Thermodynamics and Entropy Loss in Nanoconfined Chain Polymerization

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The difference in the entropy change on propagation in nanoconfined and bulk free‐radical polymerizations is 1–2 orders of magnitude larger than the conformational entropy lost in confined SAW simulations. The experimental confinement entropy is also super‐extensive in chain length scaling, suggesting that the difference between experiments and ...

Transcriptomic resources and functional validation of RNAi in the cabbage seedpod weevil, Ceutorhynchus obstrictus

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Transcriptome sequencing of Ceutorhynchus obstrictus revealed RNA interference (RNAi) targets; double‐stranded RNA microinjection reduced transcript levels and increased mortality, with αCOP and Rop showing strongest lethal effects, indicating promising RNAi‐based pest control candidates.

Laboratory, simulated‐use, and field evaluation of non‐insecticidal consumer products for indoor pest management: a freeze‐spray aerosol, light traps, and an ‘insect repellent’ lamp

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Control efficacy of three types of non‐insecticidal consumer products were examined in laboratory, simulated‐use, and field conditions. Freeze spray and ‘repellent lamp’ showed limited efficacy, whereas various results in attraction in light trap were reported.

Evaluating larvicide performance against Culicoides sonorensis in semi‐field conditions

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the efficacy of larvicide products against Culicoides sonorensis populations under controlled semi‐field conditions. Larvicide efficacy against C. sonorensis declined over time, in different environmental conditions. In particular, precipitation and habitat disturbance influenced residual performance. Abstract BACKGROUND Culicoides

Automatic insect identification, counting, and monitoring techniques: a review

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Automated insect monitoring increasingly integrates optical, acoustic, infrared, radar, electrostatic, and biosensing technologies with artificial intelligence. No single approach is universally optimal; reliable deployment depends on task‐specific validation, representative datasets, robustness under field conditions, energy autonomy, connectivity ...

Prevalence and drivers of ectoparasite abundance on Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) in New York City residential complexes

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Norway rat ectoparasite burden varied by residential microhabitat, host traits, and trap type, showing that urban rodent management should address both rat burden and ectoparasite persistence in residential buildings. Abstract BACKGROUND Norway rats, Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout), can carry ectoparasites of public health importance.

Surgical Removal of a Tick‐Bite Region Without the Presence of an Insect Body

Clinical Case Reports
In the absence of an insect body, the diagnostic dermoscopic features of tick bites in the patient included a puncture hole in the tick‐bite lesion located at the center of an erythematous area, along with linear‐to‐irregular white exfoliating imprints ...

Proteo‐transcriptomic insights into the venom composition of the ectoparasitoid Eupelmus urozonus

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Integrated venom‐gland transcriptomics and venom proteomics of Eupelmus urozonus identified 316 venom proteins, including 75 secreted candidates, revealing diverse hydrolases, proteases/inhibitors and many uncharacterized effectors. Abstract BACKGROUND Ectoparasitoid venoms are ‘cocktails’ of bioactive molecules injected during oviposition to paralyze ...

Long‐term impact of exposure to Royal Guard, a pyriproxyfen‐based bed net, on pyrethroid‐resistant malaria vectors from Cameroon using DNA‐based metabolic resistance markers

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2165-2180, April 2025.
We used recently detected P450 DNA‐based markers of pyrethroid resistance in both Anopheles funestus and Anopheles gambiae to demonstrate that although pyrethroid‐resistant mosquitoes have higher ability to survive and live longer after exposure to Royal Guard, this net significantly affects their lifespan, blood feeding ability and interestingly ...
