Pyrethroid Resistance in Frankliniella intonsa From Inner Mongolia: Evidence for kdr Mutation and Metabolic Involvement

Entomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT To evaluate population‐specific susceptibility to pyrethroid insecticides, four field populations of Frankliniella intonsa collected from alfalfa fields in Inner Mongolia were assessed using ingestion and contact bioassays. Four pyrethroids—bifenthrin, cyfluthrin, cypermethrin, and deltamethrin—were tested.

Can a lizard ride on a housefly?: Navigating uncertainty and moral life in an Accra Zongo, Ghana

Ethos, Volume 54, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract How can uncertainty become a resource for ethical life rather than a threat to it? Focusing on a Zongo community in Accra, Ghana—also known as a “traveler's camp” or “stranger's quarters”—this article examines how people use a creative form of communication called the practice of folding to sustain relationships shaped by conditions of ...

Green Proteins: A Sustainable Alternative to Animal‐Based Proteins for Global Protein Security

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study highlights the drawbacks associated with animal‐based proteins, such as their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, large‐scale land use, and worsening food insecurity. It suggests that green sources of proteins, including legumes, grains, seeds, leaves, and algae, are possible sustainable alternatives. Shifting towards these plant‐based

Transmission of chlamydiae by the housefly. [PDF]

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1981
The ability of the housefly to carry viable Chlamydia trachomatis and to transmit a chlamydial ocular infection was studied under laboratory conditions. After feeding flies (Musca domestica) on suspensions of egg yolk sac infected with C. trachomatis serotypes A or B (responsible for hyperendemic trachoma) the agents were reisolated from flies ...

Houseflies harbor less diverse microbiota under laboratory conditions but maintain a consistent set of host-associated bacteria

Scientific Reports, 2022
The housefly (Musca domestica) is a wide-ranging insect, often associated with decaying matter from livestock and humans. The septic environments in which houseflies live are believed to be a rich source for microbial acquisition.

Conned by the enemy: the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae lures and kills Drosophila suzukii

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4595-4606, May 2026.
Highly pathogenic isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae attracted Drosophila suzukii. Identifying the responsible compounds for this attraction could help the development of these isolates for pest monitoring and overall pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii, commonly known as spotted wing drosophila (SWD), is a highly invasive and ...

Are Insects a Feasible Option or Just a Hyped Promise in Ruminant Nutrition? A Systematic Review of What Has Been Done and What Lies Ahead

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
Insects are emerging as sustainable alternatives for ruminants. This systematic review evaluates in vitro and in vivo evidence on insect‐based feeds in ruminant nutrition, discussing their outcomes and elucidating underlying mechanisms. Despite promising effects on rumen fermentation, growth, and product quality, inconsistencies related to insect ...
