Microbial symbionts : a resource for the management of insect-related problems [PDF]
, 2011 Microorganisms establish with their animal hosts close interactions. They are involved in many aspects of the host life, physiology and evolution, including nutrition, reproduction, immune homeostasis, defence and speciation.

Chromosome‐scale genome assembly of the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus sp.1
Insect Science, EarlyView.Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 is a major fruit fly pest in Argentina, currently controlled through chemical treatments and traps. This study aims to enhance the genomic understanding of this species to support the development of sterile insect technique as well as the use of innovative technologies.

Evolutionary biology and genetic techniques for insect control [PDF]
, 2015 The requirement to develop new techniques for insect control that minimize negative environmental impacts has never been more pressing. Here we discuss population suppression and population replacement technologies. These include sterile insect technique,

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Natural Wolbachia infection in field-collected Anopheles and other mosquito species from Malaysia
Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Background The endosymbiont bacterium Wolbachia is maternally inherited and naturally infects some filarial nematodes and a diverse range of arthropods, including mosquito vectors responsible for disease transmission in humans.

Selection, counterselection, and conditional gene expression for genetic biocontrol of insects
Insect Science, EarlyView.Selection, counterselection, and conditional expression can be used for sex separation. Selection (S) and counterselection (CS) genes are linked to the sex chromosomes (e.g., the X and Y chromosomes) to confer sex‐specific selection or counterselection based on the presence or absence of the S or CS genes.

Phylogenetic relationships of the Wolbachia of nematodes and arthropods [PDF]
, 2006 Wolbachia are well known as bacterial symbionts of arthropods, where they are reproductive parasites, but have also been described from nematode hosts, where the symbiotic interaction has features of mutualism.

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Avian malaria poses a growing threat to native Hawaiian forest birds as climate change enables its spread into previously disease‐free areas like Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge. This study presents a proactive, tiered disease management plan to help land managers monitor and respond to malaria risk, offering a model for broader conservation ...
