Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors
Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 1, January 2026.Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

Modeling Control of Invasive Fire Ants by Gene Drive
Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 46, December 11, 2025.The fire ant Solenopsis invicta is characterized by exceptional invasive capabilities, rendering conventional control ineffective. Here, we explore the use of homing suppression gene drive in fire ants by developing a spatially explicit model. Overall, these results show that target population suppression requires an extended time scale, but that gene ...

Egg parasitoid exploitation of plant volatiles induced by single or concurrent attack of a zoophytophagous predator and an invasive phytophagous pest [PDF]
, 2019 Zoophytophagous insect predators can induce physiological responses in plants by activating defence signalling pathways, but whether plants can respond to facultative phytophagy by recruiting natural enemies remains to be investigated.

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.We assembled four Cardinium hertigii draft genomes: cEina3 causes cytoplasmic incompatibility, cEhis1 induces parthenogenesis, cEper2 is associated with parthenogenesis, and cEina2 infects asymptomatically. All four strains are closely related and hosted by Encarsia parasitoid wasps, but key differences exist, including their metabolic potential and ...

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.Optimized submerged fermentation of Clonostachys rosea under high aeration enhances production of submerged conidia and microsclerotia. Formulated propagules and antifungal metabolites, including sorbicillinoids, effectively control tomato gray mold, offering a promising strategy for biocontrol product development.

PLoS ONE, 2019 Horticulturalists and gardeners in temperate regions often claim that planting marigolds next to tomato plants protects the tomatoes from the glasshouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood). If shown to hold true, this technique could be used in

Small RNAs from Bemisia tabaci are transferred to Solanum lycopersicum phloem during feeding
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 The phloem-feeding whitefly Bemisia tabaci is a serious pest to a broad range of host plants, including many economically important crops such as tomato. These insects serve as a vector for various devastating plant viruses.
