Morphology of the sternal gland in workers of Coptotermes gestroi (Isoptera, Rhinotermitidae)

Micron, 2006
The sternal gland is considered the only source of trail pheromones in termites. The morphology of the sternal gland was investigated in workers of Coptotermes gestroi using transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed a small bilobed gland at the anterior part of the fifth abdominal sternite.

Foraging Populations of Coptotermes gestroi (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in an Urban Area

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1996
Three field colonies of the Thai subterranean termite coptotermes gestroi Wasmann in an urban area of Bangkok, Thailand, were selected to estimate the foraging populations, using the triple mark-recapture procedure. The foraging populations ranged from 1.13 to 2.75 x 10 6 per colony.

First report of Coptotermes gestroi in Italy and Europe

2011
The first finding of Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) (Isoptera Rhinotermitidae) in Italy and Europe is here reported. Termites were found on a yacht docked in a boatyard in Riposto (Catania, Sicily) for extraordinary repairs. Because C. gestroi and other Coptotermes species are known as serious pests, particular attention should be paid to the timely ...

Record of a gregarine (Apicomplexa: Neogregarinida) in the abdomen of the termite Coptotermes gestroi (Isoptera, Rhinotermitidae)

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2008
Coptotermes gestroi is an exotic species of termite that is a pest of great economical importance in Brazil. This paper relates the occurrence of a coelomic gregarine (Apicomplexa: Neogregarinida) in the abdomen of the foraging workers recently collected from field colonies of this termite. The termite hosts presented large, white abdomens because they

Rehydration After Water Stress in Forager Workers of Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) (Blattaria: Rhinotermitidae)

Neotropical Entomology, 2015
Water maintenance is vital for termite survival under dry conditions, hence environment humidity is one of the most important factors that controls the distribution of Isoptera. To understand the dynamics of termite rehydration after water loss, two bioassays were performed with forager workers of Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) submitted to water stress.

Deciphering the synergism of endogenous glycoside hydrolase families 1 and 9 from Coptotermes gestroi

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2013
Termites can degrade up to 90% of the lignocellulose they ingest using a repertoire of endogenous and symbiotic degrading enzymes. Termites have been shown to secrete two main glycoside hydrolases, which are GH1 (EC 3.2.1.21) and GH9 (EC 3.2.1.4) members.
