The control of parasitic diseases in small ruminants is mainly done with the use of synthetic anthelmintics. However, incorrect and indiscriminate use of these products has caused the emergence of parasite resistance. Plants with anthelmintic activity are used in folk veterinary medicine, but it is necessary to investigate and scientifically validate low-cost phytotherapeutic alternatives for future use to control gastrointestinal nematodes in small ruminants by family farmers. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro anthelmintic effect of plant extracts from Melia azedarach and Trichilia claussenii by the egg hatch test (EHT) and larval development test (LDT) against sheep gastrointestinal nematodes. The hexane extract of M. azedarach fruits was extracted through cold percolation and the methanol extract of T. claussenii leaves was obtained by extraction at room temperature in solvents in order of increasing polarity. The efficacy results were analyzed using the Probit program of SAS. The M. azedarach extract showed a LC50 of 572.2 mu g/mL and LC99 of 1137.8 mu g/mL in the EHT, and LC50 of 0.7 mu g/mL and LC99 of 60.81 mu g/mL in the LDT. In turn, the T. claussenii extract presented a LC50 of 263.8 mu g/mL and LC99 of 522.5 mu g/mL in the EHTand LC50 of 1.11 mu g/mL and LC99 of 26.4 mu g/mL in the LDT. Comparing the extracts of the species from the Meliaceae family, T. claussenii showed greater anti-parasite potential in vitro than M. azedarach. However, studies on the isolated compounds, toxicity and administration forms to animals are also needed to validate low-cost alternative herbal remedies for use to control gastrointestinal nematodes by family farmers.

O fungo Penicillium janthinellum, obtido de Melia azedarach, produziu ergosterol, ergosterol 5a,8a-peróxido e uma mistura de esteróides C25 epiméricos de ocorrência restrita na natureza. Os esteróides C25, denominados neociclocitrinóis, possuem o mesmo sistema tetracíclico de anéis presente no ciclocitrinol, o qual foi isolado do fungo Penicillium citrinum, associado a uma esponja, com o mesmo esqueleto biciclo[4:4:1] nos anéis A/B, mas com cadeias laterais diferentes. O P. janthinellum isolado de M. azedarach, foi cultivado sobre milho branco e os três esteróides foram isolados por vários procedimentos cromatográficos e identificados por cuidadosa análise dos dados de RMN, principalmente correlações 1H – 13C em duas dimensões bem como COSY e TOCSY 1H – 1H. A origem biossintética dos ciclocitrinóis é discutida.

C, isolado como um fungo endofítico dos frutos de Melia azedarach, foi cultivado por 20 dias em milho branco triturado e autoclavado, onde os policetídeos conhecidos citrinina, emodina, 1,6,8-triidróxi-3-hidroximetilantraquinona, e uma nova antraquinona modificada, denominada janthinona, foram produzidos e isolados por procedimentos cromatográficos clássicos e identificados por extensivos estudos espectroscópicos, principalmente RMN 1D e 2D e EM. Essas substâncias foram ensaiadas contra diversas bactérias. Citrinina foi ensaiada pela primeira vez contra Leishmania e inibiu 100% o crescimento de cepas depois de 48h a uma concentração de 40 μg mL-1.

We evaluated oil and powder formulations of Melia azedarach for controlling larvae of Diabrotica speciosa (Germar) in corn and plant enhancement. Five concentrations of each formulation were evaluated and compared to fipronil (negative control) and distilled water (positive control). After treatment, the number of surviving insects (larvae, pupae, and adults), the adult body weight, the sex ratio, and the longevity were recorded, while the height, dry weight of aerial part and roots, and number of leaves of plants were measured. The oil formulation at 4.0 mL reduced the larvae population of D. speciosa similarly to the insecticide fipronil, which resulted in greater height, dry weight of the root system, and number of leaves. Powder formulation at concentrations of 40, 80, and 160 mg caused larval mortality above 80%; however, these concentrations did not prevent reduction of plant height and dry weight of aerial part. Further studies assessing the residual period of M. azedarach control against D. speciosa larvae and its phytotoxicity, which are common traits associated with azadirachtin application, are necessary to subsidize the next steps of this alternative control strategy.

