Modeling platform to assess the effectiveness of single and integrated Ixodes scapularis tick control methods [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Lyme disease continues to expand in Canada and the USA and no single intervention is likely to curb the epidemic. Methods We propose a platform to quantitatively assess the effectiveness of a subset of Ixodes scapularis tick management ...

Rapid Elimination of German Cockroach, Blatella germanica, by Fipronil and Imidacloprid Gel Baits
Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2008 Background: Baits have become popular and effective formulations against urban insect pests. Compared with residual sprays toxic gel baits are used more and more frequently to control urban cockroach populations. The aim of this study was to investigate

Ecological and Epidemiological Consequences of Tick-Control Interventions in Residential Neighborhoods: A Synthesis of The Tick Project. [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisControlling populations of Ixodes ticks has emerged as a core strategy for reducing human exposure to tick‐borne infections. Several means of reducing the size of the tick population using chemical and biological acaricides show promise in field trials and are frequently used commercially in North America and Europe.

Understanding Stress Response in Superorganisms: A Multi-Level and Cybernetic Approach. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAll multicellular organisms have a nested stress response system, and understanding how stress effects propagate across biological levels is key to predicting their impact on the organism or superorganism. Superorganisms, like honeybee and ant colonies, represent good models to study stress response systems across different levels of biological ...

Fipronil-infused sodium polyacrylate gels provide effective management of Argentine ants in conservation areas. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciThe current study evaluated the potential of sodium polyacrylate (ACR) hydrogels to effectively deliver liquid baits to Argentine ants. Laboratory and field trials demonstrated that: (i) fipronil is highly effective for Argentine ant control in natural areas when used in low concentrations (0.005%); (ii) ACR hydrogels are an effective tool for ...

Field trial on the control effect of fipronil bait against German cockroaches. [PDF]
Korean J Parasitol, 2006 A field trial on the control effect of fipronil poison bait against German cockroaches (Blatella germanica) was carried out at different restaurant types in Sinchon, Seoul, Republic of Korea. Monitoring was performed applying food baited traps for 2 days per week.

Leishmaniasis in Morocco: Epidemiology, Transmission Dynamics, and the Potential of Artificial Intelligence for Disease Management. [PDF]
J Parasitol ResLeishmaniases are neglected tropical diseases caused by Leishmania parasites and transmitted by infected phlebotomine sand flies, and they remain a major public health challenge in Morocco. The burden is dominated by cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) and visceral leishmaniasis (VL), mainly associated with Leishmania major, Leishmania tropica, and L ...

Mechanism of leaf‐cutting ant colony suppression by fipronil used in attractive toxic baits [PDF]
Pest Management Science, 2016 AbstractBACKGROUNDAttractive toxic baits are the prevailing method for managing leaf‐cutting ants in the eucalypt forests planted for the production of pulp, paper, timber and charcoal. For successful use in these baits, the insecticidal compounds need to circumvent the typical defences of the eusocial leaf‐cutting ants.

Lethal and sublethal toxicity of Fipronil and Imidacloprid on Psyttalia concolor (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). [PDF]
, 2011 Psyttalia concolor (Szèpligeti) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a koinobiont endoparasitoid of several species of tephritid (Diptera) larvae, such as Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) and Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann).

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 11, Page 4328-4334, November 2023., 2023 The baseline susceptibility of Haemaphysalis longicornis to organophosphate, carbamate and pyrethroid acaricides was calculated using a larval package approach. Results indicate that the Asian longhorned tick is susceptible to pyrethroids, coumaphos and carbamates, and should also be effective for controlling H. longicornis.
