The Use of Disabled Insecticidal Proteins (DIPs) to Investigate the Interaction Between Aedes aegypti-Active Toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis [PDF]
InsectsA variety of pesticidal proteins derived from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis exhibit activity against the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti and are used to control this insect vector.

Infection risk by oral contamination does not induce immune priming in the mealworm beetle (Tenebrio molitor) but triggers behavioral and physiological responses [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyIn invertebrates, immune priming is the ability of individuals to enhance their immune response based on prior immunological experiences. This adaptive-like immunity likely evolved due to the risk of repeated infections by parasites in the host’s natural

Interactions between Entomopathogenic Fungi and Entomopathogenic Nematodes
Microorganisms, 2023 Entomopathogenic fungi and entomopathogenic nematodes are globally distributed soil organisms capable of infecting and killing a vast variety of insects. Therefore, these organisms are frequently used as biocontrol agents in insect pest management. Both entomopathogenic fungi and nematodes share the soil environment and thus can infest and compete for ...

Entomopathogenic nematodes [PDF]
Current Biology, 2012 What are entomopathogenic nematodes? Nematodes seem to have evolved to occupy nearly every niche imaginable, including a wide diversity of parasitic niches. Among the vast variety of parasitic nematodes, some have evolved an association with insect-pathogenic bacteria. Together the bacteria and nematode are a lethal duo.
