Mosquitoes cloak their legs to resist insecticides

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2019
Malaria incidence has halved since the year 2000, with 80% of the reduction attributable to the use of insecticides. However, insecticide resistance is now widespread, is rapidly increasing in spectrum and intensity across Africa, and may be contributing

Enhanced Recognition via Defect Engineered Amorphous Metal–Organic Framework for Sensitive and Stable Pesticide Biosensor

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A defect‐engineered assembly strategy is reported for the in situ encapsulation of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) into amorphous MOF‐74, endowing the composite with superior catalytic activity and target recognition capability. Leveraging these structural advantages, a sensitive and stable biosensor is constructed for the detection of paraoxon pesticide ...

Laboratory Rearing of Phalangium Opilio (Arachnida: Opiliones) [PDF]

, 2017
While a good deal of work has been reported on the natural history and ecology of the opiliones in Europe and England (Bristowe, 1949; Sankey, 1949; Todd, 1949; Phillipson, 1959; Savory, 1964; Juberthie, 1965), this important group has received little ...

Gut Microbe‐Driven Resistance Mechanisms in Propylea Japonica: Insights from Horizontal Gene Transfer and Oxidative Phosphorylation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Acinetobacter regulates dinotefuran tolerance in Propylea japonica by mediating the expression of the horizontally transferred gene PjDUF1. Abstract Insect–microbial symbiont relationships are widespread in nature and often involve lateral gene transfer.

Higher‐Level Structural Classification of Pseudomonas Cyclic Lipopeptides through Their Bioactive Conformation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Solution structures of a series of cyclic lipodepsipeptides from Pseudomonas reveal that these specialized metabolites adopt left‐handed alpha helical conformations of only two types, being either ‘stapled’ or ‘catch‐pole’ helix. The particular modular distribution of the biosynthetic gene clusters is found to determine the extent of their conserved ...
