Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon in Raptors and Other Captive Birds at the National Zoological Garden in South Africa

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 203-213, January 2026.
Captive birds at the National Zoological Garden in South Africa harbor diverse haemosporidian parasite species and lineages. This might compromise conservation efforts of threatened species. ABSTRACT Avian haemosporidian infections have been associated with disease outbreaks in zoos and rehabilitation centers globally. This study aimed to determine the

Larvicidal Activity of Phytochemicals From Handroanthus impetiginosus Seeds Against Culex quinquefasciatus

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 12, December 2025.
The hexane extract was obtained from the seeds of H. impetiginosus, from which fatty acids and FAMEs were obtained. The three samples were tested on C. quinquefasciatus larvae, promoting mortality with moderate LC50 values. The hexane extract was analyzed by gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC‐MS), and the most abundant compounds were ethyl oleate (

Graphene oxide enhances aphid resistance in sorghum via the miR319‐SbTCP7‐SbLOX3 Pathway

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 8, Page 3164-3176, August 2025.
Summary The aphid (Melanaphis sacchari) has emerged as a formidable pest, devastating sorghum plants and highlighting the need for sustainable management strategies. Graphene oxide (GO), as a novel material, has garnered attention for its use in crop cultivation and management, but its effects on biotic stresses remain elusive. Here, we used 10 mg/L GO

Predicting Distribution of Aedes Aegypti and Culex Pipiens Complex, Potential Vectors of Rift Valley Fever Virus in Relation to Disease Epidemics in East Africa. [PDF]

, 2013
The East African region has experienced several Rift Valley fever (RVF) outbreaks since the 1930s. The objective of this study was to identify distributions of potential disease vectors in relation to disease epidemics.

Comparative transcriptomics reveals different profiles between diflubenzuron‐resistant and ‐susceptible phenotypes of the mosquito Culex pipiens

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 6, Page 3370-3377, June 2025.
Comparative gene expression analysis between susceptible and diflubenzuron‐resistant individuals of the mosquito Culex pipiens revealed transcriptional changes of multiple genes associated with insecticide detoxification and cuticle synthesis. Abstract Background Chitin‐synthesis inhibitors (CSIs) represent a major tool in vector control. The intensive

Cloning and characterization of 60S ribosomal protein L22 (RPL22) from Culex pipiens pallens [PDF]

, 2009
The 60S ribosomal protein L22 (GenBank accession no. EF990190) was cloned from Culex pipiens pallens. An open reading frame (ORF) of 447 bps was found to encode a putative 148 amino acids protein which shares 90% and 80% identity with RPL22 genes from ...

Strong resistance to β‐cyfluthrin in a strain of the beetle Alphitobius diaperinus: a de novo transcriptome analysis

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 209-226, February 2025.
An RNA‐Seq approach, enhanced by biochemical analyses, established that one of the main reasons for the high resistance to β‐cyfluthrin in an Alphitobius diaperinus strain comes from high basal activities for detoxification enzymes. Abstract The lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus, is an invasive tenebrionid beetle and a vector of pathogens. Due to

Comparative Proteomics of Resistant and Susceptible Strains of Frankliniella occidentalis to Abamectin

ELECTROPHORESIS, Volume 46, Issue 1-2, Page 112-126, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is an invasive agricultural pest with developed resistance to abamectin in some strains due to frequent treatment with the pesticide. In this study, we examined differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between abamectin‐resistant (AbaR; under abamectin selective ...

Wolbachia in the Culex pipiens group mosquitoes: introgression and superinfection. [PDF]

, 2009
Wolbachia bacteria in mosquitoes induce cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), where sperm from Wolbachia-infected males can produce inviable progeny. The wPip strain in the Culex pipiens group of mosquitoes produces a complexity of CI crossing types. Several
