Nutribloods: Novel synthetic lepidopteran haemolymphs for understanding insect–microbe nutritional interactions in vitro

Physiological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 264-276, September 2025.
We design 20 cell‐free ‘nutribloods’ based on the known composition of Spodoptera littoralis haemolymph for insects fed on 20 chemically defined diets varying in protein and carbohydrate levels. We then compared the growth of the blood‐borne insect bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila in these 20 nutribloods.

Master of Puppets: How Microbiota Drive the Nematoda Ecology and Evolution?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
The nematode microbiota can influence life‐history traits, thereby shaping the species' ecology and evolutionary trajectories. ABSTRACT In recent decades, the microbiota has emerged as a key driver of biological functions in metazoans, and nematodes are no exception.

Identifying key parameters for reliable assessment of entomopathogenic nematodes viability as affected by spray application stress‐related factors

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 4799-4809, August 2025.
Commercial entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) were exposed to stress simulating spray application conditions, for viability assessment using different methods. Temperature impacted non‐lethal stress earlier than survival and activity, emphasizing the importance of measuring these parameters to assess pesticide application equipment (PAE) impact on EPN ...

The American cocoa pod borer, Carmenta foraseminis, an emerging pest of cocoa: A review El barrenador americano de la mazorca de cacao, Carmenta foraseminis, una plaga emergente del cacao: una revisión

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 340-356, August 2025.
Abstract This review provides a synthesis of the available knowledge on Carmenta foraseminis, an emerging cocoa pest in northern South America. This moth was first described in 1995 in Panama, and its proliferation across the Amazon basin is currently threatening the production of cocoa in the region and may endanger the sector's sustainability. Hence,

Impact of entomopathogenic nematodes on Africanized honey bees Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae) workers

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2020
Africanized honey bee populations (Apis mellifera L.) have been decreasing mainly due to the intense use of synthetic insecticides associated with pollution and climate change.

Efficacy of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Against Diapausing Larvae of the Truffle Beetle, Leiodes cinnamomeus

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 7, Page 1105-1108, August 2025.
ABSTRACT The truffle beetle, Leiodes cinnamomeus, is the most important pest in black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) plantations. Adults and mycophagous larvae are active during autumn and winter, while diapausing larvae are not. Previous laboratory studies demonstrated the high virulence of the entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) Heterorhabditis ...
