Clinical manifestations and cross-reactions between cockroaches and termites and identification of termites' major allergens. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
The American cockroach (Periplaneta Americana, CRa A) is a strong risk factor for allergic sensitization and asthma morbidity. Molecular phylogenetic studies demonstrated termites are social cockroaches specialized in feeding on plant materials.

Comparison of Coptotermes formosanus and Coptotermes gestroi (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) Field Sites and Seasonal Foraging Activity in Hawaii

Sociobiology, 2014
Field surveys were carried out from January 2010 to June 2011 to record the environmental properties of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki and C. gestroi (Wasmann) (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) field sites on the island of Oahu, Hawaii; and to document ...

Trophic Path of Marked Exuviae Within Colonies of Coptotermes gestroi (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae). [PDF]

J Insect Sci, 2023
AbstractNitrogen, a limiting growth factor in wood-feeding insects, was hypothesized to play a role in the recently discovered behavior of subterranean termites returning to the nest to molt. Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) exuviae is approximately 11% N by dry weight, and therefore a potentially rich source of recyclable nitrogen.

A Glycoproteinaceous Secretion in the Seminal Vesicles of the Termite Coptotermes gestroi (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae). [PDF]

Insects, 2019
Coptotermes gestroi is a subterranean termite with colonies generally headed by a pair of primary reproductives, although neotenics may occur. In this study, the male reproductive system was compared during different life stages of nymphs, alates, neotenic reproductives, and kings of C.

The Coptotermes gestroi aldo-keto reductase: a multipurpose enzyme for biorefinery applications. [PDF]

Biotechnol Biofuels, 2017
In nature, termites can be considered as a model biological system for biofuel research based on their remarkable efficiency for lignocellulosic biomass conversion. Redox enzymes are of interest in second-generation ethanol production because they promote synergic enzymatic activity with classical hydrolases for lignocellulose saccharification and ...

The Breeding Pattern and Population Genetic Structure of Coptotermes gestroi (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) Population in Natural Woodland Habitats

Sociobiology, 2023
Microsatellite markers are suitable tools for assessing the population structure of eusocial species, especially those with a dynamic breeding system, such as the Asian subterranean termite Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae ...

Comparative analysis of adipokinetic hormones and their receptors in Blattodea reveals novel patterns of gene evolution

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 615-633, December 2023., 2023
Comprehensive analysis of adipokinetic hormone gene evolution in Blattodea. Discovery of a novel group of decapeptides that are unique to Blaberoidea. Adipokinetic hormone receptor genes broadly reflect accepted blattodean relationships. Abstract Adipokinetic hormone (AKH) is a neuropeptide produced in the insect corpora cardiaca that plays an ...

The Efficacy of Chlorantraniliprole as a Seed Treatment for Mythimna separata (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
The oriental armyworm (OAW), Mythimna separata (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is an important pest in China and causes serious economic losses in corn. The anthranilic diamide, chlorantraniliprole (CHL), has been widely used as a seed treatment to control corn pests; however, no information is available on the efficacy of this insecticide as a seed

Tyrosine hydroxylase immunostaining in the central complex of dicondylian insects

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 529, Issue 12, Page 3131-3154, August 2021., 2021
The central complex is an insect brain area controlling spatial orientation. Immunolabeling in 20 species ranging from firebrats to flies shows that the cellular distribution of the dopamine‐synthesizing enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase in the central complex is largely conserved but reveals additional novel cell types in flies and water striders.
