Transcriptional response in larvae of the generalist fruit fly Anastrepha obliqua feeding on three different tropical host plants

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We investigated the molecular basis of host switching by the phytophagous West Indian fruit fly (A. obliqua). Third‐instar larvae showed differential gene expression according to host plants: red mombin, mango, and carambola. The main gene categories differentially expressed were digestion, detoxification, and gene regulators.

Investigation of four diagnostic methods to identify infectious ulcerative keratitis in horses in Colorado, USA

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background Ulcerative keratitis in equine patients can result in keratomalacia and perforation. Prompt and accurate diagnostics are necessary for appropriate therapy and a favourable outcome. Objective To determine the diagnostic utility (specificity and speed) of four diagnostic methods for infectious ulcerative keratitis in the horse.

A loop‐mediated isothermal amplification assay to detect insect‐associated Serratia spp. in the critically endangered insect Dryococelus australis

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Inclusion of a novel sample cleanup step prior to extraction of bacterial DNA from insect frass enhanced rates of bacterial cell recovery and removed insect and plant cells. Development of a robust LAMP assay allowed detection of insect‐associated members of the Serratia marcescens complex in frass from live insects. Results from the LAMP assay applied

Molecular Identification of Agrilus anxius (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) Using a qPCR Assay With Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) Probe

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the present study, a biomolecular diagnostic assay based on qPCR‐LNA (Locked Nucleic Acid) probes was developed for the identification of Agrilus anxius (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) from adult insects. The performance of the new protocol was also evaluated for indirect diagnosis of the insect's presence on artificially contaminated frass.

Experimental Challenge of Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) With Tenacibaculum maritimum and Tenacibaculum dicentrarchi Fulfils Koch's Postulates

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The bacterial skin disease tenacibaculosis, caused by Tenacibaculum species, affects numerous economically important marine fish, including salmonids. This study reports the ability of three Tenacibaculum maritimum strains, belonging to different molecular O‐AGC types, and a single Tenacibaculum dicentrarchi strain to induce tenacibaculosis in
