Preimaginal development of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) in brackish water gives rise to adult mosquitoes with thicker cuticles and greater insecticide resistance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...

Discovery of Chemosensory Genes in the Oriental Fruit Fly, Bactrocera dorsalis

PLOS ONE, 2015
The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis, is a devastating fruit fly pest in tropical and sub-tropical countries. Like other insects, this fly uses its chemosensory system to efficiently interact with its environment. However, our understanding of the molecular components comprising B. dorsalis chemosensory system is limited.

Variation in physiological host range in three strains of two species of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria [PDF]

, 2018
Knowledge of the host range of a biocontrol agent (BCA) is fundamental. Host range determines the BCA's economic potential, as well as the possible risk for non-target organisms. Entomopathogenic fungal strains belonging to the genus Beauveria are widely

Oviposition Activity of an Invasive Fruit Fly Species at Different Densities in Laboratory

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 1, Page 45-52, January 2026.
Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock, 1994 (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a major fruit fly pest affecting Brazil's international fruit trade due to phytosanitary restrictions. Although currently restricted to northern Brazil, little is known about its oviposition behavior. In this study, we investigated the daily oviposition pattern of B.

A transcriptional and functional analysis of heat hardening in two invasive fruit fly species, Bactrocera dorsalis and Bactrocera correcta

Evolutionary Applications, 2019
Many insects have the capacity to increase their resistance to high temperatures by undergoing heat hardening at nonlethal temperatures. Although this response is well established, its molecular underpinnings have only been investigated in a few species ...

Ecdysis triggering hormone signaling (ETH/ETHR-A) is required for the larva-larva Ecdysis in Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae) [PDF]

, 2017
Insects must undergo ecdysis for successful development and growth, and the ecdysis triggering hormone (ETH), released by the Inka cells, is a master hormone in this process. In this study, we determined the sequence of the ETH precursor and receptors in

Shortening the Black Soldier Fly Life Cycle by Temperature‐Driven Genetic Selection to Enhance Alternative Protein Production

eFood, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.
By selecting larvae for fast growth at 35°C, we obtained a new black soldier fly (BSF) strain with a faster life cycle and no fitness trade‐offs. This shows how selective breeding can improve BSF for large‐scale, sustainable production of insect protein. ABSTRACT In response to the growing demand for sustainable protein sources, insect mass rearing has

Alkaline–Acid Intestine Environment Controlled by A Carbonic Anhydrase Gene Influences Synthesis of Sex Pheromone by Symbionts

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 43, November 20, 2025.
A model proposing that elevated rectal expression of CAh1 in males alkalinizes the environment to regulate Bacillus production of a male‐specific sex pheromone. Abstract The intricate interplay between animals and their intestinal microbes is pivotal in shaping various aspects of animal biology.

Identification and Characterization of Sex-Biased MicroRNAs in Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel)

PLOS ONE, 2016
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous small non-coding RNAs that regulate various biological processes including sexual dimorphism. The oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis is one of the most destructive agricultural insect pests in many Asian countries.
