Gene‐specific double‐stranded RNAs induce mortality in the South African mealybug Delottococcus aberiae [PDF]
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5184-5194, June 2026.Gene‐specific double‐stranded RNAs effectively silence essential genes in the invasive citrus pest Delottococcus aberiae, leading to significant mortality through both microinjection and oral delivery. These results provide proof of concept for RNA interference‐based biopesticides as selective and sustainable tools for citrus integrated pest management.

Sex Pheromone of the Papaya Mealybug [PDF]
Journal of Chemical EcologySex pheromones of mealybugs are reported from more than 20 species and have generally been shown to be monoterpene alcohols esterified with short-chain carboxylic acids. Here, however, we discovered and isolated an alcohol without an acid moiety as a pheromone compound released from adult females of the papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus.
