The use of essential oils is a very promising alternative in the control of monogenous worms in tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum), however there are few studies on the antihelmintic activity of oils in these ectoparasites, considering the great diversity of bioactive substances they have. This study aims to establish strategies in vitro and in vivo (therapeutic baths) for monogenesis control in tambaqui using essential oil of Cymbopogom citratus (lemongrass or lemongrass), Lippia grata (Rosemary-d

This project aims to increase the adoption of fruit fly management practices for agricultural communities in Uganda, a country on the African continent. The proposal came about due to the observance of damage and economic losses in orchards in Uganda, caused by fruit flies, especially Bactrocera dorsalis, which stems from the low use of efficient management techniques. Although the infestation is lower in farmers' orchards that use management techniques such as toxic baits, methyl euge

The project consists of studying the parasitic communities of fish species such as catfish and scales fish in the Amazon River system. The main points of analysis are the description of these parasitic communities, description of new species and checking whether the size of the host fish has an influence on the abundance of these parasites, their diversity, seasonal variation and their dispersion in the fish. The parasitic communities of different species of fish will be compared, as well as
