Age-specific and lifetime behavior patterns in Drosophila melanogaster and the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata
(2006)Patterns of behavior were recorded every 10 min during a 2-h period each day from eclosion to death for individual Drosophila melanogaster (both sexes) and Ceratitis capitata (males-only) including walking, preening, ... -
Characteristics of Farm Injuries in Greece
(2003)Methodology: During a five-year period (1996-2000), 4,326 unintentional farm injuries have been recorded by the Emergency Department Injury Surveillance System in Greece. Data concerning demographic variables, accident ... -
Competition between Prostephanus truncatus and Sitophilus oryzae on maize: the species that gets there first matters
(2022)Laboratory tests were carried out in order to examine the population growth of Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) (Coleoptera: Bostrychidae) and Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on maize. These two species ... -
Effect of vent opening and insect screens on greenhouse microclimate distribution
(2006)The objective of this work was to experimentally investigate the influence of vent type (side, roof or both) and of an anti-aphid insect screen on airflow and temperature distribution of a mono span greenhouse round arch ... -
Effect of Vent Openings and Insect Screens on Greenhouse Ventilation
(2006)The objective of this work was to experimentally investigate the influence of vent type (side, roof or both) and of an anti-aphid insect screen used to prevent insect intrusion on the ventilation rate of a round arch with ... -
Efficacy of Modified Atmospheres on Trogoderma granarium (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) and Sitophilus zeamais (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(2019)We investigated the efficacy of two types of modified atmospheres (MA) against adults of the khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium Everts, and the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky, under laboratory conditions. ... -
Estimating long-term spatial distribution of Plodia interpunctella in various food facilities at Rajshahi Municipality, Bangladesh, through pheromone-baited traps
(2022)The Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), feeds on a wide range of commodities in most regions of the world. The present study presents six years of monitoring data for P. interpunctella in pheromone-baited ... -
Functional expression of mammalian opioid receptors in insect cells and high-throughput screening platforms for receptor ligand mimetics
(2005)Lepidopteran cell lines have been engineered to constitutively express high levels of mouse δ opioid receptors either alone or in combination with human Gα16 protein. Biochemical and pharmacological studies demonstrate ... -
Genetic variation of Marchalina hellenica (Hemiptera: Margarodidae) sampled from different hosts and localities in Greece
(2003)Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was applied to 120 individuals of Marchalina hellenica (Gennadius) representing six populations collected in northern, central and southern mainland Greece. One population ... -
Health Hazards Associated with Arthropod Infestation of Stored Products
(2018)Insects and mites are common inhabitants and accidental invaders of food, including durable commodities, and their presence can have both direct and indirect effects on human health. The most common direct effect is ... -
Insecticidal effect and impact of fitness of three diatomaceous earths on different maize hybrids for the eco-friendly control of the invasive stored-product pest Prostephanus truncatus (Horn)
(2018)Diatomaceous earths (DEs) are able to successfully protect grain commodities from noxious stored-product insect and mite infestations; however, their effectiveness may be moderated by the grain hybrid or variety they are ... -
Insecticidal Effect of Phosphine on Eggs of the Khapra Beetle (Coleoptera: Dermestidae)
(2021)Trogoderma granarium Everts (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) is one of the most important quarantine pests of stored grains. Control of this insect species can be achieved through a gaseous insecticide, phosphine. Many studies ... -
Insecticidal efficacy of six new pyrrole derivatives against four stored-product pests
(2019)Several pyrrole derivatives exhibit insecticidal activity and can be effective as grain protectants. In the present study, we evaluate the insecticidal efficacy of six novel pyrrole derivatives, namely methyl 3-(methylth ... -
'Insects as Food and Feed: If You Can't Beat Them, Eat Them!' - To the Magnificent Seven and Beyond
(2021)The objective of this special issue is to highlight the current state of research in the field of insects as food and feed, but also other aspects on the exploitation of insect farming. In this editorial, we make a short ... -
Knockdown-Mortality Responses of Six Stored-Product Beetle Species on Different Surfaces Treated With Thiamethoxam, Using a Standardized Lethality Index
(2021)Bioassays were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of thiamethoxam in different surfaces, against six stored-grain insects, Sitophilus granarius (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (Coleoptera: ... -
Microsatellite analysis of olive fly populations in the mediterranean indicates a westward expansion of the species
(2005)Bactrocera oleae is the major insect pest of the olive fruit. Twelve microsatellite loci isolated from the genome of this insect were used in a Mediterranean-wide population analysis. These loci were highly polymorphic ... -
Scaling recovery of susceptible and resistant stored product insects after short exposures to phosphine by using automated video-tracking software
(2021)BACKGROUND: Phosphine-susceptible or resistant populations of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) and Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostrychidae) adults were exposed to 0 (control), 1000 and ... -
Testing against umbrella or tree orderings for binomial proportions with an adaptation of an insect resistance case
