Phytochemical Profile of Foeniculum vulgare Subsp. piperitum Essential Oils and Evaluation of Acaricidal Efficacy against Varroa destructor in Apis mellifera by In Vitro and Semi-Field Fumigation Tests

Veterinary Sciences, 2022
Varroatosis is an important parasitic disease of Apis mellifera caused by the mite Varroa destructor (V. destructor). The parasite is able to transmit numerous pathogens to honeybees which can lead to colony collapse.

Characterisation of Dermanyssus gallinae glutathione S-transferases and their potential as acaricide detoxification proteins

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) facilitate detoxification of drugs by catalysing the conjugation of the reduced glutathione (GSH) to electrophilic xenobiotic substrates and therefore have a function in multi-drug resistance.

The Discovery of Bifenazate, a Novel Carbazate Acaricide

CHIMIA, 2003
A history of the discovery of the novel carbazate acaricide, bifenazate, is outlined. When a novel ortho-biphenyl substituted hydrazide compound showed acaricidal activity in the pesticide discovery screen, a small number of analogs were made to

Can't outrun recurrence: Long‐term outcomes of treating American black bear sarcoptic mange

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing incidence of sarcoptic mange in American black bears (Ursus americanus) has become a concern for wildlife managers in the eastern United States. Inconsistency in the use of single and multi‐dose treatment approaches makes it difficult to evaluate their effects on post‐release outcomes of mange‐rehabilitated bears, which remain ...

Identification of broadly expressed nervous system‐related genes as effective RNAi targets in the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Broadly expressed genes outperformed brain‐enriched neural targets as RNAi candidates in Halyomorpha halys. Microinjection of dsRNA targeting alpha‐soluble NSF attachment protein (Asnap) or Ras opposite protein (Rop) caused strong feeding suppression and near‐complete mortality, identifying them as promising targets for future oral or spray‐based RNAi ...
