Insect‐specific viruses used in biocontrol of mosquito‐borne diseases

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Insect‐specific RNA viruses (ISRVs) are involved in a wide range of families including Flaviviridae, Bunyaviridae, Negeviruses, Togaviridae, Reoviridae, Mesoniviridae, and Rhabdoviridae, which cannot infect vertebrates, including humans. However, ISRVs can infect and replicate in mosquitoes, interfering with the replication of mosquito‐borne viruses ...

The distribution of covert microbial natural enemies of a globally invasive crop pest, fall armyworm, in Africa: Enemy release and spillover events

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 91, Issue 9, Page 1826-1841, September 2022., 2022
The infection of the invasive fall armyworm, with a natural enemy from its native range and novel pathogens from its new range, has important consequences for understanding the population ecology of invasive species and virus–insect interactions. The authors show that temporal and geographic factors are also important in understanding the distribution ...

Plant defense metabolites influence the interaction between an insect herbivore and an entomovirus [PDF]

open access: yes
The tri-trophic interaction of plants, insect herbivores, and entomoviruses is an important topic in ecology and pest control. The susceptibility of insect herbivores to entomoviruses (e.g., nucleopolyhedroviruses) is influenced by host plants; however ...

Resource limitation has a limited impact on the outcome of virus–fungus co‐infection in an insect host

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022
Little is known about how variation in host resource quantity affects pathogen co‐infections. Here, we show that changes in dietary quantity do not alter mortality in mixed pathogen infections in an insect host. However, a virus and a fungus did respond differently to changes in host nutritional status through subtle changes in duration of infection ...

An Integrated Eco‐Epidemiological Plant Pest Natural Enemy Differential Equation Model with Various Impulsive Strategies

open access: yesMathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
We established a mathematical model based on the sense of biological survey in the field of agriculture and introduced various control methods on how to prevent the crops from destructive pests. Basically, there are two main stages in the life cycle of natural enemies like insects: mature and immature.

The History of Baculovirology in Africa

open access: yesViruses, 2023
Baculovirology has been studied on the African continent for the development of insect virus-based biopesticides and, to a much lesser extent, vaccine production and delivery, since the 1960s.

Interactions between baculoviruses and entomophagous insects

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2020
Some laboratory studies revealed that predators can readily attack and consume virus-infected prey with no detrimental effects on their biological parameters. Most tested predacious species did not discriminate between healthy and virus-infected prey. In

Integrated Analysis of MicroRNA and mRNA Expression Profiles in the Fat Bodies of MbMNPV-Infected Helicoverpa armigera

open access: yesViruses, 2022
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), are a novel class of gene expression regulators, that have been found to participate in regulating host–virus interactions. However, the function of insect-derived miRNAs in response to virus infection is poorly understood.
