Low-cost insect rearing

, 2014
To meet an increasing need for host insects used in the mass rearing of insect parasites, Ian Gibbs and the entomology staff of CARDI (Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute) developed an inexpensive insect-rearing cage at their..

Early Post-Eclosion Physiological Remodelling in Tenebrio molitor: Body Condition, Cuticle Tanning and Immune Maturation During the First Week of Adult Life

Insects
Early adult life represents a critical developmental window during which insects undergo profound physiological reorganization. Despite the economic importance of the yellow mealworm, Tenebrio molitor L., this transition remains poorly characterized ...

Comparison of diets for rearing the larvae of Mediterranean fruit fly: nutritional and economic aspects

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2017
The Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann, 1824) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is the main pest of fruit crops worldwide due to its broad distribution, direct damages, and adaptation to different hosts.

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

In vivo production of entomopathogenic nematodes using Galleria mellonella: costs and effect of diets on nematode pathogenicity

Journal of Nematology, 2019
Five separate diets – beeswax (BW), glycerol (Gly), and three types of dog croquettes (DC1, DC2, and DC3) – were used to rear larvae of the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella.

Translophagy—A potential link between autophagy impairment and translational errors

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by the accumulation of abnormal proteins and protein aggregates, but their origin often remains unknown. We propose that selective autophagy removes damaged protein‐making machinery, preventing errors during protein synthesis.

L‐aspartate oxidase provides new insights into fumarate reduction in anaerobic darkness in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Synechocystis strains deficient in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) secrete more succinate than the WT under dark anaerobic conditions, supporting that SDH then primarily acts as SDH, not as a fumarate reductase. L‐aspartate oxidase (Laspo) from Synechocystis is functional under anaerobic conditions, reducing fumarate to succinate.

Optimization of mass-rearing methods for anopheles arabiensis larval stages: Effects of rearing water temperature and larval density on mosquito life-history traits [PDF]

, 2018
Insect mass-rearing is an essential requirement for the sterile insect technique. Production at a large scale requires the development of standardized rearing procedures to produce good quality males able to compete with wild males to mate with wild ...

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...
