RNA interference of the ecdysone receptor gene AgEcR in a wolfberry ‐ specialized strain of Aphis gossypii Glover affects its survival and fecundity and confers resistance in transgenic goji (Lycium barbarum L.)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
AgEcR, an ecdysone receptor from Aphis gossypii, is an RNA interference (RNAi) target. Artificial diet screening of five double ‐ stranded RNA fragments identified dsAgEcR2 targeting the D/E junction as the most potent. Transgenic goji expressing dsAgEcR2 caused molting defects and reduced fecundity, suppressing population growth and offering a ...

Assessment of insecticide use practices in licensed pest control operators in North Carolina

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A statewide survey of 105 licensed North Carolina pesticide operators found ants, mosquitoes, and aphids as top target pests, pyrethroids as the dominant insecticide class (68%), and limited resistance monitoring, establishing a baseline for future insecticide resistance management and outreach.

Comparison of nonchemical, organic and synthetic Varroa destructor control strategies in honey bee colonies: effects on parasite load, colony strength and health

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Combining intensive drone‐brood removal with brood interruption provided the most effective and consistent seasonal Varroa control. Abstract BACKGROUND Varroa destructor remains the most significant biotic threat to honey bee colonies, and increasing resistance to synthetic acaricides necessitates alternative control strategies.

Automatic insect identification, counting, and monitoring techniques: a review

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Automated insect monitoring increasingly integrates optical, acoustic, infrared, radar, electrostatic, and biosensing technologies with artificial intelligence. No single approach is universally optimal; reliable deployment depends on task‐specific validation, representative datasets, robustness under field conditions, energy autonomy, connectivity ...

The potential global distribution of Drosophila suzukii, including consideration of irrigation and Australian host cropping areas

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This CLIMEX model of Drosophila suzukii fits the global distribution very well and includes irrigation effects. It indicates that D. suzukii could threaten all Australian berry and cherry production areas if introduced. Abstract BACKGROUND Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), is a major fruit fly pest of cherries and berries across ...

Prevalence and drivers of ectoparasite abundance on Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) in New York City residential complexes

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Norway rat ectoparasite burden varied by residential microhabitat, host traits, and trap type, showing that urban rodent management should address both rat burden and ectoparasite persistence in residential buildings. Abstract BACKGROUND Norway rats, Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout), can carry ectoparasites of public health importance.
