  • Neuropeptides and their use for pest control
    Patent number: 6884878
    Abstract: The present invention discloses novel pest control compounds comprising NPF polypeptides and methods for using such compounds in the control of pests.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 31, 2002
    Date of Patent: April 26, 2005
    Assignee: University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc.

  • Methods and compositions for the control of the flesh fly
    Patent number: 5501976
    Abstract: The subject invention concerns novel peptides which have the property of interfering with the biosynthesis of the enzyme trypsin and the biosynthesis of the hormone ecdysone. This property enables the use of these peptides to, for example, inhibit the formation of progeny in blood-ingesting insects, e.g., Neobellieria, since trypsin is an essential enzyme for food digestion which provides the essential building blocks for egg development in such insects.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 23, 1995
    Date of Patent: March 26, 1996
    Assignee: The University of Florida
    Inventors: Dov Borovsky, Arnold De Loof, Dany Bylemans
