Collaborative Response of the Host and Symbiotic Lignocellulytic System to Non-Lethal Toxic Stress in Coptotermes formosanus Skiraki [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Disturbing the lignocellulose digestive system of termites is considered to be a promising approach for termite control. The research on the tolerance mechanism of the termite lignocellulose digestive system to harmful environment conditions is limited ...

Genome Sequences of Microviruses Associated with Coptotermes formosanus. [PDF]
Microbiol Resour Announc, 2019 Termites have a unique ability to effectively digest lignocellulose with the help of mutualistic symbionts. While gut bacteria and protozoa have been relatively well characterized in termites, the virome remains largely unexplored.

A New Synonymy of Coptotermes formosanus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)
Sociobiology, 2014 The taxonomy of the genus Coptotermes is far from settled in the world, especially in China. Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki had been described or misidentified as several different species in China based on measurement characteristics. In this paper, the

miR-701 modulates the humoral immune response of Coptotermes formosanus against Metarhizium anisopliae. [PDF]
Insect ScimiR‐701 targets immune gene Toll4 to inhibit termite cellular immunity. miR‐701 overexpression increases termite mortality during fungal infection. miR‐701 suppresses termite cellular immune to fungi by inhibiting the Toll signaling pathway. Abstract Termites are not only social insects but also significant global insect pests.

Screening of reference genes for expression analysis in the study of soldier caste differentiation of Formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, is a serious pest worldwide. Juvenile hormone analog (and its analogs such as methoprene) can induce the transformation of the worker caste into soldier caste in C. formosanus.
