Preimaginal development of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) in brackish water gives rise to adult mosquitoes with thicker cuticles and greater insecticide resistance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...

A household model of German cockroach infestations and their effects on symptoms of atopic asthma

Letters in Biomathematics, 2019
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition which affects 25 million people in the United States. Improper extermination of cockroaches and their associated allergens significantly increases the occurrence of atopic asthma, a type of asthma stemming from ...

Geographic Classification of Social Bees Using Automated Wing Pattern Analysis

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 10, Page 1250-1267, October 2026.
We present an end‐to‐end deep learning framework for automated geographic classification of honey bee populations based on wing morphology. A dataset of 1040 wing images from seven regions was analyzed using four CNN architectures with transfer learning.

Development and Optimization of a Nanoparticle-Based Imidacloprid Insecticide for Effective Control of Blattella germanica

Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases
Background: The German cockroach (Blattella germanica) is a pest with a global distribution that has adapted to live in human environments. Blattella germanica threatens human health by producing asthma-inducing allergens, carrying pathogenic/antibiotic-

Unspecific Peroxygenase‐Based Chemo‐Enzymatic Synthesis of Amino Alcohols for Pharmaceutical Preparation

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
The conversion of amines using nonspecific peroxygenases has always presented a challenge. The use of specific protecting groups, combined with the integration of enzymatic catalysis into conventional chemical methods, opens up new possibilities for the direct and enantioselective synthesis of valuable pharmaceuticals in an innovative, cost‐effective ...

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2298-2314, September 2026.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

On the Larval Sensory Organs and Central Nervous System of the Zoea 1 of the Asian Shore Crab Hemigrapsus sanguineus (Decapoda, Brachyura)

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 9, September 2026.
We provide a description of the morphology of selected sensory organs and of the central nervous system in the Zoea 1 of the Asian shore crab Hemigrapsus sanguineus using multiple neuroanatomical methods. Our data reveal well‐developed visual and olfactory organs and complex primary sensory neuropils related to processing this input.