En Argentina se están desarrollando genotipos de garbanzo (Cicer arietinum L.) para adecuarlos a las distintas zonas de producción. Estos presentan diferentes fenotipos lo que podría afectar las preferencias de oviposición de los insectos herbívoros de hábito minador. Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron: 1) determinar si las hembras del género Liriomyza spp. muestran preferencia por algún genotipo de garbanzo, y 2) evaluar el efecto del extracto de Melia azedarach sobre las líneas de garbanzo que resultaran susceptibles. Se sembraron dos líneas selectas y dos cultivares de C. arietinum que presentan hojas unifoliadas enteras o compuestas, en el Campo Experimental de la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, en bloques al azar con tres repeticiones. Para analizar la preferencia, mediante censos semanales se evaluó la presencia de las larvas de las moscas en el período julio-septiembre. Los dípteros eligieron de manera significativa los genotipos de hoja entera y grande. Posteriormente, las plantas con hojas minadas de las variedades preferidas fueron sometidas a tratamiento con el extracto botánico. Para ello se marcaron cinco plantas de cada bloque: a 15 se les aplicó extracto (10%) y a las otras 15 agua (control). Se observó que el número de hojas minadas, de pupas y adultos emergidos disminuyeron en los tratamientos con el extracto. Estudios complementarios serán necesarios para poder considerar este compuesto natural en un plan de manejo del herbívoro.

The profitability of fast-growing trees was investigated in the northeastern and eastern provinces of Thailand. The financial, economic, and tentative environmental-economic profitability was determined separately for three fast-growing plantation tree species and for three categories of plantation managers: the private industry, the state (the Royal Forest Department) and the farmers. Fast-growing tree crops were also compared with teak (Tectona grandis), a traditional medium or long rotation species, and Para rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) which presently is the most common cultivated tree in Thailand. The optimal rotation for Eucalyptus camaldulensis pulpwood production was eight years. This was the most profitable species in pulpwood production. In sawlog production Acacia mangium and Melia azedarach showed a better financial profitability. Para rubber was more profitable and teak less profitable than the three fast-growing species. The economic profitability was higher than the financial one, and the tentative environmental-economic profitability was slightly higher than the economic profitability. The profitability of tree growing is sensitive to plantation yields and labour cost changes and especially to wood prices. Management options which aim at pulpwood production are more sensitive to input or output changes than those options which include sawlog production. There is an urgent need to improve the growth and yield data and to study the environmental impacts of tree plantations for all species and plantation types.

Visando buscar métodos alternativos no controle da mosca-branca Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) biótipo B em tomateiro, foram realizados testes de atratividade e preferência para oviposição em casa-de-vegetação, utilizando-se quatorze extratos aquosos a 3% (peso/volume). Os extratos foram preparados com partes de Azadirachta indica, Trichilia pallida,Chenopodium ambrosioides,Piper nigrum,Melia azedarach,Ruta graveolens,Ricinus communis,Mentha pulegium,Tagetes erecta,Eucalyptus citriodora,Cymbopogon nardus e Coriandrum sativum. Numa segunda etapa, os extratos mais eficientes em casa-de-vegetação foram observados em laboratório, a fim de avaliar o possível efeito sistêmico dos mesmos sobre ninfas da mosca-branca. Constatou-se que as plantas de tomateiro pulverizadas com extratos à base de folhas de M. pulegium e folhas e sementes de A. indica foram menos atrativas aos adultos do inseto. Plantas pulverizadas com extratos de folhas de A. indica e folhas + ramos de R. communis mostraram efeitos deterrentes à oviposição do inseto, reduzindo o número de ovos; em contrapartida, o extrato à base de folhas de C. nardus estimulou a oviposição da mosca-branca sobre as plantas. O uso dos extratos por via sistêmica não afetou o período de desenvolvimento (ovo-adulto) da mosca-branca; entretanto, a presença de extratos de sementes e folhas de A. indica e de folhas de M. pulegium provocou aumento significativo na mortalidade de ninfas de B. tabaci biótipo B.

Yellows diseases associated with phytoplasmas cause high mortality in China-tree (Melia azedarach) in Argentina, but there has been no previous large-scale survey to determine their diversity and geographical distribution. To assess the presence and identity of phytoplasmas affecting this species throughout the country, 425 samples of symptomatic trees collected at different geographic locations were analysed by a polymerase chain reaction (using universal and group-specific primers) and restriction fragment length polymorphism. Phytoplasmas belonging to 16SrIII-B group were detected at almost every location sampled, whereas 16SrXIII-C group phytoplasmas, reported for the first time in Argentina, were only found in two regions sharing similar agro-ecological characteristics (Northeast provinces and Tucuman). Double infections with 16SrIII-B and 16SrXIII-C group phytoplasmas were also recorded. Nucleotide sequencing of the 16S rDNA of three Argentinian 16SrXIII-C group phytoplasma isolates revealed high identity (99.6-99.3%) with the CbY1 isolate reported from Bolivia.
