Susceptibility of Phthorimaea absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) to novel and established insecticides in Brazil: resistance survey, baseline, and implications for management

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5662-5671, June 2026.
Baseline susceptibility of Phthorimaea absoluta to novel insecticides isocycloseram and tolfenpyrad was established in Brazil. Diagnostic doses were proposed for early resistance detection. Early tolfenpyrad tolerance and abamectin‐driven cross‐tolerance to isocycloseram via oxidases highlight cross‐resistance risks, emphasizing the need for routine ...

Effects of the novel acaricide acynonapyr on the calcium-activated potassium channel

Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology
Resistance to insecticides and acaricides is a major impediment to effectively controlling insect pests worldwide. These pests include the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae (T. urticae), which exists globally. This polyphagous herbivore causes major agricultural problems and can develop resistance to the agents above.

Tick‐Tac‐Foe: When Ticks, Trade, and Zoonotic Pathogens Align in African Wet Meat Markets

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Zoonotic diseases account for over ∼60% of infectious diseases and present a significantly growing fatality threat in Africa. Live and wet markets (LWMs) in Africa function as key economic venues that support human livelihoods through social interaction and trade in food stuff, including meat and other animal‐based products.

Risk Factors for Tick‐Borne Diseases in Germany: A Scoping Review

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 297-313, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne diseases (TBDs) have proliferated in Germany. The two most prevalent TBDs, Lyme‐borreliosis and tick‐borne encephalitis, can present with nonspecific symptoms and lead to serious neurological complications. To date, a review synthesising the risk factors of acquiring a TBD in Germany is missing.

Present and future potential of plant-derived products to control arthropods of veterinary and medical significance [PDF]

, 2014
The use of synthetic pesticides and repellents to target pests of veterinary and medical significance is becoming increasingly problematic. One alternative approach employs the bioactive attributes of plant-derived products (PDPs). These are particularly

Spider Mites: Genetic Models to Inform Herbivore and Chelicerate Biology

BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 5, May 2026.
Chelicerates include spiders, scorpions and ticks, and also spider mites that damage crops. Many of the features that make spider mites crop pests have facilitated their adoption as genetically tractable chelicerates. The expanding genetic toolkit developed using spider mites has potential to inform genetic studies in other chelicerates as well ...

The microimmersion bioassay: a novel method for measuring acaricidal activity and for characterising pesticide resistance in spider mites

, 1992
A novel and versatile method is described for measuring the contact activity of acaricides against spider mites. The microimmersion (MI) bioassay involves drawing batches of 25 mites into small pipette tips under vacuum, immersing them for 30 s in 35 mul
