Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration

Ecography, EarlyView.
Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.

Baculovirus-Based Biocontrol: Synergistic and Antagonistic Interactions of PxGV, PxNPV, SeMNPV, and SfMNPV in Integrative Pest Management

Viruses
The use of chemical pesticides in agriculture has led to the development of resistant pest populations, posing a challenge to long-term pest management.

Navigating the future of nano‐pesticides: A perspective on design, efficacy, mechanisms, and environmental stewardship

iMeta, EarlyView.
Nano‐pesticides are driving a paradigm shift toward sustainable plant protection. This review systematically synthesizes recent advances across four interconnected domains: (i) intelligent formulation design for targeted delivery and controlled release; (ii) interfacial behavior regulation to enhance foliar deposition; (iii) multi‐omics elucidation of ...

The chemical ecology of armyworms [PDF]

, 2013
Moths of the genus Spodoptera are economically important pest insects. The necessity to develop novel control strategies which may be included in integrated pest management schemes has led to the study of chemical communication in several species within ...

Insecticidal Activity of Synthetic Amides on Spodoptera frugiperda

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 2006
The phytochemistry of the genus Piper (Piperaceae) has been widely studied due to the biological properties of amides from these plants. In this work, we have synthesized and evaluated the toxic effect of 11 amides against the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda larvae. The naturally occurring piperine was also evaluated.

Media‐dependent performance of rabies virus‐like particle production under low oxygen tension in baculovirus‐infected Sf9 cells

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Rabies continues to pose a major public health threat, causing approximately 59 000 deaths each year, especially in regions with limited resources where high costs restrict vaccine access. Safer and scalable vaccine platforms, such as virus‐like particles, are promising alternatives, but their production is highly sensitive to ...

Inhibition of Spodoptera frugiperda phenoloxidase activity by the products of the Xenorhabdus rhabduscin gene cluster.

PLoS ONE, 2019
We evaluated the impact of bacterial rhabduscin synthesis on bacterial virulence and phenoloxidase inhibition in a Spodoptera model. We first showed that the rhabduscin cluster of the entomopathogenic bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila was not necessary ...

Spodoptera frugiperda (fall armyworm). [PDF]

, 2020
Abstract The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, is a lepidopteran pest that feeds in large numbers on the leaves, stems and reproductive parts of more than 350 plant species, causing major damage to economically important cultivated grasses such as maize, rice, sorghum, sugarcane and wheat but also other vegetable crops and cotton.

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...
