Potential of the Predatory Mites Gamasellodes lavafesii (Mesostigmata: Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) on Different Soil Pests/Parasites and Alternative Prey for Large‐Scale Rearing

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many species of Mesostigmata soil mites have potential as biological control agents of pests/parasites. This study evaluated the predation potential of two of these species, Gamasellodes lavafesii (Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Laelapidae).

Comparative efficacy and studies of mode of action of minerals from diatoms against three species of filth flies

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Mortality for diatomaceous earth was observed as early as 2 h after exposure with 50% and 90% mortality at 3.5 and 4.6 h (LT50 and LT90, respectively) for Musca domestica. The LT50 and LT90 increased when the size of the fly species increased (M. domestica to Cochliomyia macellaria to Sarcophaga bullata) and increased for all three from 50 to 70 ...

An Auto‐Activated NLR‐Protein OsRGA3D605V Confers Rice Triple Resistance and Deactivates Resistance After Phosphorylation by OsILA1

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The incidence of pests and diseases seriously impacts rice production, and NLR genes play a crucial role in the regulation of immune signalling in rice. Here, we identified an NLR gene OsRGA3 that positively regulates rice resistance to brown planthopper (BPH) and rice blast disease (RBD).
