Date fruit is considered one of the most important fruits crop, that helps in the increment of national income. During storage, date fruits face a lot of problems such as infestation with insects, diseases and mites. The most damaging mite species are Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank) (Astigmata: Acaridae) and Rhizoglyphus robini Claparede (Astigmata: Acaridae). Therefore, this work aims to evaluate two physical control methods, gamma radiation and ozone gas treatment in controlling these two mites. The two mites were irradiated with doses of 0 (control), 100, 200, 300 and 400 Gy in a source of Cobalt-60 type Indian Gamma cell with a dose rate of 0.7967 k Gy /hr. to control eggs and mobile stages. Obtained results concluded that the mites' mortality percentage increases by increasing irradiation doses and the dose for controlling 100% of the two tested mites' species was 400 Gy. While exposing the mites stages to concentrations of 0 (control), 100, 200, 300 and 400ppm of ozone gas, the results showed that the mites mortality percentage increases by increasing ozone concentrations and/or exposure period. The results indicated that ozone has the potential to control the tested mites, particularly at 200 ppm in just 4 hrs.exposure period and 99% at 400 ppm at the same exposure time. The results clearly showed that the mobile stages were more susceptible to radiation and ozone than the egg stage. Also, although radiation and ozone are safe and environmentally friendly methods of pest control, and effective to control the two mites' species with low risk but ozone control was faster and more efficient.
枣子被认为是最重要的水果作物之一,有助于增加国民收入。在贮藏过程中,枣果面临着许多问题,如虫、病、螨的侵扰。危害最大的螨种是腐螨(散毛目:粉螨科)和绿螨(散毛目:粉螨科)。因此,本文旨在评价伽马辐射和臭氧气体处理两种物理防治方法对这两种螨虫的防治效果。在钴-60型印度伽玛细胞源中分别以0(对照)、100、200、300和400 Gy的剂量照射2只螨,剂量率为0.7967 k Gy /hr。控制卵和活动阶段。结果表明,随着照射剂量的增加,螨类的死亡率增加,照射剂量为400 Gy时,对两种螨类的控制达到100%。臭氧浓度分别为0(对照)、100、200、300和400ppm时,螨虫的死亡率随臭氧浓度和暴露时间的增加而增加。结果表明,臭氧具有控制被试螨的潜力,特别是在200 ppm的浓度下,仅4小时。曝光时间和相同曝光时间下400ppm的99%。结果清楚地表明,移动阶段比卵阶段更容易受到辐射和臭氧的影响。此外,虽然辐射和臭氧是安全、环保的害虫防治方法,对两种螨类的防治效果较好,风险较低,但臭氧防治更快、更有效。

Wildlife is a major asset and they are very important in ecological balance. Mammals were hunted due to demands for their meats and other parts of the animal. This study was aimed at assessing the prevalence of infection in selected mammals as well as knowledge of hunters and sellers about conservation and zoonotic issues. One hundred mammals were examined, Pangolin, Phataginus tricuspis (Pholidonta: Manis), hedgehog, Atelerix albiventris (Insectivora: Erinaceidae) and Porcupine, Atherurus africanus (Gray, 1842); the overall prevalence is 14% with 15.7% in Epe market and 10% in Odoona market, Ibadan. Hedgehog had the highest prevalence at the markets, 54.5%, and 40% respectively followed by Pangolin, (36.4% and 14.3%)’ the least was observed in Porcupine (3.2%) in Epe market only. Single infection was observed in all mammals except in Pangolin and hedgehog where co-infection was observed. Helminthes recovered were Strongyloides sp, Metadavainae sp, Capillaria sp, and Hymenolepis sp. Infectivity was related to seasonal variation which shows no significant relationship; however, more males were infected in wet and dry but no female was infected during the dry season. Assessment of the knowledge of hunters showed that they are predominantly male with little or no knowledge about conservation law. Gun was the most effective method of killing which was used to kill animals indiscriminately because it was believed that game animals keep increasing in the forests hunted. are these game animals; they had little knowledge about zoonotic diseases (3.3%), only a few (36.7%) use deworming drugs, and 22.2% every 3 months. Conservation and health needs be intensified for hunters and bushmeat handlers to prevent the re-emerge of some zoonotic infections.
