Advances in mosquito repellents: effectiveness of citronellal derivatives in laboratory and field trials

Pest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 12, Page 5106-5112, December 2022., 2022
The mixture of hydroxylated cyclic acetals, obtained from condensation of citronellal with glycerol, was tested for its repellency against mosquitoes and showed a longer‐lasting protection in comparison to DEET. Abstract BACKGROUND Several essential oils, including citronella (lemongrass, Cymbopogon sp., Poaceae), are well‐known mosquito repellents.

A review on invasive false indigo bush (Amorpha fruticosa L.): Nuisance plant with multiple benefits

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022
Amorpha fruticosa L. represents an invasive plant causing a nuisance and degrading native biodiversity on a variety of wet and mesic habitats throughout the Northern Hemisphere. On the other hand, the plant species possesses numerous beneficial applications including phytochemical and biocoenotic uses, as well as ecosystem services.

Cloning and overexpression of transferrin gene from cypermethrin-resistant Culex pipiens pallens [PDF]

Parasitology Research, 2011
The complete sequence of transferrin has been cloned from cypermethrin-resistant strain of Culex pipiens pallens(Cr-C strain). Quantitative reverse transcription PCR analysis indicated that the transferrin transcription level was 12.6 times higher in Cr-C strain than in susceptible strain at fourth instar larvae.

Effects of anti‐Leishmania compounds in the behavior of the sand fly vector Lutzomyia longipalpis

Pest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 7, Page 2792-2805, July 2022., 2022
Sugar baits can be used to block the development of Leishmania parasites inside the gut of the vector, adult female sand flies. In this work, we screened a series of synthetic compounds and showed that three of them are suitable for the future development of baits targeting the Leishmania parasites inside the sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis.

Development of an environmentally friendly nanoemulsion based on Ginkgo biloba exocarp extracts to control Plutella xylostella

Micro &Nano Letters, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 42-48, 5 February 2022., 2022
Abstract The chemical compositions of Ginkgo biloba exocarp extracts (GBEE) and leaf extracts are similar, however, studies describing the development of GBEE biopesticides are few. In this study, the authors investigated the preparation of GBEE nanoemulsionand and characterized by transmittance, physical stability, droplet size and size distribution ...

Differences in the intestinal microbiota between insecticide‐resistant and ‐sensitive Aedes albopictus based on full‐length 16S rRNA sequencing

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 10, Issue 2, April 2021., 2021
In this study, we used third‐generation sequencing technology to determine the full‐length of 16S rRNA and to analyze the differences in the intestinal symbionts between deltamethrin‐resistant and sensitive Aedes albopictus. Significant differences in diversity and abundance have been found.

Vectors, Hosts, and the Possible Risk Factors Associated with Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a disease caused by infection with the SFTS virus (SFTSV). SFTS has become a crucial public health concern because of the heavy burden, lack of vaccines, effective therapies, and high‐fatality rate.

Cloning and characterization of prophenoloxidase A3 (proPOA3) from Culex pipiens pallens [PDF]

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2012
The prophenoloxidase subunit A3 (proPOA3) gene was cloned from Culex pipiens pallens, which had an open reading frame of 2061 bp encoding a putative 686 amino acid protein. The deduced amino acid sequence shares 98% with proPOA3 from Culex quinquefasciatus. ProPOA3 is expressed at all developmental stages of C. pipiens pallens.
