Stray dogs, foxes and rodents contribute to serious health problems in human societies
around the world. Before any necessary interventions to control them, an accurate estimate of
their populations should be attained. This study investigates the population dynamics of dogs,
foxes, and rodents in the western desert regions at Kalabsha, Umbaraka, Ra...
Background: The Egyption fruit bat, Rousettus aegyptiacus, is considered a harmful pest that attacks agricultural crops, especially ripe fruits, causing economic losses. It is widespread in African sahara desert, Egypt, Pakistan and Northern India. This pest causes damage to many vegetables and fruits. The measuring of damage percentage will aid in...
Bird damage is a serious problem for the agricultural sector in Egypt, it causes great economic losses by attacking various crops and fruit. Thus, there is an urgent need for accurate damage assessment, which supports any research efforts to reduce that damage. The goals of this study were to measure the use of traditional bird deterrent practices...
Characterizing the breeding ecology of birds is important for understanding their population dynamics. One of the most common small resident birds in Egypt that acts as a biocontrol agent of insects is Graceful Prinia (Prinia gracilis). Despite its importance, there are few studies on its breeding ecology in Egypt. Accordingly, this study is the fi...

Crows of birds are wide world, with some harmful
environmental effects. It was recorded in many Governorates of
Egypt, attacking plants and animals production causing visible
losses. This study was conducted at Al-Saff district, Giza
Governorate to survey species and their numbers in different
habitats during 2018-2020 and how to control them with...
About 470 bird species known from Egypt. The majority are non-breeding migrants, passing through the country, exploiting the wide range of habitat types unique for their life, including agricultural habitats. A survey of wild bird carried out in three agricultural districts, El-Badrasheen, El-Aayyat and El-Hawamdiah districts, in Giza Governorate,...
odent survey and damage of wheat tillers were done, at different growing stages, in three locations within Sohag Governorate, Egypt. The Norway rat, Rattus norvegicus, was the common species with 434 individuals, followed by Rattus rattus, with showing 348 individuals, while the Arvicunthus niloticus was 138 individuals. Maximum damage was recorded...
Survey, diversity and infestation rate of mites associated with five wild birds (Passer domestica niloticus, Columba livia, Streptopelia Senegalensis aegyptiaca , Pycnonotus barbatus and Corvus cornix) were carried out during two successive years in upper and lower Egypt provinces. The obtained data was recorded high numbers house sparrow, P. domes...

Survey of the wild vertebrates at twenty-nine locations in Kharga and Dakhla Oases were carried out during 2014-2018, inclusive. Thirty-five common species were
recorded. There was one reptile, the Horned Viper. There were twenty-two birds representing twelve orders: eight are common resident species, and the rest are migrants. There were twelve m...
his paper present information on the population density, depredation and control of hooded crow (Corvus corone) in sheep farm at Ras-sedr, South Sinai, Egypt. The population of hooded crow increased through spring and summer seasons with a peak during June with mean 29.5 individuals, while the lowest recorded during January with 9.5 individuals, wh...
Rodent damage assayed in date palm and orange trees in different locations at El- Wady El- Gadid Governorate (El-Kharga, El-Dakhla, Gharb El-Mawhob and El–Farafra) as new reclaimed lands. In addition, two control methods were studied i.e. chemical control (zinc phosphide and diphacinone anticoagulant bait) and mechanical control (Aluminum sheet rol...
The journal of Toxicology and pest control is one of the series issued twice by the Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, and is devoted to publication of original papers related to the interaction between insects and their environment. The goal of the journal is to advance the scientific understanding of mechanisms of toxicity. Emphasi...
