Evaluation of a Push-Pull Approach for Aedes aegypti (L.) Using a Novel Dispensing System for Spatial Repellents in the Laboratory and in a Semi-Field Environment.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The increase in insecticide resistant mosquito populations necessitates the exploration of novel vector control intervention measures. Push-pull strategies for insect control have been successful when used in integrated crop pest management.

Repellent, irritant and toxic effects of essential oil constituents on Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) [PDF]

, 2013
Whiteflies, Bemisia tabaci, are a widespread pest in agriculture, causing crop loss up to 100% by direct and indirect damage. Controlling this pest has proven difficult due to the fact that they stay underside the leaves and their ability to become ...

DNA‐Templated 2D Heterostructures as Phototriggered Dynamic Nanohybrids: From Releasing Molecular Loads to Controlling Enzyme Biocatalytic Function

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
DNA strands are employed both as dynamic linkers and nanoscale templates for the integration of Ag2S nanoparticles on MoS2, which in turn imparted photothermal responsiveness; this feature permits the selective cargo (fluorophore, quantum dots or an enzyme) release from the MoS2 surface in response to local heat induced by light irradiation.
