Detecting bracoviral orthologs distribution in five tsetse fly species and the housefly genomes
BMC Research Notes, 2020 Objective Mutualism between endogenous viruses and eukaryotes is still poorly understood. Several endogenous double-stranded polydnaviruses, bracoviruses, homologous to those present in parasitic braconid wasp genomes were detected in the tsetse fly ...

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

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 ...

Cloning, purification and comparative characterization of two digestive lysozymes from Musca domestica larvae [PDF]
, 2008 cDNA coding for two digestive lysozymes (MdL1 and MdL2) of the Musca domestica housefly was cloned and sequenced. MdL2 is a novel minor lysozyme, whereas MdL1 is the major lysozyme thus far purified from M. domestica midgut.

The transformer gene controls sexual development in Drosophila suzukii
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 547-565, April 2026.The transformer gene plays a key role in the genetic pathway for sexual development in Drosophila suzukii Abstract The genetic network of sex determination in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster was investigated in great detail. Such knowledge not only advances our understanding of the evolution and regulation of sexual dimorphism in insects ...
