The combined impact of LLINs, house screening, and pull-push technology for improved malaria control and livelihoods in rural Ethiopia: study protocol for household randomised controlled trial

BMC Public Health, 2022
Background The combined application of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are commonly used malaria interventions that target indoor Anopheles vectors. Recent studies on the effects of house screening (HS) and LLINs

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

Herbivory increases diversification across insect clades. [PDF]

, 2015
Insects contain more than half of all living species, but the causes of their remarkable diversity remain poorly understood. Many authors have suggested that herbivory has accelerated diversification in many insect clades. However, others have questioned
