A high‐throughput and sensitive method for food preference assays in the argentine ant

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A high‐throughput and sensitive method for food preference assays in the Argentine ant. The dual feeder detects dispreference for food with low levels of an aversive compound (quinine) and preference for foods with higher levels of phagostimulants (sucrose).

The effects of human volatiles produced by skin microbiota on Forcipomyia (Lasiohelea) taiwana host preference

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Human skin volatiles influence midge behavior, with certain compounds acting as strong attractants or repellents. These odor differences are largely regulated by skin microbiota, offering insight into host preference mechanisms and potential for improved vector control. Abstract BACKGROUND Midges are widely distributed globally.

Immune priming of honey bees protects against a major microsporidian pathogen

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We immune‐primed honey bees at two developmental stages in the laboratory and the field with heat‐killed Nosema ceranae spores. When subsequently fed live spores, immune‐primed adults had lower infection levels. Abstract BACKGROUND Honey bees face significant threats from pathogens like Nosema ceranae, a microsporidian parasite that contributes to ...

Control of two sucking insect pests, a whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and a thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis), infesting hot peppers by spraying LDH‐formulated dsRNA

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A vacuolar type ATPase subunit B (vATPase‐B) gene is identified and expressed in the midgut of Bemisia tabaci and Frankliniella occidentalis. The double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) specific to vATPase‐B was expressed in hot peppers by virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) and killed both whitefly and thrips.
