Preservation technique to identify Bactrocera dorsalis complex (Diptera: Tephritidae) based on image analysis

Jurnal Entomologi Indonesia, 2022
Fruit flies (Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel)) are insect pests of many fruits and vegetables. Yield losses due to this pest can reach 100%, and many may be unaware that fruit flies are the trigger for several disease attacks on crops such as fungi and ...

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

Identification of broadly expressed nervous system‐related genes as effective RNAi targets in the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Broadly expressed genes outperformed brain‐enriched neural targets as RNAi candidates in Halyomorpha halys. Microinjection of dsRNA targeting alpha‐soluble NSF attachment protein (Asnap) or Ras opposite protein (Rop) caused strong feeding suppression and near‐complete mortality, identifying them as promising targets for future oral or spray‐based RNAi ...

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 ...

Enterobacter supplement and ambient conditions determine the performance of sterile male Mediterranean fruit flies

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Partial replacement of Brewer's yeast (protein source) with inactivated Enterobacter biomass during larval development enhanced mating competitiveness of sterile VIENNA 8 GSS males under outdoor field‐cage conditions. Sterile male mating performance was season‐dependent, with highest competitiveness in spring, intermediate in autumn and the lowest ...

Characterization of Domeless receptors and the role of BdDomeless3 in anti-symbiont-like virus defense in Bactrocera dorsalis

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
The Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway play a pivotal role in innate immunity. Among invertebrates, Domeless receptors serve as the key upstream regulators of this pathway.
