Comparison of the potential activities of viral and bacterial chitinases

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2021
Background Chitin, a long-chain polymer of N-acetylglucosamine, is a major structural component of the insect exoskeleton and the peritrophic membrane (PM). Chitinases are able to effectively break down glycosidic bonds of chitin polymer thus can be used

Caffeic Acid and Biopesticides Interactions for the Control of Storage Beetles

Applied Biosciences, 2023
Infestations of stored-product pests cause significant losses of agricultural produce every year. Despite various environmental and health risks, chemical insecticides are now a ready-to-use solution for pest control.

Resource quality determines the evolution of resistance and its genetic basis

Molecular Ecology, Volume 29, Issue 21, Page 4128-4142, November 2020., 2020
Abstract Parasites impose strong selection on their hosts, but the level of any evolved resistance may be constrained by the availability of resources. However, studies identifying the genomic basis of such resource‐mediated selection are rare, particularly in nonmodel organisms.

A comparison of the EU and US regulatory frameworks for the active substance registration of microbial biological control agents

Pest Management Science, Volume 75, Issue 1, Page 87-103, January 2019., 2019
This article compares the regulation of microbial biopesticide registration in the European Union (EU) and the USA, discussing regulatory differences and resulting obstacles. EU registration takes substantially longer, lagging mostly at the national level.

Update of the list of QPS‐recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 7: suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2017

EFSA Journal, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2018., 2018
Abstract The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) concept was developed to provide a harmonised generic pre‐evaluation to support safety risk assessments of biological agents performed by EFSA's scientific Panels. The identity, body of knowledge, safety concerns and antimicrobial resistance of valid taxonomic units were assessed.

Baculovirus: Molecular Insights on Their Diversity and Conservation

International Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
The Baculoviridae is a large group of insect viruses containing circular double‐stranded DNA genomes of 80 to 180 kbp. In this study, genome sequences from 57 baculoviruses were analyzed to reevaluate the number and identity of core genes and to understand the distribution of the remaining coding sequences.

Type V: A sex-linked crossed resistance to three Cydia pomonella granulovirus isolates, with different levels of dominance

Biological Control
The codling moth (Cydia pomonella), is known to be resistant to many (bio)insecticides, including the Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV). Of the multiple isolates available on the European market, two are already known to have selected resistance: Type ...
