Silencing of two insulin receptor genes disrupts nymph-adult transition of alate brown citrus aphid [PDF]
, 2017 Insulin receptors play key roles in growth, development, and polymorphism in insects. Here, we report two insulin receptor genes (AcInR1 and AcInR2) from the brown citrus aphid, Aphis (Toxoptera) citricidus.

Expressed sequence tags analysis of Blattella germanica [PDF]
The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2005 Four hundred and sixty five randomly selected clones from a cDNA library of Blattella germanica were partially sequenced and searched using BLAST as a means of analyzing the transcribed sequences of its genome. A total of 363 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were generated from 465 clones after editing and trimming the vector and ambiguous sequences ...

Effects of myoinhibitory peptides on food intake in the German cockroach [PDF]
, 2017 Insect myoinhibitory peptides were discovered through their inhibitory activity on visceral muscle contraction. The present study tests the antimyotropic gut properties of three galanin-related myoinhibitory peptides (Mas-MIP II: GWQDLNSAW-NH2; Grb-AST ...

Reproduction and Development of Blattella asahinai (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae) [PDF]
Journal of Economic Entomology, 1991 The development of the Asian cockroach, Blattella asahinai Mizukubo, was studied under laboratory conditions. Immature development and adult longevity were 67.8 and 103.5 d for females and 65.7 and 48.5 d for males. Females produced an average of 3.7 oothecae, 64.6% of which were viable.
