17‐epi‐Melianodiol, a new protolimonoid from Melia azedarach fruits, exhibits larvicidal activity and is associated with oxidative imbalance and midgut epithelial damage in Aedes aegypti larvae

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 9240-9248, September 2026.
The bio‐guided phytochemical study resulted in the new compound 17‐epi‐melianodiol. The compound eliminated 100% of Aedes aegypti larvae at 100 ppm, causing pronounced morphological changes, cuticular damage, and extensive vacuolization. Abstract BACKGROUND In Brazil, Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of arboviruses such as dengue, chikungunya ...

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 ...
