mosquito larvicidal activity of oleic and linoleic acids isolated from citrullus colocynthis (linn.) schrad.	in mosquito control programs, botanical origin may have the potential to be used successfully as larvicides. the larvicidal activity of crude acetone, hexane, ethyl acetate, methanol, and petroleum ether extracts of the leaf of centella asiatica linn., datura metal linn., mukia scabrella arn., toddalia asiatica (linn.) lam, extracts of whole plant of citrullus colocynthis (linn.) schrad, and sphaeranthus indicus linn. were assayed for their toxicity against the early fourth instar larvae of cule ...	2008	18688644
zucchini yellow mosaic virus: biological properties, detection procedures and comparison of coat protein gene sequences.	between 2006 and 2010, 5324 samples from at least 34 weed, two cultivated legume and 11 native species were collected from three cucurbit-growing areas in tropical or subtropical western australia. two new alternative hosts of zucchini yellow mosaic virus (zymv) were identified, the australian native cucurbit cucumis maderaspatanus, and the naturalised legume species rhyncosia minima. low-level (0.7%) seed transmission of zymv was found in seedlings grown from seed collected from zucchini (cucur ...	2011	21935626
evaluation of antibacterial efficacy of phyto fabricated silver nanoparticles using mukia scabrella (musumusukkai) against drug resistance nosocomial gram negative bacterial pathogens.	given the fact in the limitation of the therapeutic options for emerging multidrug resistance gram-negative bacteria (mdr-gnb) of respiratory tract infections, the present study was focused on green synthesis of antimicrobial silver nanoparticles (agnps) using leaf extract of mukia scabrella. an obvious color change to brown color and surface plasmon resonance by uv-visible spectroscopy (uv-vis) indicated a well observable peak at 440 nm confirming the synthesis of agnps. fourier transform infra ...	2013	23334182
