Edible Insect Allergens: An Emerging Food Safety Challenge
Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.Allergic responses to edible insects arise via two main pathways: cross‐reactivity with homologous arthropod allergens and primary sensitization to edible insect proteins, both leading to IgE‐mediated immune activation. ABSTRACT Edible insects are increasingly promoted as sustainable protein sources; however, their allergenic potential remains a ...

EFFECT OF SPINOSAD AND CONSULT AND THEIR MIXTURE ON THE FIFTH NYMPHAL INSTAR OF DESERT LOCUST Schistocerca gregaria (FORSK.) [PDF]
Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2014 Laboratory studies were carried out in an attempt to disclose the effect of a bio-insecticide (Spinosad), and IGR (consult) and their mixture at different concentrations (19 ppm), (123 ppm) and (9ppm of spinosad+52 ppm of consult), respectively on one ...

The use of edible insects in human food
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5775-5787, 15 August 2026.Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Control of Head Movement in the Locust, Schistocerca Gregaria [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1974 ABSTRACT Head movement in the locust Schistocerca gregaria is mediated by 14 pairs of muscles. The normal motor output to many of these muscles has been investigated in the intact insect by recording with two intracellular microelectrodes from different fibres of a muscle during slow and fast phases of optokinetic nystagmus elicited by ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.We investigated whether adult sex ratio (ASR) induces transgenerational plasticity in the dung beetle Onthophagus taurus via germline transmission or behavioral parental investment. Although varying ASR treatments significantly altered parental contest and courtship behaviors, utilizing a novel egg‐transplantation protocol revealed no ASR‐induced ...

Susceptibility to experimental infection of the invertebrate locusts (Schistocerca gregaria) with the apicomplexan parasite Neospora caninum [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 Neuropathogenesis is a feature of Neospora caninum infection. In order to explore this in the absence of acquired host immunity to the parasite, we have tested infection in locusts (Schistocerca gregaria).
