Parasites & Vectors, 2018 Background Lotilaner is a new isoxazoline developed as an oral ectoparasiticide for cats and dogs. Its safety, rapid killing onset of action and sustained speed of fleas and ticks kill for a minimum of one month after administration, were demonstrated in

Methoprene-tolerant 1 regulates gene transcription to maintain insect larval status [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, 2014 Insect molting and metamorphosis are regulated by two hormones: 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) and juvenile hormone (JH). The hormone 20E regulates gene transcription via the nuclear receptor EcR to promote metamorphosis, whereas JH regulates gene transcription via its intracellular receptor methoprene-tolerant (Met) to prevent larval–pupal transition ...

Diet acts on sexual behavior development in a male moth
Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 4, Page 1439-1452, August 2025.Drastic changes are observed during sexual maturation characterized by the reproductive system development concomitantly to the sexual behavior ontogenesis. These modifications are under the control of internal and external factors such as food. Knowing that sexual maturation requires considerable energetic investment, diet has been shown to affect ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2010 In the present study the hypothesis that there is a feedback between juvenile hormone and adipokinetic hormones (AKHs) was investigated by topical application of the juvenoid methoprene on 9-day-old adult males of the firebug Pyrrhocoris apterus.

The quest for the best target genes for RNAi‐mediated pest control
Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 505-517, August 2025.A major challenge for RNAi mediated pest control is the identification of the most effective RNAi target genes from the pool of ~37% of all genes that are essential. Effective RNAi target genes are predominantly highly conserved genes serving basic cellular functions such as protein degradation.

Development and silk production by silkworm larvae after topical application of methoprene
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.

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 18, May 15, 2025.In CLas‐infected D. citri, CLas lowers 20E levels initially, relieving the suppression of ETH release. The subsequent increase in ETH levels upregulates its receptor DcETHR and activates the JH signaling pathway. The signaling cascade of 20E‐ETH/ETHR‐JH along with miR‐210, targeting DcETHR, boost female fecundity in CLas+ D.

Efficacy of Combinations of Methoprene and Deltamethrin as Long-Term Commodity Protectants
Insects, 2019 Wheat, corn, and brown rice were treated with different combinations of a deltamethrin suspension concentrate (SC) formulation and a new emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation, at rates of either 0.5 or 1.0 ppm alone or in combination with 1.25 and 2 ...
