Comparison of hemocytes of 5th-instar nymphs of Rhodnius prolixus (Stal) and Rhodnius robustus (Larousse 1927), before and after molting

Revista de la Facultad de Medicina, 2015
Background. The immune response of insects involves humoral factors and cellular elements known as hemocytes. There are different reports that explore the response of hemocytes to infections, but the effect that molting has on this response has not been

Source of Moulting Hormone in Rhodnius [PDF]

Nature, 1951
THE immediate source of the hormone which induces moulting in the larvae and pupae of Lepidoptera is the prothoracic gland1. But this gland is itself activated by a secretion from neuro-secretory cells in the dorsum of the brain2. It has seemed probable for some time that a similar two-stage control of moulting might exist in other insects3; and ...

Ingestive behaviour and physiology of the medicinal leech [PDF]

, 1988
Ingestion lasts 25 min in Hirudo medicinalis and is characterized by pharyngeal peristalsis which fills the crop. This peristalsis has an initial rate of 2.4 Hz which decays smoothly to 1.2 Hz at termination of ingestion. During ingestion, the leech body

DmCatD, a cathepsin D-like peptidase of the hematophagous insect Dipetalogaster maxima (Hemiptera: Reduviidae): Purification, bioinformatic analyses and the significance of its interaction with lipophorin in the internalization by developing oocytes [PDF]

, 2018
DmCatD, a cathepsin D-like peptidase of the hematophagous insect Dipetalogaster maxima, is synthesized by the fat body and the ovary and functions as yolk protein precursor. Functionally, DmCatD is involved in vitellin proteolysis.

Morin hydrate reduces survival and fertility, delays development and weakens lipid reserves in Aedes aegypti

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 592-602, September 2025.
Morin hydrate promoted mortality and reduced the rate of pupation and egg laying in Aedes aegypti larvae that survive treatment. Morin hydrate reduces the levels of triacylglycerol, the main lipid reserve in A. aegypti larvae. The expression of proteins involved in lipogenesis and lipolysis was downregulated and upregulated, respectively, in larvae ...

RNA‐Based Biopesticides: Pioneering Precision Solutions for Sustainable Aquaculture in China

Animal Research and One Health, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 165-176, May 2025.
The Chinese dragon represents RNA biopesticides, which effectively counteract bacterial, viral, and parasitic threats, safeguarding aquatic life. This method is precise, focusing solely on harmful agents and sparing beneficial aquaculture species. Its innovative nature protects aquatic environments while reducing ecological footprint.

The cryptonephridial/rectal complex: an evolutionary adaptation for water and ion conservation

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 647-671, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Arthropods have integrated digestive and renal systems, which function to acquire and maintain homeostatically the substances they require for survival. The cryptonephridial complex (CNC) is an evolutionary novelty in which the renal organs and gut have been dramatically reorganised. Parts of the renal or Malpighian tubules (MpTs) form a close
