Effects of bioinsecticide exposure route on aphids and their natural enemies in oilseed rape

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 11, Page 10625-10636, November 2026.
Fatty acids, silicone polymers and surfactants reduced aphid numbers but caused natural enemy mortality under direct exposure, while minimal residual activity suggests potential for targeted, compatible use in integrated pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Myzus persicae Sulzer and Brevicoryne brassicae L.

Seedling resistance and chemical defenses against Psylliodes chrysocephala: the roles of seed age and sinapinic acid in Sinapis alba and Brassica napus

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 11, Page 10727-10738, November 2026.
The cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is a major pest of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus). We tested B. napus and Sinapis alba seedlings for feeding resistance and underlying chemical defenses. S. alba was least damaged, while metabolite profiles revealed resistance‐linked compounds, highlighting breeding potential for insect ...

Evaluation of KO-Tab 1-2-3: a wash-resistant 'dip-it-yourself' insecticide formulation for long-lasting treatment of mosquito nets. [PDF]

, 2005
INTRODUCTION: Insecticide-treated nets (ITN) are an important method of preventing malaria. To remain effective, they need to be re-treated with pyrethroid insecticide at approximately yearly intervals. Systems for re-treating nets in Africa are limited,

Modeling resource allocation strategies for insecticide-treated bed nets to achieve malaria eradication

eLife
Large reductions in the global malaria burden have been achieved, but plateauing funding poses a challenge for progressing towards the ultimate goal of malaria eradication. Using previously published mathematical models of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax

Developmental Toxicity Study for the Antimalarial Drug Combination Cabamiquine‐Pyronaridine Using a Translational Approach

Birth Defects Research, Volume 118, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The safety of pharmacological treatments during pregnancy is a significant concern, as many medications lack comprehensive reproductive safety data. This creates gaps in therapeutic options for pregnant women, particularly malaria, which poses serious risks to maternal and fetal health.
