Long‐term population dynamics of western tent caterpillars: History, trends and causes of cycles
The length and in‐depth nature of this population study make it unique. It represents perhaps the most extensive monitoring of viral infection in a wild insect population. We have used laboratory and field experiments to test many hypotheses about mechanisms that potentially impact the dynamics of this cyclic species.

Stress in dipteran insects mass‐reared for sterile insect technique applications
The connections between biotic and abiotic stress affecting mass‐reared dipteran insects and the associated stress and immunological responses. Numbers indicate the order in which the topics are discussed in this review. Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism.

ABSTRACT Many ant species show dramatic shifts in behaviour when infected with parasites, but the molecular basis of these behavioural changes is not well understood. An example is the wood ant, Formica aserva, which serves as an intermediate host for the lancet liver fluke, Dicrocoelium dendriticum.

Promising Prodiginins Biological Activities
ABSTRACT Prodiginins are a large family of at least 34 pyrrolic compounds, including the well‐studied red pigment prodigiosin. Prodiginins are produced by several microorganisms displaying broad biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive activities.

The infectivity and host range of Orgyia anartoides nucleopolyhedrovirus
The painted apple moth (PAM), Teia anartoides (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) made a recent incursion into New Zealand. A nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV), Orgyia anartoides NPV (OranNPV), originally isolated from PAM in Australia, was tested for its ...

Molecular characterization of the Neodiprion abietis nucleopolyhedrovirus [PDF]
Baculoviruses are a large, diverse family of viruses that are pathogenic for Arthropods, particularly members or the Order Insecta. These viruses are comprised of large enveloped rod-shaped capsids that contain supercoiled, double-stranded DNA genomes ...
