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

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9870-9878, October 2026.
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 ...

Gut Microbiomes of Two Bamboo Locusts Reveal Divergent Metabolic Potentials

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We compared the gut microbiota of two bamboo‐feeding locust pests, Ceracris kiangsu and Ceracris nigricornis, using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing for six geographic populations of C. kiangsu and publicly available C. nigricornis datasets. Both species were dominated by Firmicutes and Proteobacteria, but showed significant differences in community ...

Effects of pupal hypoxia duration and holding temperature on quality control parameters of sterile Queensland fruit fly

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8382-8391, September 2026.
Queensland fruit fly pupae tolerate hypoxia up to 2 days without compromising quality. Prolonged hypoxia, especially at 25 °C, reduces emergence and flight ability. Storage at 18 °C is recommended. Abstract BACKGROUND The sterile insect technique is used to eradicate outbreaks of Queensland fruit fly (Q‐fly) Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) in fruit‐fly ...

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

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8132-8151, September 2026.
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‐

Host preference fruit flies Bactrocera carambolae (Drew & Hancock) and Bactrocera dorsalis (Drew and Hancock) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Jurnal Entomologi Indonesia, 2018
Host plant preference amongst several fruit species was studied for two fruit fly species i.e. Bactrocera carambolae (Drew & Hancock) and Bactrocera dorsalis (Drew & Hancock), which both belong to B. dorsalis species complex.

Squash silverleaf disorder and whitefly (Bemisia tabaci MEAM1) infestation: Implications for plant disease management in a changing climate

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 2, September 2026.
Squash Silverleaf Disorder (SLD) is growing in its economic impact due to the invasive behaviour of the silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia tabaci MEAM1). In this review we summarize what is currently known about the whitefly‐squash interaction, how both the disease and the whitefly are being affected by climate change, and discuss current and novel ...

Chromatic cues to trap the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis

Journal of Insect Physiology, 2007
Various colors have been used as visual cues to trap insect pests. For example, yellow traps for monitoring and control of the oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) have been in use for a very long time. However, the chromatic cue of using color traps has never been meticulously investigated.

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1805-1829, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.
