A LAMP (loop-mediated isothermal amplification) test for rapid identification of Khapra beetle (Trogoderma granarium) [PDF]
Pest Management Science, 2021 We developed Khapra LAMP (loop‐mediated isothermal amplification) test for use in a portable fluorometer (amplifies positives within 25 min, anneal temperature 77.7 °C), with a gBlock double stranded DNA fragment as a positive control. The assay is sensitive to very low levels of DNA (1.02 × 10−6 ng μL−1) and capable of amplifying DNA from target ...

Modelling the arrival of invasive organisms via the international marine shipping network: a Khapra beetle study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Species can sometimes spread significant distances beyond their natural dispersal ability by anthropogenic means. International shipping routes and the transport of shipping containers, in particular are a commonly recognised pathway for the introduction

Modeling the Potential Distribution of the Invasive Pest <i>Trogoderma granarium</i> (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) Under CMIP6 Future Climate Projections. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe significant invasive pest, Trogoderma granarium, is currently recorded to have a limited distribution range. However, our study reveals that under current and future climatic conditions, this pest possesses an extensive potential distribution worldwide, with China's central and southern regions, southern USA, North Africa, southern Australia, and ...

Estimating the efficacy and plume reach of semiochemical-baited traps on the capture of Trogoderma granarium everts. [PDF]
Pest Manag Sci"Simulated warehouse": In this study, we take the step of testing existing and modified trap designs for Trogoderma after the release of T. granarium exclusively. This work will serve to evaluate trap efficacy, while providing a template for further attractant–kill research. The most effective trap was dome trap.

Detection of Phosphine Resistance in Field Populations of Four Key Stored-Grain Insect Pests in Pakistan [PDF]
Insects, 2021 In Pakistan, the control of stored-product insect pests mainly relies on the use of phosphine gas along with other control tactics. The aim of this study was to determine the level of phosphine resistance among ten differently located populations of the ...

Effects of selected nuts on the biology of Trogoderma granarium Everts [PDF]
Scientific ReportsTrogoderma granarium is a devastating pest of stored products worldwide. This species has the potential to feed, survive and reproduce in non-grain commodities, including nuts. However, biology of T. granarium has scarcely been studied on nuts.
