Integrated approach for assessing and mitigating antibiotic contamination in natural waters using bioaccumulation and phytoremediation

Environmental Sciences Europe
The increase in global antibiotic consumption has intensified the presence of these substances in aquatic ecosystems. Related to this, phytoremediation studies have gained prominence due to their high efficiency in mitigating the contamination of ...

Zebrafish as a model organism in One Health Toxicology: Impact of solvents and exposure routes on the toxicity of platinum anticancer drugs

Environment International
Zebrafish are widely used not only as a model in ecotoxicology but also to study the potential impact of chemicals on human health. Typically, zebrafish are exposed to chemicals dissolved in egg water or other defined media, which is the standard routine

The transformer gene controls sexual development in Drosophila suzukii

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The transformer gene plays a key role in the genetic pathway for sexual development in Drosophila suzukii Abstract The genetic network of sex determination in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster was investigated in great detail. Such knowledge not only advances our understanding of the evolution and regulation of sexual dimorphism in insects ...

Temperature effects on the hormetic response of Myzus persicae after sublethal exposure to insecticides

CABI Agriculture and Bioscience
Studies on insecticide-induced stimulatory effects in pest insects have become of utmost importance due to their potential implications in pest management. Temperature influences the physiology and biology of ectothermic organisms like pest insects.

Multilocus sequence typing of the invasive pest Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) and associated endosymbiont reveals unexplored diversity

Insect Science, EarlyView.
A multilocus sequence typing approach is proposed to explore Halymorpha halys genetic diversity, taking into consideration both insect nuclear markers and markers from the gut symbiont “Candidatus Pantoa carbekii.” Increased information was revealed regarding the number of distinct holobiont haplotypes in native and invasive populations of the pest ...

Genetic engineering for SIT application: a fruit fly‐focused review

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Sterile insect technique (SIT) has become a key component of efficient pest control. Fruit fly pests from the Drosophilidae and Tephritidae families pose a substantial and overwhelmingly increasing threat to the agricultural industry, aggravated by climate change and globalization among other contributors.
