Synergistic and Antagonistic Effects of Chemical Pollutants and Parasitic Fungi on Cyanobacterial Metabolism

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freshwater ecosystems are increasingly impacted by anthropogenic pollutants, including the widely used herbicide metolachlor (MET) and cigarette butt (CB) litter. Parasites represent an additional biotic stressor that can modulate pollutant effects on their hosts.

Bio-insecticidal Potential of Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) Essential Oils on Smoke-dry Fish Against Weevils within Storage

Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology
This study aims to test the insecticidal effect of two Lemongrass Essential oils (EOs) on two weevils attacking smoke-dry fish within the storage. Fasting capacity, larvicidal and adulticidal properties of EOs on weevils, and the sensorial analysis of ...

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)

Insect Science, EarlyView.
As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

A preventive strategy for the control of aphids in sweet pepper using lacewings and micrococcinelid beetles

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Aphids pose a serious risk to horticultural crops. Current biocontrol strategies often fail due to the poor establishment of natural enemies when aphids are scarce. We evaluated the potential of two aphidophagous predators, Micromus variegatus and Scymnus interruptus, to be used as preventive biocontrol agents, released before aphid infestation.

Repurposing Synthetic Acetaminophen Derivatives Containing a Benzothiazole Scaffold as an Alternative Therapy for Infectious Diarrhea Caused by Drug-Resistant Shigella Species

Future Pharmacology
Diarrhea remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, especially among children. Accumulated evidence has shown that Shigella species are the most prevalent bacteria responsible for diarrhea in developing countries.

The shibirets4 mutation causes temperature sensitive paralytic and lethal phenotypes in the Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Bactrocera tryoni, the Queensland fruit fly, is among the most damaging insect pests to the Australian horticultural industry as larvae infest ripening fruits or vegetables prior to harvest. Genetic biocontrol using Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) programs have been used to successfully suppress populations, via mass release of factory‐reared ...

Trichogramma: a Promising Biocontrol Agent

International Journal of Economic Plants, 2023
Parasitoids that are able to remove the herbivore from the agroecosystem before larval eclosion are known as egg parasitoids. Mostly they belong to the Hymenopteran order which includes 15 families. Adult of Trichogramma spp. is 0.2-1.00 mm in size with body color pale yellow to brown color. Most of Trichogramma spp. finds their host through the direct

Sequence and expression analysis of potential spermatogenesis‐specific gene cognates in the Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a highly effective biologically‐based method for the suppression of many insect pest populations. SIT efficacy could be improved by methods of male sterilization that avoid the use of irradiation that can result in diminished fitness and mating competitiveness.
