28. Relative Abundance and Flight Phenology of Two Pheromone Types of Acrobasis nuxvorella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae).

Abstract

Two synthetic sex pheromones have been developed and are currently used to detect the flight of the pecan nut casebearer, Acrobasis nuxvorella Neunzig, the most damaging pest of pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch]. One pheromone (referred to as standard) is attractive to moths in the southern United States, but not in Mexico. The other pheromone (referred to as Mexican) is attractive to moths in the southern United States and in Mexico. These two pheromones have been implemented by producers as an important tool in monitoring the activity of this pest and have allowed for more efficient pesticide use. In the future, these pheromones could be used as a means of population reduction through pheromone based control methods. Trapping data taken over a 3-yr period were used to determine if phenological differences exist between pheromone types of pecan nut casebearer. The relative abundance of each pheromone type at several locations in the United States also was evaluated. Results of this study indicate that no phenological differences exist between the two pheromone types studied in the United States and that significantly more males are attracted to field-deployed pheromone traps baited with the standard pheromone than to traps baited with the Mexican pheromone.

29. Activation of Hibernating Acrobasis nuxvorella Neunzig Larvae as an Effect of Carya illinoinensis (Wang.) K. Koch Budbreak.

Abstract

The pecan nut casebearer, Acrobasis nuxvorella Neunzig, is a severe pest in pecan, Carya illinoinensis (Wang.) K. Koch, orchards in Sonora, México. In this pecan-producing region, severe damage has been quantified in the growth of new shoots at the budbreak time of the pecan trees. To examine the interactions between the pecan nut casebearer and pecan tree, we quantified the hatch of the overwintering larvae at the beginning of the budbreak of pecan trees. The activation of hibernating pecan nut casebearer larvae appears when shoot growth is ≥5cm. The larval development was greatest in shoots >15 cm. A reliable correlation was found between the size of shoots and the larval instars. This is the first study that quantified the emergence of the overwintering larva with budbreak. Information gained was expected to provide basic insight into the behavioral relationship of this herbivore with the host plant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

30. Phorid Flies, Pseudacteon spp. (Diptera: Phoridae), Affect Forager Size Ratios of Red Imported Fire Ants Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Texas.

Abstract

Multiple species of Pseudacteon phorid flies (Diptera: Phoridae) are currently being released throughout the southern United States to aid biological control of red imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). It is anticipated that these flies will interfere with S. invicta foraging, allowing native ant assemblages to outcompete S. invicta for available resources. Numerous studies have shown a decrease in S. invicta foraging intensity when exposed to phorids. This study documents a behavioral change in phorid-exposed S. invicta colonies at a phorid release site in central Texas. Significant differences in forager size ratios were detected between phorid-exposed and phorid-absent colonies. A similar phenomenon was recently documented in the native range of these insects in South America as well. Experimental manipulation of ratios of S. invicta worker sizes has been shown to have important effects on colony success. This newly documented phorid-mediated S. invicta colony-level effect represents a significant shift in S. invicta foraging dynamics and may provide an additional mechanism by which phorids can influence S. invicta populations in their United States range.

31. Alterations in serum MMP-8, MMP-9, IL-12p40 and IL-23 in multiple sclerosis patients treated with interferon-β1b.

Abstract

Background: Interferon-β1b (IFN-β1b), an effective treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS), lessens disease severity in MS patients. However, the mechanisms of its immunoregulatory and anti-inflammatory effects in MS remain only partially understood. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) are involved in blood brain barrier disruption and formation of MS lesions. Th1/Th17 cytokines e.g. interleukins IL-12p40, IL-17, and IL-23, are associated with MS disease activity and are significant players in pathogenesis of MS. Objective: During a 1-year prospective study, we serially measured serum MMP-8, MMP-9, TIMP-1, IL-12p40, IL-17, and IL-23 in 24 patients with relapsing-remitting MS. We compared the results to clinical course and to brain magnetic resonance imaging. IFN-β1b decreased serum MMP-8 and MMP-9 (not TIMP-1). Results: The sustained treatment with IFN-β1b attenuated the pro-inflammatory environment by significantly reducing the serum IL-12p40, IL-23, and showed a trend for decreasing IL-17. Decreased serum MMP-8, MMP-9, IL-12 and IL-23 levels were correlated with a decrease in the number of contrast-enhanced T2-weighted lesions. Conclusion: Early treatment of MS with IFN-β1b may stabilize clinical disease by attenuating levels of inflammatory cytokines and MMPs. Serial measurement of inflammatory mediators may serve as sensitive markers to gauge therapeutic responses to IFN-β1b during the first year of treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

37. Investigative Industrial Hygiene: Airborne Lead Concentrations During Arc Gouging in Confined Spaces

Author

Harris, M. K. and Carter, S. R.

Abstract

Airborne lead was detected above the permissible exposure limit of 50 µg/m3 during arc gouging of steel in confined spaces. The material being arc gouged had not been previously painted. Engineering controls, analytical error, substrate contamination, and arc-gouging electrodes were examined to determine the source of the lead. Results of a bench-test investigation indicated that the source of the airborne lead appeared to be irregularly distributed lead contamination in the copper cladding of the carbon-cored arc gouging electrodes. Lead may also be present in the carbon cores. Wide variation in results obtained indicated that the potential for lead in confined space atmospheres during arc gouging may not be revealed during short sampling campaigns.
