field trials of steinernema feltiae (nematoda: steinernematidae) for control of alphitobius diaperinus (coleoptera: tenebrionidae)in commercial broiler and turkey houses.		1987	3571698
efficacies of mixtures of disinfectants and insecticides.	efficacies of mixtures of diluted commercial formulations of selected insecticides and disinfectants were evaluated. insecticides tested included representative pyrethroids (fenvalerate [ectrin wdl and wd] and permethrin [ectiban ec]), organophosphates (dichlorvos [vapona ec], tetrachlorvinphos [rabon wp] and dichlorvos/tetrachlorvinphos [ravap ec], and a carbamate (carbaryl [sevin s]). disinfectants tested included representatives of cresylic acid (biolene), cresylic acid/phenol (bioguard x-185 ...	1987	3112756
occupational sensitivity to alphitobius diaperinus (panzer) (lesser mealworm).	alphitobius diaperinus is an important beetle in the grain and poultry industries. we evaluated three individuals with work-related symptoms of asthma, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, urticaria, and angioedema on exposure to the insect. prick skin tests with extracts prepared from the larval, pupal, and adult life stages were positive in all three patients. specific ige antibodies to these extracts were demonstrated by rast or radioimmunoassay. rast and radioimmunoassay inhibition confirmed the specif ...	1988	2462582
occupational sensitivity to tenebrio molitor linnaeus (yellow mealworm).	tenebrio molitor is an abundant stored-grain pest in the northern united states. we evaluated an individual with work-related symptoms of rhinoconjunctivitis on exposure to this insect. prick skin tests with extracts prepared from the larval, pupal, and adult-life stages were positive for the patient and for another individual with allergy to a closely related species of beetle, alphitobius diaperinus. specific ige antibodies to the extracts were demonstrated by rast. rast inhibition demonstrate ...	1990	2384648
use of ivermectin to control the lesser mealworm (coleoptera: tenebrionidae) in a simulated poultry broiler house.	broiler chickens were fed ivermectin at a level of 2 ppm for 5 wk to determine its efficacy against the lesser mealworm, alphitobius diaperinus. this treatment essentially eliminated lesser mealworm larvae; no ivermectin residues were found in the livers of the treated chickens, even without a withdrawal period. however, the feeding of ivermectin may reduce body weights body weight gain and feed efficiency at older ages.	1990	2235843
