Use of Electric Discharge for Simultaneous Control of Weeds and Houseflies Emerging from Soil

Insects, 2020
An electrostatic apparatus was developed to control weeds and houseflies emerging from ground soil in a greenhouse simultaneously. Identical iron plates were placed in parallel at a defined interval and fixed in an iron frame.

Beneficial Bacteria in the Intestines of Housefly Larvae Promote Larval Development and Humoral Phenoloxidase Activity, While Harmful Bacteria do the Opposite

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
The gut microenvironment of houseflies provides unique conditions for microbial colonization. Some gut microorganisms provide benefits for the development of the host by regulating the interaction between the host and intestinal pathogens.

Body Water-Mediated Conductivity Actualizes the Insect-Control Functions of Electric Fields in Houseflies

Insects, 2020
In the present study, the relationship between body water loss and conductivity was examined in adult houseflies (Musca domestica). The events an insect experiences in an electric field are caused by the conductive nature of the insect body (i.e ...

Bioorthogonal Tools for Ethanolamine Lipids and Protein Conjugates

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
An alkyne‐tagged ethanolamine analog (AlkEA) enables bioorthogonal, metabolic labeling of endogenous phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and its protein modifications. AlkEA is incorporated into PE via the Kennedy pathway, allowing CuAAC‐based visualization of PE and affinity capture of PE‐conjugated LC3, ubiquitin, and GPI‐anchored proteins.

Synergistic transition from type‐I‐like to type‐II‐like symptomology in a pyrethroid mixture and its impact on knockdown–mortality relationships in Musca domestica L

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
In the present study, relationship between knockdown and mortality of insecticides was examined against the adult female housefly, Musca domestica. Type‐I pyrethroid insecticides showed a weak linkage, as early knocked down flies did not always result in mortality, while type‐II pyrethroids and organophosphates exhibited strong correlation between the ...

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.
