An RNA interference biopesticide reduces reproduction of the honey bee parasite Varroa destructor by down‐regulating embryo development pathways

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Varroa destructor mites exposed to dsRNA specific in sequence to a V. destructor calmodulin gene significantly effected gene expression of adult female mites sampled 5 days after entering a honey bee brood cell to reproduce. Significantly down‐regulated genes included Calmodulin and were associated with calcium ion binding and embryo developmental ...

Breeding cold‐tolerant Orius laevigatus lines improves thermal tolerance and body size: implications for biological control

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Biological control agents performance is influenced by temperature. Two cold‐tolerant lines of O. loevigatus were developed, improving their fitness at both low and high temperatures, offering advantages far augmentative biological control. Abstract BACKGROUND The performance of biological control agents (BCAs) is strongly influenced by environmental ...

What are the vector species of the Oropouche virus?

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Here, we review the timeline of Oropouche virus (OROV) detection in various hematophagous Diptera, from 1955 to date, including mosquitoes and midges. All vector competence experiments also are described. The results suggest that Culicoides are the primary vectors.

Evaluating the potential of RNA interference for control of striped cucumber beetle, Acalymma vittatum (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
SCB has a robust RNAi response to injected dsRNA, but oral RNAi is less efficient. Nucleases do not appear to be responsible for the discrepancy, suggesting other factors are involved. Abstract BACKGROUND The striped cucumber beetle (SCB) is a serious pest of cucurbit crops, causing damage both by feeding on plants and by vectoring plant diseases ...
