Transgenic Metarhizium rapidly kills mosquitoes in a malaria-endemic region of Burkina Faso

Science, 2019
Targeting mosquitoes to target malaria Anopheline mosquitoes transmit the malaria parasite, but the insects themselves are prone to their own infections. Lovett et al. engineered a specific fungal pathogen of anophelines to carry insect-selective toxins.

Peptides Derived From Reactive Center Loops Inhibit Digestive Trypsin‐Like Enzymes in Lepidopteran Pests

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 121, Issue 1, January 2026.
Soybean yield is often reduced by pest attacks. Among these, Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) stands out as one of the most important defoliating pests of soybean. Therefore, the development of new bioinsecticides targeting Lepidopteran pests is an urgent need.

RNAi‐mediated gene silencing of a 26S proteasome subunit increases mortality of the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 1066-1078, January 2026.
We propose the regulatory particle non‐ATPase subunit 6 of the 26S proteasome as a first good promising RNA interference target candidate to control the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica. This will help to optimize a double‐stranded RNA insecticide against this priority pest with low off‐target effects on pollinators on a gene sequence‐based prediction.

Control of Woolly Apple Aphid (Eriosoma lanigerum) by Augmenting Earwigs (Forficula auricularia) in the Canopy of Apple Trees

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 1, Page 61-73, January 2026.
Apple trees provisioned with five earwigs and a refuge made a small but not significant contribution to woolly apple aphid control. ABSTRACT Woolly apple aphid, Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausmann), is a damaging pest of apple (Malus domestica F.) found in most regions of the world where apples grow.

Diversity of Entomopathogenic Fungi in Rice Field Bunds: Role of Soil Properties and Weed Vegetation for Integrated Pest Management

AGRIVITA Journal of Agricultural Science
Rice field bunds function as a reservoir of biodiversity, one of which is entomopathogenic fungi (EPF), which plays a role in controlling insect populations and increasing plant resistance.

Effects of Soil Steam Sterilization on Red Clover, Its Associated Soil Microorganisms, and Mutualistic Symbionts Under Recurrent Drought

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The rhizosphere is a biodiversity hotspot, shaped by intricate interactions between plants and soil microorganisms. Drought events increasingly threaten agroecosystems by negatively impacting both plant productivity and associated microbial communities.
