17-epi-Melianodiol, a new protolimonoid from Melia azedarach fruits, exhibits larvicidal activity and is associated with oxidative imbalance and midgut epithelial damage in Aedes aegypti larvae. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciThe bio‐guided phytochemical study resulted in the new compound 17‐epi‐melianodiol. The compound eliminated 100% of Aedes aegypti larvae at 100 ppm, causing pronounced morphological changes, cuticular damage, and extensive vacuolization. Abstract BACKGROUND In Brazil, Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of arboviruses such as dengue, chikungunya ...

Pollen Exposed to Aerial Pesticide Spray Is a Major Exposure Pathway for Stingless Bees. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe conducted a molecular ecology experiment to determine foraging of stingless bees and potential exposure routes for aerially applied pesticides. We found that 27% of forager bees brought back Bti to the hive, and that this is a major route for pesticide exposure.
