Repellent Effects of Annona Crude Seed Extract on the Asian Subterranean Termite Coptotermes gestroi Wasmann (Isoptera:Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]
Crude seed extract of three tropical fruits belonging to the family Annonaceae, viz., sweetsop (Annona squamosa L.), soursop (A. muricata L.) and biriba (Rollinia mucosa Baill.) were investigated for their repellent effects on the Asian subterranean ...

First report of Coptotermes gestroi in Italy and Europe
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 ...

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

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

Comparative Patterns of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Diversity in Termites Across Castes and Nesting Life Types. [PDF]
Cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profiles in termites show strong ecological structuring across life type, climate, and caste, based on a comparative analysis of published datasets. Despite this ecological signal, phylogenetic patterns are weak, indicating high evolutionary lability relative to other social insects.
