Spontaneous Resolution of Delusional Infestation Upon Eliminating Social Isolation: A Case Report

JEADV Clinical Practice, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 1171-1173, December 2025.
Capsule summary Delusional infestation (DI) is a fixed belief of parasitic infestation despite contrary evidence. Social isolation may drive DI via dopaminergic dysregulation and altered sensory processing. We report a 79‐year‐old woman whose DI symptoms resolved after relocation to an assisted‐living facility, with her CGI‐S improving from 4 to 2 ...

Molecular basis of permethrin and DDT resistance in an Anopheles funestus population from Benin

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Insecticide resistance in Anopheles mosquitoes is threatening the success of malaria control programmes. In order to implement suitable insecticide resistance management strategies, it is necessary to understand the underlying mechanisms involved.

Insecticides outweigh rye cover crop in triggering secondary pest outbreaks

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 7971-7984, December 2025.
Insecticides outweigh rye cover crop in triggering secondary pest outbreaks. Zeus Mateos‐Fierro*, Ashley Leach, Ian Kaplan. Spider mite and melon aphid outbreaks are enhanced with broad‐spectrum insecticides, while natural enemies are reduced. However, rye cover crop has little effect on either pest or natural enemy populations.

Experimental hut evaluation of bednets treated with an organophosphate (chlorpyrifos-methyl) or a pyrethroid (lambdacyhalothrin) alone and in combination against insecticide-resistant Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes [PDF]

, 2005
BACKGROUND: Pyrethroid resistant mosquitoes are becoming increasingly common in parts of Africa. It is important to identify alternative insecticides which, if necessary, could be used to replace or supplement the pyrethroids for use on treated nets ...

Prediction of mixture toxicity of essential oil constituents using nonparametric and parametric models against Musca domestica L.

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 8595-8606, December 2025.
This study evaluated the predictive performance of mixture toxicity models for binary blends of essential oil constituents against Musca domestica. Parametric models (BRAID, Zimmer, MuSyC) outperformed conventional null models by accounting for synergistic or antagonistic interactions, highlighting the need for model selection based on interaction ...
