The aim of this survey was to evaluate the information of the public health issues resulting from the presence of these pests in urban environments. The survey was conducted in various parts of the capital city attended by 200 respondents. Interviewees were selected at random method older than 18 years of both sexes and included family members, employees of food industries and students. The data obtained showed that 98% of the interviewees’ people were able to identify insects as a result of their presence at work or residential settlement, 77% of the respondents considered as annoying insects. About 50% regarded as "dirty insects" implying the possibility of transmission of diseases and only 2% of the respondents claimed that the presence of Blatta orientalis and Blattella germanica in residential settlement or works places constitutes a health risk. The data obtained from our survey show that the level of information to residents of urban areas in Tirana is not at the appropriate levels compared with the presence of the majority of these insects in urban areas and suggests that we should work more on education and awareness of residents.

The present review describes the status of rhizosphere of agricultural plants where microbial community play important role by interacting with each other and also with the plants. Plant roots release various substances which provide suitable environment for the colonization of microorganisms around rhizosphere. Beneficial and harmful microorganisms for the growth of plants effect on the growth of the plants has been critically analysed whereas this review gives more emphasis of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and benefit achieved to plants. N2 fixation, IAA production, P solubilisation, siderophore production and ACC deaminase activity by the rhizobacteria provide better conditions for the plants growth; therefore, these bacteria are popularly known as plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPR).
