Makemake nā pōpoki i ka catnip a i ʻole ka 'catpnip' - palu lākou iā ia me ka nau ʻana, ʻānai a ʻōwili ʻia ma luna. Ua ʻae nui ʻia e ka ʻepekema ʻepekema ʻo kēia mea kanu a me kāna hoa ʻĀsia, ʻo ke kumu waina kālā, he mau mea ʻona; No laila, ʻano kiʻekiʻe nā pua a hōʻike i nā ʻano ʻano ʻē. Eia nō naʻe, ua ʻike ʻia kahi noiʻi hou a ka poʻe hoʻonaʻauao Iapana i kahi kumu hou no nā holoholona hou e makemake nui i kēia mau mea kanu: pale lākou iā lākou mai nā pests. Ua paʻi ʻia nā hopena ma ka puke pai 'iScience'.
ʻO Masao Miyazaki, he kanaka noiʻi hana holoholona ma ke Kulanui ʻo Iwate, Iapana, a me ka mea kākau alakaʻi o ke aʻo ʻana ma ke ʻano he haumāna lāʻau holoholona, ua hoihoi koke ʻo ia i ka hoʻoulu ʻana o nā kemika, e like me nā pheromones, i nā ʻano kūlohelohe i nā holoholona hoa.
No laila he mea maʻamau ʻo ia e hoʻāʻo e ʻike hou aku e pili ana i ka hopena o nā pōpoki i ka catnip a me ka silvervine. "Ua laha loa ia i loko o ka mele kaulana 'Cats' aia kekahi mau hi'ohi'ona e 'ona ai kekahi pōpoki i kekahi me ka pauda catnip," wahi āna.
ʻO nā lau o nā mea kanu ʻelua, ʻaʻole pili maoli akā ua hoʻomohala i kekahi mau ʻano hoʻololi like, aia ka nepetalactol (i ka silvervine) a me ka nepetalactone (i loko o ka catnip), nā pūhui i kapa ʻia ʻo iridoids e pale ana i nā mea kanu mai nā pests. No ka nānā ʻana i ka hoʻokahe ʻia ʻana o kēia mau mea kemika e nā felines, ua hui pū ʻo ia me nā mea noiʻi ma ke Kulanui ʻo Nagoya. "ʻO ka ʻike ʻana i kēlā pōʻino kino i ke kumu waina kālā e nā pōpoki i hāpai i ka hoʻokuʻu koke ʻana o nā iridoids āpau, he 10 mau manawa kiʻekiʻe ma mua o nā lau paʻa," wahi a Miyazaki. ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o kēia mau lau nahu ke kumu e hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai kēia mau pūhui 'anti-plague'. A ʻo kēia mau lau pohō kekahi i hāpai i ka pane ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi; ʻo ia hoʻi, ua 'hoʻokomo ʻia lākou i kahi lōʻihi e pili ana me nā lau ʻino.
Ma nā haʻawina mua, ua hōʻike ʻo Miyazaki a me kāna hui i kā lākou pūhui e hoʻopau maikaʻi i nā makika tiger (Aedes albopictus). Ke hōʻoia nei kēia hana hou i ka wā e wāwahi ai nā pōpoki i nā mea kanu ma ka ʻōpala, kaʻa ʻana, ka palu ʻana a me ka nau ʻana, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā mea repellent.
Nā hoʻokolohua
No ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka hana ʻana o nā felines i kēia mau pūhui, ua hāʻawi ʻia nā pōpoki i nā kīʻaha i loaʻa ka nepetalactone maʻemaʻe a me ka nepetalactol. "Hōʻike nā pōpoki i ka pane like i ka iridoid cocktails a me nā mea kanu kūlohelohe koe wale nō ka nau ʻana," wahi a Miyazaki. "Lili lākou i nā kinikona ma ka pā palaka a hamo a ʻōwili ma luna."
ʻOiai i ka hoʻohana ʻia ʻana o nā mea hoʻohui like i nā kīʻaha a ua uhi ʻia kēia mau mea me ka plastic perforated me nā lua, ua hoʻāʻo nā pōpoki e hiki i kēia 'cocktail', ʻoiai ʻaʻole pili pono me ia. "ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻo ka nau ʻana a me ka nau ʻana he ʻano kūlohelohe i hoʻoulu ʻia e ka olfactory stimulation o nā iridoids," wahi a ka mea noiʻi.
ʻO ka hana hou aʻe, ʻo ia ka lohe ʻana i ka mea nona ke kuleana o ka hana ʻana o nā pōpoki i kēia i nehinei. "I ka wā e hiki mai ana e ho'āʻo mākou e pane i nā nīnau koʻikoʻi e like me ke kumu e pane ʻole ai kekahi mau pōpoki i kēia mau mea kanu ma ke ʻano like," i hoʻopau ai ʻo Miyazaki.
