Control of two sucking insect pests, a whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and a thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis), infesting hot peppers by spraying LDH‐formulated dsRNA

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 8163-8178, December 2025.
A vacuolar type ATPase subunit B (vATPase‐B) gene is identified and expressed in the midgut of Bemisia tabaci and Frankliniella occidentalis. The double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) specific to vATPase‐B was expressed in hot peppers by virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) and killed both whitefly and thrips.

Evaluation of temefos and pyriproxyfen to control Aedes aegypti larvae in laboratory conditions

open access: yesHorizonte Médico, 2017
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of temefos versus pyriproxyfen at different doses (0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 and 0.05 ppb) to control Aedes aegypti larvae in laboratory conditions.

Assessment of the susceptibility status of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) populations to pyriproxyfen and malathion in a nation-wide monitoring of insecticide resistance performed in Brazil from 2017 to 2018

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Chemical mosquito control using malathion has been applied in Brazil since 1985. To obtain chemical control effectiveness, vector susceptibility insecticide monitoring is required.

Development and evaluation of a novel contamination device that targets multiple life-stages of Aedes aegypti. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: The increasing global threat of Dengue demands new and easily applicable vector control methods. Ovitraps provide a low-tech and inexpensive means to combat Dengue vectors.

Lessons learned exploiting a multi‐year large‐scale data set derived from operational quality assessment of mosquito larval treatments in rain catch basins

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 6630-6638, October 2025.
Results highlight opposite associations between percentages of positive rain catch basins treated with diflubenzuron and Bacillus against mosquito larvae and/or pupae and the intervals between treatments and inspections, and spatial variability in vector control.

MODELING THE EFFECT OF SPATIAL EXTERNALITIES ON INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENT [PDF]

open access: yes
Changes in production conditions associated with biological invasions can be complex. As a result, modeling invasive species management decisions can be difficult.

Micropollutants and Their Interactions With Relevant Environmental Viruses

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2025.
Environmental micropollutants increase virus stability. ABSTRACT Emerging pollutants encompass a diverse array of chemicals classified as micropollutants, including pharmaceuticals and microplastics (MPs). Viruses are known to adsorb onto MPs, including binding to bacterial biofilms that form the plastisphere.

Effectiveness of Pyriproxyfen and Diflubenzuron Formulations as Larvicides Against Aedes aegypti

open access: yesJournal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2008
The efficacy of technical pyriproxyfen and diflubenzuron was evaluated at the laboratory level against Aedes aegypti, where we achieved adult emergence inhibition (EI50) values of 0.048 and 1.59 ppb (microg/liter), respectively. We compared these data with values obtained for temephos.

Pyriproxyfen Contamination in Daphnia magna: Identifying Early Warning Biomarkers

open access: yesJournal of Xenobiotics
Pyriproxyfen is an insecticide currently employed in numerous countries for the management of agricultural and indoor pests. Several studies indicate that this insecticide has been detected in multiple rivers, with concentrations reaching as high as 99.59 ng/L in the Júcar River in Spain.
