Selection of highly virulent entomopathogenic fungal isolates to control the greenhouse aphid species in Iraq

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2018
Aphids are one of the major insect pests of greenhouses and field crops worldwide. Several species of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF), including Lecanicillium spp.

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Life table and demographic parameters of the coccinellid predatory species, Hippodamia convergens Guérin-Méneville (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) when fed on two aphid species

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2020
The study aimed to determine the effect of two aphid species; Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach) and Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on life table and demographic parameters of Hippodamia convergens Gu`erin-M´eneville (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae).

Aphid adaptation to cucurbits: sugars, cucurbitacin and phloem structure in resistant and susceptible melons

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Aphis gossypii, a strictly phloemophagaous aphid, colonize hundreds of plant families, and a group of clones formed a cucurbit-specialised host-race.

Molecular Characterization of the Aphis gossypii Olfactory Receptor Gene Families

PLoS ONE, 2014
The cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, is a polyphagous pest that inflicts great damage to cotton yields worldwide. Antennal olfaction, which is extremely important for insect survival, mediates key behaviors such as host preference, mate choice, and oviposition site selection.

Towards an attract‐and‐reward strategy: evaluating nectar resources and HIPVs under laboratory conditions to enhance Aphelinus mali parasitism activity, a key parasitoid of Eriosoma lanigerum

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3955-3963, April 2026.
Euphorbia segetalis is a promising attractant insectary plant for Aphelinus mali. Meanwhile, Vicia faba and Vicia sativa are a promising nectar resource to sustain the parasitoid in early spring when the population of Eriosoma lanigerum is low, and honeydew is scarce.

Climate Change Can Generate Enemy‐Free Space for Crop‐Feeding Herbivores

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
Magnitude and direction of change in parasitoid pressure for 14 agricultural pests subject to climate‐driven distributional shifts. Pests are organized per increasing parasitoid pressure under current climatic conditions (X axis). Bubble size is reflective of the (absolute) area affected by a given pest under a given scenario.

Refuges and host shift pathways of host-specialized aphids Aphis gossypii [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractPolyphagous cotton-melon aphid populations usually comprise cotton- and cucurbit-specialized biotypes. Host-specialized aphids are prone to food shortages. Cucumber, the favourite food of cucurbit-specialized aphids, is usually absent during autumn and winter in Nanjing, China.

Gut Microbe‐Driven Resistance Mechanisms in Propylea Japonica: Insights from Horizontal Gene Transfer and Oxidative Phosphorylation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 11, 23 February 2026.
Acinetobacter regulates dinotefuran tolerance in Propylea japonica by mediating the expression of the horizontally transferred gene PjDUF1. Abstract Insect–microbial symbiont relationships are widespread in nature and often involve lateral gene transfer.
