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

In Silico Screening of Plant-Derived Termiticidal Compounds Targeting Cytochrome P450 in Coptotermes spp. (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) for Sustainable Termite Management [PDF]
PlantsTermites of the genus Coptotermes are among the most destructive structural pests worldwide, owing to their efficient lignocellulose degradation and metabolic adaptability mediated in part by cytochrome P450 enzymes. Although numerous botanical compounds

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.

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.
