Opportunities for integrated pest management to control the poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae [PDF]

, 2011
Dermanyssus gallinae is the most economically important ectoparasite of laying hens in Europe. Control of D. gallinae is already hampered by issues of pesticide resistance and product withdrawal and, with the prohibition of conventional cages in 2012 and

Incompatible insect technique mass rearing infrastructure cost calculator for the control of Culex quinquefasciatus in Hawaiʻi

, 2022
Abstract BackgroundHawaiʻi’s native forest avifauna is experiencing drastic declines due to climate change induced increases in temperature encroaching on their upper elevation montane rainforest refugia. Increasing temperature supports higher avian malaria infection rates due to increasing densities of its primary vector, the southern house ...

Wolbachia strain wPip yields a pattern of cytoplasmic incompatibility enhancing a Wolbachia-based suppression strategy against the disease vector Aedes albopictus

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Background Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is induced in nature by Wolbachia bacteria, resulting in conditional male sterility. Previous research demonstrated that the two Wolbachia strains (wAlbA and wAlbB) that naturally co-infect the disease vector ...

Advances in Double‐Stranded DNA Targeting Technologies

Exploration, EarlyView.
Double‐stranded DNA (dsDNA) plays a crucial role in genetic information storage and disease management, but its inherent stability limits access to internal bases. To overcome this challenge, various high‐specificity molecular targeting technologies have been developed to destabilize the DNA structure.

Sterile insect technique and Wolbachia symbiosis as potential tools for the control of the invasive species Drosophila suzukii

Journal of Pest Science, 2017
Drosophila suzukii, a vinegar fly originated from Southeast Asia, has recently invaded western countries, and it has been recognized as an important threat of a wide variety of several commercial soft fruits.

The Ising Partition Function: Zeros and Deterministic Approximation

, 2018
We study the problem of approximating the partition function of the ferromagnetic Ising model in graphs and hypergraphs. Our first result is a deterministic approximation scheme (an FPTAS) for the partition function in bounded degree graphs that is valid

A Wolbachia triple-strain infection generates self-incompatibility in Aedes albopictus and transmission instability in Aedes aegypti. [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Artificially-introduced transinfections of the intracellular bacterium Wolbachia pipientis have the potential to reduce the vectorial capacity of mosquito populations for viruses such as dengue and chikungunya. Aedes albopictus has two native
