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 ...

Laying hen performance, feed economy, egg quality and yolk fatty acid profiles from laying hens fed live black soldier fly larvae

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2023
The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) serves as an alternative source of protein in poultry production. However, there is little available information on feeding live black soldier fly larvae (LBSFL) to hens.

The mitochondrial genome of Aenasius arizonensis (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) with novel gene order

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Aenasius arizonensis is the endoparasitoid of mealybug (Phenacoccus solenopsis) and plays an important role in biological control. We sequenced the A. arizonensis mitochondrial genome using next-generation sequencing.

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.

Composition of Anopheles mosquitoes, their blood-meal hosts, and Plasmodium falciparum infection rates in three islands with disparate bed net coverage in Lake Victoria, Kenya

Malaria Journal, 2017
Background Small islands serve as potential malaria reservoirs through which new infections might come to the mainland and may be important targets in malaria elimination efforts. This study investigated malaria vector species diversity, blood-meal hosts,
