Phosphine resistance is occurring among stored-grain pests worldwide.This study investigated the fumigation activity of phosphine (PH3) and carbonyl sulfide (COS) against domestic strain (d-strain) Tribolium castaneum, resistance strain (r-strain) T.castaneum and Oryzaephilus surinamensis.All developmental stages of the pests were exposed to two fu

Abstract Primary afferent neurons that convey somatosensory modalities comprise two large, heterogeneous populations: small-diameter neurons that give rise to slowly conducting unmyelinated axonal C hlpro4sw fibers and medium-to-large diameter neurons with fast myelinated A fibers.Despite these two major groupings, tools to differentiate between un
