The Association between Virus Prevalence and Intercolonial Aggression Levels in the Yellow Crazy Ant, Anoplolepis Gracilipes (Jerdon). [PDF]
, 2019 The recent discovery of multiple viruses in ants, along with the widespread infection of their hosts across geographic ranges, provides an excellent opportunity to test whether viral prevalence in the field is associated with the complexity of social ...

Water deficit enhances the transmission of plant viruses by insect vectors
PLoS ONE, 2017 Drought is a major threat to crop production worldwide and is accentuated by global warming. Plant responses to this abiotic stress involve physiological changes overlapping, at least partially, the defense pathways elicited both by viruses and their ...

The role of baculoviruses in controlling insect pests: A review
Cogent Food & Agriculture, 2023 Baculovirus play a major role in the control of insect pests that reduce the negative effect of synthetic insecticides on non-target groups and latter improve the integrated pest management for sustainable, effective and economical insect pest management

What do we (need to) know about low-susceptibility of codling moth against Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV)! [PDF]
, 2006 In 2005, the first codling moth (CM) populations with a reduced susceptibility to Cydia pomonella granulovi-rus (CpGV) products have been observed. This phenomenon might be an indicator of an emerging resis-tance of CM to CpGV. This paper summarizes some

Broad surveys of DNA viral diversity obtained through viral metagenomics of mosquitoes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Viruses are the most abundant and diverse genetic entities on Earth; however, broad surveys of viral diversity are hindered by the lack of a universal assay for viruses and the inability to sample a sufficient number of individual hosts.

Differences in microbiota between two multilocus lineages of the sugarcane Aphid (Melanaphis sacchari) in the continental United States [PDF]
, 2020 The sugarcane aphid (SCA), Melanaphis Sacchari (Zehntner) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), has been considered an invasive pest of sugarcane in the continental United States since 1977. Then, in 2013, SCA abruptly became a serious pest of U.S.

RNA Interference in Insect Vectors for Plant Viruses
Viruses, 2016 Insects and other arthropods are the most important vectors of plant pathogens. The majority of plant pathogens are disseminated by arthropod vectors such as aphids, beetles, leafhoppers, planthoppers, thrips and whiteflies.

Limited impact of the siRNA pathway on transposable element expression in Aedes aegypti
BMC BiologyBackground Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences that can change their position within a genome. In insects, small RNA pathways are central to the transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of TE expression.

Low multiplicity of infection in vivo results in purifying selection against baculovirus deletion mutants [PDF]
The in vivo fate of Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus deletion mutants originating from serial passage in cell culture was investigated by passaging a population enriched in these mutants in insect larvae.
