Aedes aegypti lines for combined sterile insect technique and incompatible insect technique applications: the importance of host genomic background
(2020)Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae), being the primary vector of pathogenic arboviruses, is a target for the development of novel genetic approaches to complement current conventional vector control strategies such as ... -
Age structure changes and extraordinary lifespan in wild medfly populations
(2008)The main purpose of this study was to test the hypotheses that major changes in age structure occur in wild populations of the Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly) and that a substantial fraction of individuals survive to ... -
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1B1: Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel mitochondrial acetaldehyde-metabolizing enzyme
(2010)Ethanol-induced damage is largely attributed to its toxic metabolite, acetaldehyde. Clearance of acetaldehyde is achieved by its oxidation, primarily catalyzed by the mitochondrial class II aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2). ... -
Are insect meals prone to insect infestation during storage? Development of major storage insects on substrates based on Tenebrio molitor larvae meal
(2020)Insect meal is a new agricultural commodity that will be produced in huge quantities in the near future and will be treated as all traditional agricultural commodities, i.e., insects will be harvested, processed, transported ... -
Assessment of different inert dust formulations for the control of Sitophilus oryzae, Tribolium confusum and Aphis fabae
(2020)The necessity to ensure the quality of food by simultaneously reducing the environmental footprint due to the extensive use of convectional insecticides has led to an increase in the efforts towards the development of ... -
Bioassays with diatomaceous earth formulations: Effect of species co-occurrence, size of vials and application technique
(2012)Two series of laboratory bioassays were carried out in order to evaluate the effect of the simultaneous presence of two insect species inside the experimental vials and the effect of different sizes (50, 65, 90, 145 mm in ... -
Biological activity of two new pyrrole derivatives against stored-product species: Influence of temperature and relative humidity
(2016)Members of the pyrrole group are likely to have interesting properties that merit additional investigation as insecticides at the post-harvest stages of agricultural commodities. In the present work, the insecticidal effect ... -
Combined toxicity of cannabidiol oil with three bio-pesticides against adults of sitophilus zeamais, rhyzopertha dominica, prostephanus truncatus and trogoderma granarium
(2020)The present study investigates the interaction between cannabidiol (CBD) oil and three biopesticides: Azatin and two baculovirus formulations (Madex and Helicovex), both separately and in combination, in order to investigate ... -
Cost of reproduction in male medflies: The primacy of sexual courting in extreme longevity reduction
(2010)In polygynous insect species, male reproductive success is directly related to lifetime mating success. However, the costs for males of sexual activities such as courting, signaling, and mating are largely unknown. We ... -
The effect of insect meal as a feed ingredient on survival, growth, and metabolic and antioxidant response of juvenile prawn Palaemon adspersus (Rathke, 1837)
(2020)For successful prawn aquaculture, feeds should be based on readily consumed ingredients that promote survival and optimal growth performance. This pilot study investigates the rearing of juvenile Baltic prawn Palaemon ... -
Effect of nitrogen in combination with elevated temperatures on insects, microbes and organoleptic characteristics of stored currants
(2017)In the present study, the effect of nitrogen, applied as a controlled atmosphere treatment on the microbial and entomological loads, as well as on the organoleptic characteristics of stored dried currants (Corinthian ... -
Effect of the combined application of microencapsulated synthetic oviposition pheromone (MSP) with different larvicidal agents on the oviposition of Culex pipiens biotype molestus
(2018)BACKGROUND: Attract-and-kill strategies, in which a behavior-modifying stimulus (e.g. a pheromone) is integrated with a pest control agent, have lately attracted increased interest for mosquito control. Previously, it was ... -
Effects of electric infrared heating with light source penetration on microbial and entomological loads of dried currants and their organoleptic characteristics
(2016)A series of field bioassays was conducted to evaluate the effects of electric infrared (IR) penetration on microbial disinfection and insect control as well as on the organoleptic characteristics of dried black currants ... -
The effects of geographic origin and antibiotic treatment on the gut symbiotic communities of Bactrocera oleae populations
(2019)The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is the major insect pest of olive orchards (Olea europaea L.), causing extensive damages on cultivated olive crops worldwide. Due to its economic ... -
Efficacy of low temperatures for the control of all life stages of Plodia interpunctella and Liposcelis bostrychophila
(2018)The insecticidal effect of low temperatures for the control of all life stages of two stored-product insects, Plodia interpunctella and Liposcelis bostrychophila, was evaluated under laboratory conditions. The temperatures ... -
Efficiency of physical means of IPM on insect population control in greenhouse crops
(2011)The efficiency of insect screens and photoselective covering materialson insect population control was experimentally evaluated. The experiments were performed from 2000 to 2004 in three greenhouse tomato, PE-covered ... -
Electronic traps for detection and population monitoring of adult fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(2018)During the last decades, the economic importance of tephritid fruit flies (FF) has increased worldwide because of recurrent invasions and expansions into new areas, and reduced control capabilities of current control ... -
Erratum to: Laboratory evaluation of five novel pyrrole derivatives as grain protectants against Tribolium confusum and Ephestia kuehniella larvae (Journal of Pest Science, (2017), 90, 2, (569-585), 10.1007/s10340-016-0808-x)
