Evolving resistance patterns in Tetranychus urticae and Bemisia tabaci in Greece

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3544-3551, April 2026.
Greek populations of T. urticae and B. tabaci exhibit evolving multi‐resistance, confirmed by bioassays and molecular markers, highlighting the urgent need for evidence‐based resistance monitoring in IPM. Abstract BACKGROUND Pesticide resistance in agricultural pests remains a major barrier to effective and sustainable crop protection.

Evolution of Ivermectin Resistance in the Nematode Model Caenorhabditis elegans: Critical Influence of Population Size and Altered Emodepside Efficacy

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The emergence and spread of anthelmintic resistance represent a major challenge for treating parasitic nematodes, threatening mass‐drug administration control programs in humans and zoonotic hosts. Currently, experimental evidence to understand the influence of management (e.g., treatment dose and frequency) and parasite‐associated factors (e ...

Changes in mosquito species and blood meal composition associated with adulticide applications

Scientific Reports, 2023
AbstractAlthough adulticide application is a pillar in the integrated management of nuisance and vector mosquitoes, non-target effects of adulticide applications within ecosystems are a substantial concern. However, the impacts of adulticide applications on non-target organisms are not necessarily detrimental, and in some cases, may provide benefits to

Chemical Composition and Binary Combination Effect of Citrus sinensis (Rutaceae) and Callistemon rigidus (Myrtaceae) Essential Oils Against the Malarial Vector Anopheles gambiae s.l. (Diptera: Culicidae)

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Mosquito vector elimination using botanicals is recommended nowadays because they are biodegradable and less harmful to humans and nontarget organisms. In this context, binary combinations of Citrus sinensis and Callistemon rigidus essential oils were assayed against the larvae and adults of Anopheles gambiae in the laboratory.

Design and Evaluation of a Multicomponent Herbal Nanogel for Mosquito Repellency: An Integrated In Silico Experimental Approach Against Aedes aegypti and Anopheles stephensi

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study describes the development and characterization of a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)–based nanogel. The nanogel coencapsulates thymol, carvacrol, and cinnamaldehyde to enhance mosquito repellency. These phytochemicals were selected for their potential complementary and multimodal neurotoxic and olfactory‐disrupting effects.

Fumigant Toxicity of Essential Oils From Chemotypes of Curry Tree (Murraya koenigii) Against Adult African Malaria Mosquito (Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto)

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The toxicity of fumigant formulations of essential oils (EOs) from curry tree (Murraya koenigii (L.) Spreng (Rutaceae)) against African malaria adult mosquito (Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (Giles, 1902) (Diptera: Culicidae: Culicini)) was evaluated to identify most effective chemotype of the curry tree against the mosquitoes.
