Fungal, not insect: Revisiting a misidentified Bemisia tabaci protein interacting with a begomovirus coat protein

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
A small heat‐shock protein (HSP16) previously reported as insect‐derived in Bemisia tabaci actually originates from a fungal species of the genus Wallemia. BLAST, genome survey and phylogenetic analyses support the fungal origin and clarify persistent misattribution in the literature.

Development of PCR, LAMP and HRM‐Based Molecular Species Diagnostic Tools for Identifying Four Agricultural Pests in the Genus Helicoverpa (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Within the subfamily Heliothinae, the genus Helicoverpa comprises several highly destructive agricultural pests, including H. armigera, H. assulta, H. punctigera and H. zea. These species cause significant global crop losses due to their wide host range, long‐distance migratory behaviour, and potential for interspecific hybridization.

Effect of Endophytic Fungi on Thrips tabaci Development and Population Dynamics

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi are promising biocontrol agents because they colonise healthy plant tissues asymptomatically while inducing systemic resistance that negatively affects herbivorous insects. We investigated whether treatments with the endophytes Trichoderma harzianum and Beauveria bassiana in two onion cultivars (Allium cepa L.; Sturon and Red ...

Investigating zeta‐cypermethrin resistance stability in California Drosophila suzukii populations

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6808-6816, July 2026.
After continuous selection and removal of selection pressure in spotted‐wing Drosophila, zeta‐cypermethrin resistance remained stable over several generations. Following a population bottleneck, zeta‐cypermethrin resistance increased without selection, highlighting the importance of insecticide rotation.

Rickettsiales in South America: A Systematic Review of Their Molecular Detection and Distribution in Arthropods and Vertebrates

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacteria of the order Rickettsiales comprise a diverse group of obligate intracellular microorganisms that are globally distributed and highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. In South America, these bacteria have been associated with arthropod vectors, such as ticks, fleas, mites, lice, and certain dipterans, as well as with a ...

Lebensdauer des räuberischen Marienkäfers Serangium parcesetosum Sicard (Col., Coccinellidae) mit natürlicher und künstlicher Nahrung

, 2008
The little known ladybird, Serangium parcesetosum SICARD (Col., Coccinellidae) seems to be an important predator of whiteflies. It has found attacking Bemisia tabaci (GENN.) (Hom., Aleyrodidae) (KAPADIA & PURI 1992), Aleurolobus barodensis MASK (PATEL et

The data set on vertical distribution pattern of Bemisia tabaci genn. (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) in several vegetable crops

Data in Brief, 2020
Bemisia tabaci is one of the main pests of vegetable crops in the tropics, including in Indonesia. The vertical distribution pattern of B. tabaci on investigated vegetable plants can be used to establish a sample observation unit in monitoring activities

Developmental expression of Ap‐Vas proteins in aphids and flies reveals their evolutionary roles in insects

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 217-231, June 2026.
Duplication of vas genes is universally observed in aphids, and phylogenetic analysis indicates that this event predates the divergence of Aphididae and Phylloxeridae. Ap‐vas1 is germline‐specific, whereas Ap‐vas2–4 exhibit somatic expression, indicating functional divergence during aphid embryogenesis.

Three Decades of China's Bt Cotton: Achievements and Insights

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4393-4414, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cotton is a vital natural fibre crop with significant economic value worldwide. In response to the threat of cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), the China government initiated a research project in 1992 to develop transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton.
