Further contributions to the tritrophic plant-aphid-parasitoid associations in Malta with special reference to Aphis nerii (Hemiptera, Aphidoidea) as a prevalent refugium of Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Four species of aphid parasitoids, namely Aphidius colemani, Binodoxys angelicae, Lysiphlebus fabarum and Lysiphlebus testaceipes were reared from Aphis nerii on Nerium oleander and/or Stephanotis floribunda in Malta.

Hemocytes: Central drivers of antimicrobial peptide expression and immune proteins in both cellular and humoral responses of Galleria mellonella

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We assessed gallerimycin, galiomycin, and hemolin gene expression in Galleria mellonella whole larvae, hemocytes, and fat body at 4 and 24 h post‐injection of Candida albicans and silica beads. Higher gallerimycin and galiomycin expression in hemocytes signified their role in antimicrobial peptide synthesis.

Right combination of host instar and parasitoid age optimizes mass production of Tamarixia lyciumi, the nymphal parasitoid of goji berry psyllid Bactericera gobica

open access: yesJournal of Agriculture and Food Research
Goji berries are widely renowned for their nutritional and medicinal properties and are typically sold as dried fruit for their long shelf-life. Tamarixia lyciumi Yang is a nymphal parasitoid of the psyllid Bactericera gobica Loginova, a destructive pest

Invasive insect genetics: Start codon targeted (SCoT) markers provide superior data to describe genetic diversity of brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys, in a newly colonized region

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
In this study, we assessed the genetic diversity of Halyomorpha halys, an invasive agricultural pest, in Türkiye using start codon targeted (SCoT) markers and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences. SCoT markers revealed high polymorphism (91.4%) and six genetic clusters among 71 specimens from 12 provinces, with Trabzon showing ...

Developing of artificial fruits to assess ovipositional responses of Drosophila suzukii under laboratory conditions

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is an invasive pest of soft‐skinned fruits. Using fresh fruits to test pesticides and repellents against this pest has certain limitations. In the present study, we evaluated nine different artificial fruits prepared from various food‐based mixtures as oviposition substrates for D. suzukii.
