Pollen Exposed to Aerial Pesticide Spray Is a Major Exposure Pathway for Stingless Bees

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Testing possible exposure routes of pesticides is essential for assessing the risks to pollinators. In Australia, the pesticide Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) is widely used in mosquito control programs and applied aerially to mangrove and

Assessment of fall-back MRLs for revoked CXLs previously implemented in the EU legislation. [PDF]

open access: yesEFSA J
Abstract In the 56th meeting of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR meeting) held in September 2025 and the subsequent 48th meeting of the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) (November 2025), 352 Codex MRLs (CXLs) for 30 active substances (a.s.) were revoked.

Juvenile hormone (JH) esterase of the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus is not a target of the JH analog insecticide methoprene. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Juvenile hormones (JHs) are essential sesquiterpenes that control insect development and reproduction. JH analog (JHA) insecticides such as methoprene are compounds that mimic the structure and/or biological activity of JH.

Transcriptomic analysis of s-methoprene resistance in the lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica, and evaluation of piperonyl butoxide as a resistance breaker

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2021
Background The lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica is a serious pest of stored grains. Fumigation and contact insecticides play a major role in managing this pest globally.

Screening of reference genes for expression analysis in the study of soldier caste differentiation of Formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, is a serious pest worldwide. Juvenile hormone analog (and its analogs such as methoprene) can induce the transformation of the worker caste into soldier caste in C. formosanus.

Topical Application of Synthetic Hormones Terminated Reproductive Diapause of a Univoltine Weed Biological Control Agent

open access: yesInsects, 2021
Classical biological control is an important method for controlling invasive alien weeds. Univoltine insects can be highly effective biological control agents of annual weeds because they are well synchronized with their host plant.

Effects of hormone agonists on Sf9 cells, proliferation and cell cycle arrest. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Methoxyfenozide and methoprene are two insecticides that mimic the action of the main hormones involved in the control of insect growth and development, 20-hydroxyecdysone and juvenile hormone.

Evaluation of methoprene effect on Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) development in laboratory conditions

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2005
Several Brazilian Aedes aegypti populations are resistant to the larvicidae temephos. Methoprene, that inhibits adult emergence, is one of the alternatives envisaged by the Brazilian Dengue Control Program (PNCD).

Regulation of Juvenile Hormone on Summer Diapause of Geleruca daurica and Its Pathway Analysis

open access: yesInsects, 2021
Juvenile hormone (JH) signaling plays an important role in regulation of reproductive diapause in insects. However, we have little understanding of the effect of JH on gene expression at the transcriptome level in diapause. Galeruca daurica is a new pest

Susceptibility of stored grain insects to the insect growth regulator methoprene

open access: yesJulius-Kühn-Archiv, 2018
The insect growth regulator (IGR) methoprene is labeled in the United States (US) for direct application to stored grain commodities, and as a residual surface treatment to empty grain bins and flooring surfaces inside indoor structures.
