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

EFFECTS OF METHOPRENE ON OVIPOSITION BY AEDES JAPONICUS AND CULEX SPP
Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2006 The mosquito larvicide methoprene is a juvenile growth hormone mimic that is widely used to control mosquitoes. This chemical disrupts normal mosquito development, drastically inhibiting emergence from the pupal to the adult stage. If the presence of methoprene attracts or deters mosquitoes from ovipositing it could have implications for mosquito ...

Methodology for Evaluating the Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) Methoprene on Packaging Films
Insects, 2016 The insect growth regulator methoprene can be mixed into the matrix used to comprise bags and other packaging materials. Different methodologies were utilized to evaluate the efficacy of different types of methoprene-treated packaging towards Tribolium ...

Ligand-binding properties of a juvenile hormone receptor, Methoprene-tolerant [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 Juvenile hormone (JH) is a sesquiterpenoid of vital importance for insect development, yet the molecular basis of JH signaling remains obscure, mainly because a bona fide JH receptor has not been identified. Mounting evidence points to the basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH)/Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domain protein Methoprene-tolerant (Met) as the best JH receptor ...

Combination of Methoprene and Controlled Aeration to Manage Insects in Stored Wheat [PDF]
Insects, 2016 A commercial formulation of the insect growth regulator methoprene was applied to wheat stored in small bins either alone or in combination with controlled aeration of the bins, to lower grain temperature for insect pest management of stored wheat. Grain
