Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Both active and passive questing ticks, Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus, were assessed for behavioural responses to two novel plant‐derived repellent volatile organic compound blends. Both tick species were repelled by the products, and both novo blends were significantly more repellent than currently available commercial products.

Arabidopsis Kunitz Trypsin Inhibitors in Defense Against Spider Mites
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Tetranychus urticae (two-spotted spider mite) is a striking example of polyphagy among herbivores with an extreme record of pesticide resistance and one of the most significant pests in agriculture. The T.

The spider mite saga: quest for biorational management strategies [PDF]
, 2004 The losses that growers have to absorb due to spider mites can be very discouraging. In spite of the use of acaricides which has understandably been short-term, the loss incurred in the Cameron Highlands ranged between 10-50% annually. The spider mite is

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Varroa destructor mites exposed to dsRNA specific in sequence to a V. destructor calmodulin gene significantly effected gene expression of adult female mites sampled 5 days after entering a honey bee brood cell to reproduce. Significantly down‐regulated genes included Calmodulin and were associated with calcium ion binding and embryo developmental ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Biological control agents performance is influenced by temperature. Two cold‐tolerant lines of O. loevigatus were developed, improving their fitness at both low and high temperatures, offering advantages far augmentative biological control. Abstract BACKGROUND The performance of biological control agents (BCAs) is strongly influenced by environmental ...

A change in the bacterial community of spider mites decreases fecundity on multiple host plants
MicrobiologyOpen, 2019 Bacterial symbionts may influence the fitness of their herbivore hosts, but such effects have been poorly studied across most invertebrate groups. The spider mite, Tetranychus truncatus, is a polyphagous agricultural pest harboring various bacterial ...
