Detection of the A302S Rdl Mutation in Fipronil Bait-Selected Strains of the German Cockroach (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2013
Extensive usage and heavy reliance on insecticides have led to the development of insecticide resistance in the German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.). Six field-collected strains of B. germanica from Singapore were used to investigate resistance to fipronil and dieldrin.

Knowing the enemy: ant behavior and control in a pediatric hospital of Buenos Aires [PDF]

, 2014
Ant control is difficult in systems even where a variety of control strategies and compounds are allowed; in sensitive places such as hospitals, where there are often restrictions on the methods and toxicants to be applied, the challenge is even greater.

Leishmaniasis in Morocco: Epidemiology, Transmission Dynamics, and the Potential of Artificial Intelligence for Disease Management

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Leishmaniases 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 ...

Blocking pathogen transmission at the source: reservoir targeted OspA-based vaccines against Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

, 2014
Control strategies are especially challenging for microbial diseases caused by pathogens that persist in wildlife reservoirs and use arthropod vectors to cycle amongst those species. One of the most relevant illnesses that pose a direct human health risk

Efficacy of a fipronil bait in reducing the number of fleas (Oropsylla spp.) infesting wild black-tailed prairie dogs [PDF]

Journal of Vector Ecology, 2017
Bubonic plague (Yersinia pestis) is a deadly zoonosis with black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) as a reservoir host in the United States. Systemic insecticides are a promising means of controlling the vectors, Oropsylla spp. fleas, infesting these prairie dogs, subsequently disrupting the Y. pestis cycle.
