Pollen Exposed to Aerial Pesticide Spray Is a Major Exposure Pathway for Stingless Bees [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionTesting 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

Evaluation of methoprene effect on Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) development in laboratory conditions [PDF]
Memorias 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).

Susceptibility of stored grain insects to the insect growth regulator methoprene [PDF]
Julius-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.

Development and silk production by silkworm larvae after topical application of methoprene [PDF]
Scientia Agricola, 2002 Juvenile hormone analogues have been tested as insect growth regulators in silkworm (Bombyx mori), seeking an increment of silk production. These chemical products, when applied in small or moderate rates, promote the extension of the last larval instar.

Animals, 2023 Osmia bicornis syn. O. rufa is a univoltine bee species in which adults fly in spring and the offspring overwinter as cocooned imagoes. The flight period of solitary bees is short, so methods of control for development and emergence time are needed to ...

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 ...

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2017 In this study methoprene, a juvenile hormone analogues, was tested as a factor that stimulates the end of diapause, bee activation and emergence. In addition, the survival of bees was checked when combined with an application of methoprene.

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.

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