Atividade inseticida dos óleos de pinhão-manso (Jatropha Curcas L.) e neem (Azadirachta Indica A. Juss.) em ovos de Diatraea Saccharalis (Fabr., 1794) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)

Arquivos do Instituto Biológico
O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar os efeitos dos óleos de pinhão-manso e neem na eclosão de lagartas de Diatraea saccharalis (Fabr., 1794). Os testes foram conduzidos em câmaras climatizadas a 25 ± 2° C, UR de 70 ± 10% e fotofase de 12 horas.

SYN‐A, a naturally derived synergist, restores pyrethroid efficacy against cabbage stem flea beetle but negatively impacts its parasitoid Microctonus brassicae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
SYN‐A, a naturally derived synergist, inhibited key metabolic pathways associated with pyrethroid insecticide resistance in cabbage stem flea beetle (CSFB) and its parasitoid Microctonus brassicae. SYN‐A restored pyrethroid efficacy against resistant CSFB allowing up to 80% reduction in application rates.

Synthetic polymer nanocarrier enhances dsRNA stability but not RNAi efficacy in Brassicogethes aeneus

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Experimental setup for dsRNA feeding in Brassicogethes aeneus to evaluate the effect of a synthetic polymer nanocarrier on RNAi efficiency. The experiment assessed whether the nanocarrier enhances RNAi after oral dsRNA delivery. (a) Stability of dsRNA–nanocarrier complexes was tested in simulated gut conditions. (b) Gene expression of αCOP and dre4 was

Multifunctional coreid bug pheromones for efficient bioprotection against legume pests and enhanced food productivity

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture
Background In Africa, food legumes such as cowpeas and beans constitute important sources of proteins for millions of rural and urban populations. However, attacks by multiple pest species can reduce yields by up to 80%.

Optimization of the bi-oleothermal treatment process for wood preservation and fireproofing [PDF]

, 2011
The bi-oleothermal© process (combination of oil and heat treatment) is a well mastered alternative method for wood protection. However, the fire behavior and resistance to decay of bi-oleothermally treated wood are not good enough to ensure performance ...

Effects of bioinsecticide exposure route on aphids and their natural enemies in oilseed rape

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Fatty acids, silicone polymers and surfactants reduced aphid numbers but caused natural enemy mortality under direct exposure, while minimal residual activity suggests potential for targeted, compatible use in integrated pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Myzus persicae Sulzer and Brevicoryne brassicae L.

Gene‐specific double‐stranded RNAs induce mortality in the South African mealybug Delottococcus aberiae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Gene‐specific double‐stranded RNAs effectively silence essential genes in the invasive citrus pest Delottococcus aberiae, leading to significant mortality through both microinjection and oral delivery. These results provide proof of concept for RNA interference‐based biopesticides as selective and sustainable tools for citrus integrated pest management.

A consistent positive association between landscape simplification and insecticide use across the Midwestern US from 1997 through 2012

Environmental Research Letters, 2015
During 2007, counties across the Midwestern US with relatively high levels of landscape simplification (i.e., widespread replacement of seminatural habitats with cultivated crops) had relatively high crop-pest abundances which, in turn, were associated ...

Advances in leishmaniasis.

, 2005
Governed by parasite and host factors and immunoinflammatory responses, the clinical spectrum of leishmaniasis encompasses subclinical (inapparent), localised (skin lesions), and disseminated infection (cutaneous, mucosal, or visceral).
