The Complete Protist Symbiont Communities of Coptotermes formosanus and Coptotermes gestroi: Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Five New Species

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2020
AbstractCoptotermes formosanus Shiraki and Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) (Blattoidea: Rhinotermitidae) are invasive subterranean termite pest species with a major global economic impact. However, the descriptions of the mutualistic protist communities harbored in their respective hindguts remain fragmentary. The C.

Evaluation of baiting fipronil-loaded silica nanocapsules against termite colonies in fields

Heliyon, 2019
Various pesticide nanocarriers have been developed. However, their pest-control applications remain limited in laboratories. Herein, we developed silica nanocapsules encapsulating fipronil (SNC) and their engineered form, poly(ethyleneimine)-coated SNC ...

Synergistic Bioconversion of Date Palm Leaves Into Ruminant Feed by a Leopard Moth (Zeuzera pyrina L.) Gut Bacterial Consortium and Nutrient Stimulators

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Treating date palm leaves with a bacterial consortium, especially when supplemented with glucose and urea, significantly degrades lignin. This process enhances nutritional value by increasing crude protein, digestibility, and metabolizable energy. The method effectively transforms this agricultural by‐product into a viable ruminant feed.

The Microbiome Within a Microbe: Rethinking Blastocystis Biology

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Blastocystis spp., one of the most prevalent microeukaryotes in the human gut, has long puzzled researchers with its ambiguous role in health and disease. Decades‐old microscopy studies reported bacterial‐ and viral‐like particles within Blastocystis spp. cells, but these findings have been mainly overlooked.

Individual Behavior of Workers of the Formosan Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) on Consecutive Days of Tunnel Construction

Insects, 2012
This study examines the individual behavior of workers of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shirkai, on two consecutive days of tunnel construction. In each trial, a group of 30 termite workers was observed continuously during the

Natural Pesticides in Crop Protection: Comparative Advantages, Ecological Risks, and Future Directions

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Although synthetic pesticides have long been used to protect crops, their widespread use has led to significant health and environmental problems, including ecological contamination, resistant pest populations, and hazardous residues in food. These restrictions have sparked interest in natural pesticides (NPs), particularly the secondary metabolites of

Comparative Expression Analysis of Olfactory Receptor Genes Among Individuals With Soldier and Worker Caste Differentiation Fates in Termites

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
We investigated the role of chemosensory gene expression in caste differentiation of the damp‐wood termite Zootermopsis nevadensis. Gene expression analyses revealed that third‐instar larvae destined to become workers exhibited significantly higher expression of key olfactory receptor genes in their antennae, suggesting that differences in chemosensory

Electromagnetic Waves as Non-destructive Method to Control Subterranean Termites Coptotermes Curvignathus Holmgren and Coptotermes Formosanus Shiraki

Procedia Environmental Sciences, 2013
AbstractThe objective of the study is to develop non destructive methods using electromagnetic waves apparatus to control subterranean termites Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren and Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki and to evaluate the safety of the apparatus to human. The frequency of electromagnetic waves used in this research were 30 Hz∼300 Hz, 0.3 KHz∼
