Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 842-850, August 2026.Nymphal development took longer at 25°C than 30°C, and the Greek N. tenuis population developed more slowly than the commercial population. Nymphs clearly preferred E. kuehniella eggs over Artemia sp. cysts when both were offered equally. Egg production increased at 30°C, while female longevity declined.

Efficacy of Select Gene Targets for the Management of Western Flower Thrips Through RNA Interference
Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 3, July 2026.Western flower thrips (WFT) cause extensive damage to crops. RNA interference (RNAi) is being extensively researched for the management of this pest. We successfully demonstrated the uptake of dsRNA by WFT through artificial diet feeding and identified Promising new targets for the development of RNAi‐based pesticides have been identified.

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

A laboratory investigation on virulence of Metarhizium anisopliae on Thrips tabaci (Thys.: Thripidae) and its predator, Orius albidipennis (Hem.: Anthocoridae) [PDF]
نامه انجمن حشرهشناسی ایران, 2010 In the present study, virulence of three isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae (Ascomycota, Clavicipitaceae) were evaluated on the second instar larvae of the onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindman by using spray potter tower at six conidial concentrations of ...

Innate immunity shapes the persistent transmission of plant viruses by insect vectors
New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.In this review, we focus on two key aspects of the virus–vector interplay: (1) persistently transmitted viruses utilize host factors to overcome transmission barriers; and (2) molecular recognition activates antiviral immunity and subsequent viral counter‐defense. Understanding these interactions offers critical insights for developing novel strategies

Investigations into the biology and behaviour of Thrips tabaci L. [PDF]
The onion thrips, Thrips tabaci (Thysanoptera, Thripidae) is a polyphagous pest of Allium crops in the UK and considerable effort and expenditure is employed in its control. Despite this, overall understanding of the biology and behaviour of T. tabaci is

Effect of surfactant on the efficacy of insecticides against onion thrips (Thrips tabaci)
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2016 The present experiment was carried out with an objective to find out the effect of surfactant on the efficacy of insecticides, because the use of insecticides for the control of onion thrips (Thrips tabaci Lindeman) is relatively less promising due to onion leaf pattern and texture. The minimum thrips population (6.48/plant) and thrips incidence (19.57%
