Evaluating the potential of RNA interference for control of striped cucumber beetle, Acalymma vittatum (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3591-3602, April 2026.
SCB has a robust RNAi response to injected dsRNA, but oral RNAi is less efficient. Nucleases do not appear to be responsible for the discrepancy, suggesting other factors are involved. Abstract BACKGROUND The striped cucumber beetle (SCB) is a serious pest of cucurbit crops, causing damage both by feeding on plants and by vectoring plant diseases ...

Winter Losses of Honeybee Colonies (Hymenoptera: Apidae): The Role of Infestations With Aethina tumida (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) and Varroa destructor (Parasitiformes: Varroidae)

, 2010
Multiple infections of managed honeybee, Apis mellifera, colonies are inevitable due to the ubiquitous ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor and might be an underlying cause of winter losses.

Detecting a Small Hive Beetle's eDNA in Honeybee Colonies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 277-284, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Early detection is important to limit the spread of invasive species. Molecular diagnosis using eDNA can be useful in this regard, but the sensitivity is often unknown. This holds true for small hive beetles (SHB), which are parasites of honeybee (HB) colonies and continue to spread globally.

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.
