When Winters Fail: How Warming Winters Fuel Pest Resurgence and Threaten Food Security

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata, Wiedemann; Diptera: Tephritidae), commonly known as the Medfly, re‐emerged in Mazandaran province, northern Iran—home to an estimated 25% of the nation's fruit crops and approximately 80% of its citrus production—following its apparent eradication in 1984, an outcome consistent with several ...

Grass species and climatic season impact on Rhipicephalus microplus temporal abundance in a tropical region

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8950-8962, September 2026.
The interaction between grass species and climatic season shapes the population dynamics of the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus microplus. This information highlights the potential of forage species to influence off‐host tick dynamics. Additionally, minimum temperature and minimum relative humidity were the most influential microclimatic predictors of ...

Entomopathogenic fungi, Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana reduce the survival of Xenopsylla brasiliensis larvae (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae). [PDF]

, 2012
Entomopathogenic fungi, particularly those belonging to the genera Metarhizium and Beauveria have shown great promise as arthropod vector control tools. These agents, however, have not been evaluated against flea vectors of plague.

Effect of some integrated control factors on controlling different stages of whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Aleyrodidae: Hemiptera) under laboratory conditions

Journal of Kerbala for Agricultural Sciences, 2023
The study aimed to use integrated control factors to control the life aspect of whitefly on crops and evaluate the efficiency of chemical and biological pesticides against pests. Chemical pesticides were sprayed on the leaves.

Dispersal and Repulsion of Entomopathogenic Nematodes to Prenol [PDF]

Biology, 2019
Chemosensory cues are crucial for entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs)—a guild of insect-killing parasitic nematodes that are used as biological control agents against a variety of agricultural pests. Dispersal is an essential element of the EPN life cycle in which newly developed infective juveniles (IJs) emerge and migrate away from a resource-depleted ...

Squash silverleaf disorder and whitefly (Bemisia tabaci MEAM1) infestation: Implications for plant disease management in a changing climate

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 2, September 2026.
Squash Silverleaf Disorder (SLD) is growing in its economic impact due to the invasive behaviour of the silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia tabaci MEAM1). In this review we summarize what is currently known about the whitefly‐squash interaction, how both the disease and the whitefly are being affected by climate change, and discuss current and novel ...

Diversity of the Microbiomes in the Larval and Adult Stages of the European Cherry Fruit Fly (Rhagoletis cerasi) and Identification of Potential Biocontrol Candidate Taxa

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 999-1010, September 2026.
First comprehensive characterization of the R. cerasi microbiome is reported. Stage‐specific variations in microbial composition are documented. Multiple bacterial entomopathogen taxa are identified as potential biocontrol candidates for R. cerasi.
