Human skin volatiles influence midge behavior, with certain compounds acting as strong attractants or repellents. These odor differences are largely regulated by skin microbiota, offering insight into host preference mechanisms and potential for improved vector control. Abstract BACKGROUND Midges are widely distributed globally.

This study evaluated the predictive performance of mixture toxicity models for binary blends of essential oil constituents against Musca domestica. Parametric models (BRAID, Zimmer, MuSyC) outperformed conventional null models by accounting for synergistic or antagonistic interactions, highlighting the need for model selection based on interaction ...

This study discusses a promising new attractive targeted sugar bait (ATSB) technology using yeast that expresses shRNA targeting essential genes in the fruit pest spotted‐wing drosophila (SWD). The yeast, which is delivered using soda as a sugar bait, could one day be an effective component in integrated SWD control programs.

The bed bug olfactory system is highly tuned to two odor sources with dedicated odor information‐processing pathways that are modulated by the satiety–hunger state. Understanding the dynamic nature of switching odor preferences at different phases of blood digestion will contribute to the development of lures with host kairomones and aggregation ...

Both active and passive questing ticks, Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus, were assessed for behavioural responses to two novel plant‐derived repellent volatile organic compound blends. Both tick species were repelled by the products, and both novo blends were significantly more repellent than currently available commercial products.

Two small molecules, SACC‐0039590 and SACC‐0428788, killed cattle fever tick, R. microplus, susceptible Deutch strain and pyrethroid resistant Arauquita strain larvae. SACC‐0039590 at 1 mM decreased the reproductive parameters of Deutch females. Abstract BACKGROUND Resistance to acaricides underscores the need for tick control alternatives.

We used recently detected P450 DNA‐based markers of pyrethroid resistance in both Anopheles funestus and Anopheles gambiae to demonstrate that although pyrethroid‐resistant mosquitoes have higher ability to survive and live longer after exposure to Royal Guard, this net significantly affects their lifespan, blood feeding ability and interestingly ...

Towards edge processing of images from insect camera traps
The advancement of light traps with camera‐based monitoring systems for nocturnal insects necessitates effective and flexible pipelines for analysing recorded images. In this paper, we present a flexible and fast processing pipeline designed to analyse these recordings by detecting, tracking and classifying insects in a broad taxonomy of 15 classes and
