Sub-lethal effects of indigenous isolate of Spodoptera frugiperda nucleopolyhedrovirus on fall armyworm growth and reproduction in India

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2023
Background Baculoviruses are specific pathogens which can lethally infect several lepidopteran pests. However, the sub-lethal effects of baculoviruses are also highly debilitating for the host. The objective of the study was to demonstrate the sub-lethal

Gain control in olfactory receptor neurons and the detection of temporal fluctuations in odor concentration

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
The ability of the cockroach to locate an odor source in still air suggests that the temporal dynamic of odor concentration in the slowly expanding stationary plume alone is used to infer odor source distance and location.

Comparative transcriptome analysis of venom glands from Cotesia vestalis and Diadromus collaris, two endoparasitoids of the host Plutella xylostella

Scientific Reports, 2017
Venoms secreted by the venom gland (VG) of parasitoid wasp help ensure successful parasitism by host immune suppression and developmental regulation. Cotesia vestalis, a larval endoparasitoid, and Diadromus collaris, a pupal endoparasitoid, parasitize ...
