Synthesis and Evaluation of Some Oxime Esters as New Attractants for Cockroaches

Abstract

Cockroaches are disease causing agents. They are known to be carriers of protozoan, bacterial, helminth and viral diseases (Pandey et al, 1994). A study by Fakoorziba, et al (2010), isolated twenty five (25) different species of medically important bacteria with 22 of them Gram negative bacteria from P. americana and B. germanica. It has been found that P. americana may also play a role in the transmission of E. tenella among chicken and between chicken flocks (Jarujareet et al, 2019).
