Juvenile hormone‐mediated accelerated post‐flight recovery of ovarian development in Loxostege sticticalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.
Flight in female beet webworms (Loxostege sticticalis) promotes an increase in feeding, thereby enhancing abdominal energy reserves. Following flight, the flight muscles undergo accelerated histolysis, and the energy substances undergoing histolysis are redirected to the ovaries. These two processes collectively promote ovarian development.

Integrated In Silico, In Vivo, and Deep Learning Approaches in the Discovery of Novel Candidate Molecules for Aedes aegypti Control

open access: yesArchives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 121, Issue 2, February 2026.
An integrated computational/experimental workflow was used to identify new candidate molecules for Aedes aegypti control. Docking of 1,070 chalcones against mJHBP, followed by in vivo assays, identified 4′‐chloro‐4‐methoxychalcone (2c) as the most active larvicide candidate.

Cross Resistance in S-Methoprene-Resistant Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae)

open access: yesJournal of Medical Entomology, 2020
Abstract The juvenile hormone analog S-methoprene is the only synthetic biopesticide that is registered with the United States Environmental Protection Agency to control arthropods of economic importance in public health, livestock, pets, urban, and stored products. The high activity, relative target specificity, and benign environmental

Plant Virus‐Induced Inheritable Apoptosis Drives Reproductive Costs in Female Insect Vectors to Balance Viral Biparental Transmission

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, 27 January 2026.
Rice gall dwarf virus (RGDV), transmitted biparentally by leafhopper vector to their offspring, exploits the capsid protein to induce inheritable ovarian apoptosis via insulin‐driven PI3K/AKT/FoxO signaling axis. This mechanism enhances infection but reduces female reproductive fitness, causing inefficient maternal transmission.

Effects of Altosid XR briquets as sustained-release formulations on Culex pipiens and honey bees [PDF]

open access: yesArthropods, 2019
Mosquitos are dangerous disease vectors to humans. There are many methods to control mosquitos, and one of these methods depends on adding insect growth regulators (IGRs) in pond water to impair the development of immature stages.

Lessons learned exploiting a multi‐year large‐scale data set derived from operational quality assessment of mosquito larval treatments in rain catch basins

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 6630-6638, October 2025.
Results highlight opposite associations between percentages of positive rain catch basins treated with diflubenzuron and Bacillus against mosquito larvae and/or pupae and the intervals between treatments and inspections, and spatial variability in vector control.
