Optimal performance design of bat algorithm: An adaptive multi‐stage structure

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract The bat algorithm (BA) is a metaheuristic algorithm for global optimisation that simulates the echolocation behaviour of bats with varying pulse rates of emission and loudness, which can be used to find the globally optimal solutions for various optimisation problems. Knowing the recent criticises of the originality of equations, the principle

Transovarial Transmission in Insect Vectors

Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, 2019
Phytoplasma ability to infect a new generation of insects by transovarial transmission was demonstrated in some insect vector/plant host combinations mainly by molecular evidence coupled with biological assays. Scaphoideus titanus was the first one in which phytoplasma detection in eggs, newly hatched nymphs and adults (reared on phytoplasma-free Vicia

Virus-induced plant volatiles mediate the olfactory behavior of its insect vectors.

Plant, Cell and Environment, 2021
Plant viruses can manipulate their hosts to release odors that are attractive or repellent to their insect vectors. However, the volatile organic compounds (VOCs), either individually or as mixtures, which play a key role in the olfactory behavior of ...

INSECT VECTORS OF PHYTOPLASMAS

Annual Review of Entomology, 2006
▪ Abstract  Plant diseases caused by, or associated with, phytoplasmas occur in hundreds of commercial and native plants, causing minor to extensive damage. Insect vectors, primarily leafhoppers, planthoppers, and psyllids, have been identified for relatively few phytoplasma diseases, limiting the capacity of managers to make informed decisions to ...

Localizing Viruses in Their Insect Vectors

Annual Review of Phytopathology, 2014
The mechanisms and impacts of the transmission of plant viruses by insect vectors have been studied for more than a century. The virus route within the insect vector is amply documented in many cases, but the identity, the biochemical properties, and the structure of the actual molecules (or molecule domains) ensuring compatibility between them remain

Lipid metabolism in insect disease vectors.

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2018
More than a third of the world population is at constant risk of contracting some insect-transmitted disease, such as Dengue fever, Zika virus disease, malaria, Chagas' disease, African trypanosomiasis, and others. Independent of the life cycle of the pathogen causing the disease, the insect vector hematophagous habit is a common and crucial trait for ...

Oviposition pheromones in insect vectors

Parasitology Today, 1995
Oviposition aggregation pheromones occur in a range of insect groups including Diptera, where they mediate oviposition in four different families of disease vectors. In this paper, Philip McCall and Mary Cameron discuss the selection pressures favouring oviposition pheromones and speculate on their potential applications in disease monitoring and ...

Tn5 as an insect gene vector

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2004
The purpose of this study was to explore alternatives to insect-derived transposable elements as insect gene vectors with the intention of improving existing insect transgenesis methods. The mobility properties of the bacterial transposon, Tn5, were tested in mosquitoes using a transient transposable element mobility assay and by attempting to create ...
