians. The group suspects that the Zika virus is… View On WordPress

Monsanto’s larvicide suggested to be the actual cause of Microcephaly (babies born with tiny heads) in Brazil instead of the Zika virus. Huh who would have thought. it is not like Monsanto’s other products like Agent Orange have caused birth defects or anything. Oh wait…
