Appl. No.:

9/216513

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture - Washington DC

International Classification:

A01G 1310

US Classification:

43108

Abstract:

The system and method for preventing the passage of crawling insects upon the exterior surface of an object includes a member having an inner surface, adapted to be disposed adjacent to the exterior surface of the object, an opposed outer surface that has a low coefficient of friction for preventing the insects from traversing the outer surface since the crawling insects are unable to obtain sufficient traction with the outer surface of the member, a means for affixing the member to the exterior surface of the object so that the insects are forced to attempt to traverse the outer surface of the member in order to reach the exterior surface of the object above the member.

US Patent:

Filed:

Jan 22, 1991

Appl. No.:

7/645087

Inventors:

Dov Borovsky - Vero Beach FL
David A. Carlson - Gainesville FL

Assignee:

University of Florida - Gainesville FL
The United States of America as represented by the Department of
Agriculture - Washington DC

International Classification:

C12N 1563
C12V 1516

US Classification:

4353201

Abstract:

The subject invention concerns three novel peptides which have the property of interfering with the biosynthesis of the enzyme trypsin in an insect gut. This property enables the use of these peptides to inhibit the formation of progeny in blood-ingesting insects, since trypsin is an essential enzyme for food digestion which provides the essential building blocks for egg development in such insects.
