Intergenomic arms races: detection of a nuclear rescue gene of male-killing in a ladybird. [PDF]
Many species of arthropod are infected by deleterious inherited micro-organisms. Typically these micro-organisms are inherited maternally. Consequently, some, particularly bacteria of the genus Wolbachia, employ a variety of strategies that favour female

Pest categorisation of <i>Coccus viridis</i>. [PDF]
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Coccus viridis (Hemiptera: Coccidae), the green coffee scale, for the territory of the European Union (EU), following the commodity risk assessment of Jasminum polyanthum from Uganda, in which C. viridis was identified as a pest of possible concern to the EU.

Pest risk assessment of <i>Leucinodes orbonalis</i> for the European Union. [PDF]
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a quantitative risk assessment of Leucinodes orbonalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), the eggplant fruit and shoot borer, for the EU. The assessment focused on potential pathways for entry, climatic conditions favouring establishment, spread and impact ...

Complete genome analysis of a novel picorna-like virus from a ladybird beetle (Cheilomenes sexmaculata) [PDF]
Abstract The ladybird beetle Cheilomenes sexmaculata (family Coccinellidae, order Coleoptera), is a common insect predator of agricultural pests. In this study, the full genome sequence of a novel picorna-like virus, temporarily named “Cheilomenes sexmaculata picorna-like virus 1” (CSPLV1), was identified from C. sexmaculata.
