Field validation of blow fly age estimation methods for determining time of placement of human remains in Tennessee, USA

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Forensic entomology currently represents one of the best approaches for estimating the minimum postmortem interval (PMIMIN) in medicolegal death investigations given certain parameters and assumptions are met. However, validation of standard estimation methods used in this field are few and far between.

Silencing of juvenile hormone‐related genes through RNA interference leads to molt failure and high mortality in the spongy moth

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The feasibility of using RNA interference to control the globally important quarantine pest, the spongy moth. Targeting genes related to JHs play an important role in the growth and development of insects. First, the open reading frames (ORFs) of Ldjhamt and Ldjheh were identified and characterized, and the target genes were cloned and double‐stranded ...

Maltase 1 regulates DENV2 infection and life history in Aedes aegypti

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Our study employed CRISPR/Cas9 to generate a MAL1 knockout strain of Aedes aegypti, demonstrating that the absence of MAL1 significantly suppresses DENV2 replication in the midgut and impairs viral transmission. The mutation also altered life‐history (hatching/pupation/emerging rates and sex‐specific survival), identifying MAL1 as a novel target for ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Reduced fertilization regimes could boost biocontrol service without reducing crop yield

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Fertilization level influences pest control effectiveness in tomato crops. High fertilization increases plant growth and aphid density but reduces the performance of the parasitoid Aphidius ervi. In contrast, the predator Adalia bipunctata maintains consistent aphid suppression regardless of fertilization regime.
