Injection but not ingestion of a mixed virus suspension in Queensland fruit fly (Bactrocera tryoni) shifts persistent covert infection to acute pathology

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Covert and persistent infections with multiple insect‐specific viruses are common in pest fruit flies and may affect pest management strategies. Our study investigated the host effects and viral loads of cripavirus and iflavirus as persistent infections in Queensland fruit fly, and after injection and ingestion of a mixed virus suspension containing ...

Living with the African Honey Bee

open access: yesEDIS, 2018
African honey bees and European honey bees are the same species of honey bee, but the two are classified as different subspecies or races of honey bee. African honey bee x European honey bee hybrids present an unpredictable combination of both subspecies‹ behavioral traits. This 4-page fact sheet written by J. D. Ellis and M.

Effects of lithium chloride on queen egg‐laying performance and worker honey bee behavior

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Chronic oral lithium chloride (LiCl) exposure effectively increases Varroa mite mortality without impairing queen egg laying or brood care behaviors, while significantly reducing worker bee aggression, suggesting its potential for safe Varroa management and mitigating colony aggression.

Pathogenicity of Serratia marcescens Strains in Honey Bees

open access: yesmBio, 2018
Although few honey bee diseases are known to be caused by bacteria, pathogens of adult worker bees may be underrecognized due to social immunity mechanisms. Specifically, infected adult bees typically abandon the hive or are removed by guards.

Susceptibility to cyflumetofen in populations of the citrus leprosis mite, Brevipalpus yothersi, from Brazilian citrus orchards

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Brevipalpus yothersi, the vector of citrus leprosis virus, showed high susceptibility to cyflumetofen. Its low resistance suggests it is effective, but should be rotated with other acaricides with different modes‐of‐action for sustainable management.

Dominance of African racial ancestry in honey bee colonies of Mexico 30 years after the migration of hybrids from South America

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications
The Africanized honey bee, a hybrid of Apis mellifera scutellata from Africa with European subspecies, has been considered an invasive species and a problem for beekeeping.

Strong Interspecific Differences in Foraging Activity Observed Between Honey Bees and Bumble Bees Using Miniaturized Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Central place foragers depart from and return to a central location with enough resources for themselves, and in many cases, for the group. Honey bees and bumble bees are eusocial central place foragers.

RNA degradomics and proteomics reveal the mechanism of dsProsβ1‐mediated proteasome targeting in Psylliodes chrysocephala

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
RNA degradomics revealed dsProsβ1‐derived siRNA‐mediated mRNA cleavage events, mainly at uracil‐guanine and adenine‐adenine pairs. Proteasome inhibition via dsProsβ1 increased mitochondrial and cytoskeletal proteins while reducing translation‐related and mRNA‐binding proteins.

Pesticide use in integrated pest and pollinator management framework to protect pollinator health

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1691-1696, April 2025.
Integrated pest management (IPM) emphasizes non‐chemical methods, with pesticides as a last resort, while integrated pest and pollinator management (IPPM) integrates pollinator health into pest control strategies. Abstract Agricultural pesticides have historically been a critical tool in controlling pests and diseases, preventing widespread suffering ...
