Subject field(s)
  • Crop Protection
  • Animal Pests (Crops)
DEF

An agent that drives away insects usually without destroying them.

CONT

Although insect repellants have not been used for insect control per se their advantages in the protection of man and materials is obvious. These chemicals have played a very important role in the protection of man against blood-sucking insects and vectors of diseases.

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
  • Research Experiments in Space
CONT

The Insect Habitat(IH) was designed to support a variety of insect species. However, during the initial flight increments, it will be dedicated to experiments using Drosophila melanogaster, or fruit flies. The Insect Habitat will enable studies of the fruit fly to learn how microgravity affects development, nervous system function, movement and behavior, growth, reproduction, aging, gene expression, mutagenesis from radiation and circadian rhythms or sleep/wake cycles.

CONT

The IH will support single- and multi-generation experiments that have approximate external dimensions of 13.5 cm (L) x 2.25 cm (D) x 7.0 cm (H) each. The flies will live in two chevron-shaped container elements. These containers can be divided into two parts using the internal food cylinders; this yields two 55 ml containers that can support up to 100 Drosophila through to egg-laying. Alternatively, the containers can be left undivided, which yields a single 110 ml volume that supports up to 200 Drosophila. ... The two insect containers reside in the science element portion of the IH. The science element consists of two environmentally controlled "drawers." Each drawer contains a centrifuge that can provide up to 2G. Each centrifuge will hold six insect containers. Typically, one drawer will have a microgravity environment and the other drawer will have a defined gravity environment, although the precise gravity regimen for each centrifuge can be determined by the researcher.

CONT

Insect Habitat (IH) for Space Station - The Insect Habitat System consists of a Transport Element, Science Element and an Insect Container Element.

OBS

Habitats in the Space Station Fundamental Biology Research Facility (SSFBRF) enable studies on a variety of organisms across multiple science disciplines. They allow scientists to conduct experiments in habitats that are similar in design to those that have been used in labs for ground studies. Each habitat provides life support, environmental control, and monitoring systems and can be housed in one or more of the three major host systems: the Centrifuge, Life Sciences Glovebox, and Habitat Holding Rack. This hardware was designed to automate as much as possible, thus providing maximizing science return while requiring minimal crew time.

OBS

insect habitat; IH: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

Record 7 2001-05-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fungi and Myxomycetes
  • Grain Growing
CONT

Losses caused by fungi include general deterioration of the grain, loss in germination and dry matter, heating, and the development of mustiness. Thermophilic or heat tolerant fungi can push grains mass temperatures beyond the range of insect survival. Medical evidence shows that mouldy grain or hay is the cause of farmers lung disease. Under favourable temperature and moisture conditions, some fungi produce mycotoxins. These toxins cause different animal diseases including abortions, reduced fertility and general ill-health. They also make grain unfit for human consumption. The production of mycotoxins is more common in warmer humid climates than in areas with a dry climate.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Champignons et myxomycètes
  • Culture des céréales
CONT

Les dommages causés par les mycètes comprennent une détérioration générale des grains, une perte de germination et de matière sèche, l'échauffement et la formation d'un goût et d'une odeur de moisi. Les mycètes thermophiles tolérantes à la chaleur peuvent faire monter les températures de la masse des grains au-delà des niveaux permettant la survie des insectes. Sur le plan médical, on tient le grain ou le foin moisi pour responsable de l'asthme du fermier. Dans des conditions favorables de température et d'humidité, certaines mycètes produisent des mycotoxines. Ces toxines sont la cause de différentes maladies animales, y compris les avortements, la diminution de la fertilité et un état de santé généralement déficient. Elles rendent également le grain impropre à la consommation humaine. La production de mycotoxines est plus courante dans les climats humides, plus chauds, que dans les climats secs.
