Genomic Evolution and Patterns of Horizontal Gene Transfer in Coccomorpha Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study reveals the genomic adaptations of Coccoidea pests through comparative analysis of five chromosome‐level genomes. Key findings include whole‐genome duplication events, expansion of antioxidant‐related gene families, horizontal gene transfer for nutrient metabolism, and species‐specific detoxification mechanisms linked to pesticide resistance.

Characterizing brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys Stål, host plant usage and acceptability: Methodological strengths and shortcomings

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 5, Page 403-416, May 2025.
We compared three tools for assessing invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), host plant usage. Baited traps were deployed to measure populations in tree canopies but found no differences. We tagged insects to track their retention on fruit hosts using harmonic radar; peach and baited apple trees were ...

A Global Systematic Review on the Potential of Metal‐Based Nanoparticles in the Fight Against Mosquito Vectors

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Mosquito‐borne diseases, such as malaria, filariasis, dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and other viral infections, pose significant public health challenges worldwide. For many years, chemical insecticides were used in the form of indoor residual spraying (IRS) and insecticide‐treated nets (ITNs).

Commodity risk assessment of Petunia spp. and Calibrachoa spp. unrooted cuttings from Costa Rica

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to evaluate the probability of entry of pests (likelihood of pest freedom at entry), including both regulated and non‐regulated pests, associated with unrooted cuttings of the genera Petunia and Calibrachoa produced under physical isolation in Costa Rica.

High‐throughput molecular gut content analysis of aphids identifies plants relevant for potato virus Y epidemiology

Insect Science, Volume 31, Issue 5, Page 1489-1502, October 2024.
For the first time, high‐throughput molecular gut content analysis was used to characterize host use patterns of aphid vector species of potato virus Y (PVY). DNA was extracted from individual aphid vectors, PCRs were run using trnF and ITS2 primers, PCR products were sequenced using the Pacific Biosciences platform, and sequences were blasted on NCBI ...

Dietary experience alters predatory behavior of two ladybird species on tomato potato psyllid

Insect Science, Volume 31, Issue 5, Page 1579-1590, October 2024.
Past feeding experiences influence the predation behavior of two ladybirds on tomato potato psyllids. Abstract The tomato potato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli, is an invasive pest in Australia, which can cause severe economic loss in the production of Solanaceous crops. As an invasive pest, B.

Symbiont infection and psyllid haplotype influence phenotypic plasticity during host switching events

Ecological Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 719-733, October 2024.
Host acclimation and heterospecific host switching directly alter feeding behaviours of the potato psyllid Bactericera cockerelli underlying pathogen transmission Reduction in feeding efficiency is exacerbated by psyllid infection with the plant pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum Psyllid genotype is also an important factor, as the Central ...

Liberibacter, A Preemptive Bacterium: Apoptotic Response Repression in the Host Gut at the Early Infection to Facilitate Its Acquisition and Transmission

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
“Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum” (Lso) is a phloem-limited Gram-negative bacterium that infects crops worldwide. In North America, two haplotypes of Lso (LsoA and LsoB) are transmitted by the potato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli (Šulc), in a ...
