Combining in vivo and in vitro approaches to better understand host‐pathogen nutritional interactions

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 4, Page 657-669, April 2025.
This is one of the first studies that use a combination of in vitro and in vivo approaches to tease apart the importance of the ‘top‐down’ and ‘bottom‐up’ effects of host nutrition in determining the outcome of host‐pathogen interactions. Abstract Nutrition often shapes the outcome of host–parasite interactions, however understanding the mechanisms by ...

Insect immunity in the Anthropocene

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 698-723, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic activities result in global change, including climate change, landscape degradation and pollution, that can alter insect physiology and immune defences. These changes may have contributed to global insect decline and the dynamics of insect‐transmitted diseases.

Combining biological control approaches for managing insect crop pests in the field can generate interactive effects

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 26, Issue 4, Page 470-484, November 2024.
Pest control services provided or supported by three species of entomopathogenic nematodes and floral field margins. Counts of adult pest abundance of the swede midge, the cabbage root fly and the cabbage stem flea beetle and assessments of yield and crop damage.

Concentration of suspension and temperature as factors of pathogenicity of entomopathogenic nematodes for the control of granary weevil, Sitophilus granarius (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2005
Efficacy of four species of entomopathogenic nematodes (Steinernema feltiae, S. carpocapsae, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, H. megidis) for the control of granary weevil adults (Sitophilus granarius) was tested under laboratory condition.

Assessment of Azorean native strains of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora for the biological control of Popillia japonica

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 148, Issue 8, Page 977-982, September 2024.
Abstract Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), especially Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, are promising candidates for biological control of Popillia japonica larvae. Thus, there is a need to study native strains to ensure biological agents adapted to specific environmental conditions to improve their effectiveness in field applications. This work aimed to

Isolation and Molecular Identification of Entomopathogenic Nematodes (Steinernema and Heterorhabditis) From East Java and Bali [PDF]

, 2018
Entomopathogenic nematode of the families Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae is one of the best biological control agents of insect pests. Native isolates maybe more efficacious in controlling insect pests than imported ones because they have adapted

Pine wilt disease: A global threat to forestry

Plant Pathology, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1026-1041, June 2024.
This review describes the global impact, biology and management of pine wilt disease and includes interviews with those directly involved in tackling the problem in Portugal. Abstract Pines are the most economically important trees in the world and, together with eucalyptus, they dominate commercial forests. But the success of a relatively small number

Evaluation of the efficacy of Steinernema carpocapsae against the Red Palm Weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus in Phoenix canariensis [PDF]

, 2009
The red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), is an important pest of palms. It has recently colonized the Mediterranean Basin, where it is a serious problem on ornamental Phoenix canariensis (Chabaud) palms.

Pest categorisation of Diaphania indica

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Diaphania indica (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), the cucumber moth for the territory of the European Union (EU), following the commodity risk assessment of Jasminum polyanthum from Uganda, in which D. indica was identified as a pest of possible concern to the European Union. D. indica
