Hormones Controlling Insect Metamorphosis
1980Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the control of postembryonic growth and metamorphosis. It highlights the chemistry, biochemistry, and regulation of prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH), juvenile hormone, and molting hormone (20-hydroxyecdysone, ecdysterone) in the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta, and deals only in a cursory manner with hormone

Recombinant baculoviruses for insect control
Pest Management Science, 2001AbstractBaculoviruses are double‐stranded DNA viruses which are highly selective for several insect groups. They are valuable natural control agents, but their utility in many agricultural applications has been limited by their slow speed of kill and narrow host specificity.

The Control of Domestic Insects in Italy
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine, 1950For many ages insects have drastically affected the life of mankind. In bygone centuries these tiny creatures spread frightful epidemics of plague, of typhus and of malaria among the peoples of Europe. They have sometimes determined the course of history and decided the destiny of nations. During this time humanity has scarcely been aware of the deadly

Control Systems of Orientation in Insects
Annual Review of Entomology, 1962Active orientation means the determination and the maintenance-in short, the control-of an organism's spatial relations. Control of this kind requires a mechanism, a "system" in which organs that are able to pick up information about spatial relations are connected to organs that are able to change spatial relations.

Insect Pest Control on Potatoes
Outlook on Agriculture, 1988The international importance of the potato crop needs no stressing and its protection from insect pests is correspondingly important. This article reviews the wide variety of control methods currently in use. In present circumstances integrated pest control methods are desirable on environmental grounds, but in practice the careful monitoring required ...

Mutations and their use in insect control
Mutation Research/Reviews in Mutation Research, 2002Traditional chemically based methods for insect control have been shown to have serious limitations, and many alternative approaches have been developed and evaluated, including those based on the use of different types of mutation. The mutagenic action of ionizing radiation was well known in the field of genetics long before it was realized by ...

Cyborgs: Neuromuscular Control of Insects
2019 9th International IEEE/EMBS Conference on Neural Engineering (NER), 2019This work explores the design of a low cost microcircuit platform that is light weight, energy efficient and highly capable in stimulating insect brain, logging sensory data and using it to model and control its neuromuscular pathway, all in real-time. The results are encouraging and opens up avenues for miniature bio-robots.

Sensory control of locomotion in insects
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1991Insects represent ideal model systems in which to tackle issues of sensory-motor integration. There have recently been important results in several fields encompassing the development and plasticity of reflex pathways, the mapping of mechanosensory information in thoracic neuropils, the biophysics of integration in local premotor interneurons, and the ...
