Insects Associated With Butternut and Butternut Canker in Minnesota and Wisconsin [PDF]
, 2018 Butternut, Juglans cinerea, is being killed throughout its native range in North America by the fungus Sirococcus clavigignenti-juglandacearum. In addition to rain splashed spores, it is thought that the fungus may have spread over long distances to ...

Multimodal Locomotion: Next Generation Aerial–Terrestrial Mobile Robotics
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView., 2023 Aerial–terrestrial robots can achieve efficient energy consumption and robust environmental interaction by adding morphological features, adapting forms for locomotion transitions, and integrating multiple platforms. This next generation of mobile robots advances real‐world robotic deployment for operations with complex tasks and tackle environments ...

Feeding Behavior and Virus-transmission Ability of Insect Vectors Exposed to Systemic Insecticides
Plants, 2020 The majority of plant viruses depend on Hemipteran vectors for their survival and spread. Effective management of these insect vectors is crucial to minimize the spread of vector-borne diseases, and to reduce crop damage. The aim of the present study was

Biological rhythms and vector insects [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2013 The adjustment of all species, animals and plants, to the Earth's cyclic environments is ensured by their temporal organisation. The relationships between parasites, vectors and hosts rely greatly upon the synchronisation of their biological rhythms, especially circadian rhythms. In this short note, parasitic infections by Protozoa and by microfilariae

Risk of yellow fever virus transmission in the Asia-Pacific region
Nature Communications, 2020 Yellow fever is absent from the Asia/Pacific region, despite presence of the mosquito vector. Here, the authors demonstrate that mosquitoes collected from field sites across the region are capable of transmitting yellow fever virus, indicating that ...

Manipulation of Jasmonate Signaling by Plant Viruses and Their Insect Vectors
Viruses, 2020 Plant viruses pose serious threats to stable crop yield. The majority of them are transmitted by insects, which cause secondary damage to the plant host from the herbivore-vector’s infestation.

Arboviruses and the challenge to establish systemic and persistent infections in competent mosquito vectors : the interaction with the RNAi mechanism [PDF]
, 2019 Arboviruses are capable to establish long-term persistent infections in mosquitoes that do not affect significantly the physiology of the insect vectors. Arbovirus infections are controlled by the RNAi machinery via the production of viral siRNAs and the

Acoustic communication in insect disease vectors [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2013 Acoustic signalling has been extensively studied in insect species, which has led to a better understanding of sexual communication, sexual selection and modes of speciation. The significance of acoustic signals for a blood-sucking insect was first reported in the XIX century by Christopher Johnston, studying the hearing organs of mosquitoes, but has ...

A Systematic Review of the Natural Virome of Anopheles Mosquitoes
Viruses, 2018 Anopheles mosquitoes are vectors of human malaria, but they also harbor viruses, collectively termed the virome. The Anopheles virome is relatively poorly studied, and the number and function of viruses are unknown. Only the o’nyong-nyong arbovirus (ONNV)
