Abstract

Chemical-based interventions are mostly used to control insects that are harmful to human health and agriculture or that simply cause a nuisance. An overreliance on these insecticides however raises concerns for the environment, human health, and the development of resistance, not only in the target species. As such, there is a critical need for the development of novel nonchemical technologies to control insects. Electrocution traps using UV light as an attractant are one classical nonchemical approach to insect control but lack the specificity necessary to target only pest insects and to avoid harmless or beneficial species. Here we review the fundamental physics behind electric fields (EFs) and place them in context with electromagnetic fields more broadly. We then focus on how novel uses of strong EFs, some of which are being piloted in the field and laboratory, have the potential to repel, capture, or kill (electrocute) insects without the negative side effects of other classical approaches. As EF-insect science remains in its infancy, we provide recommendations for future areas of research in EF-insect science.

利用电场控制昆虫:当前应用和未来方向。
以化学为基础的干预措施大多用于控制对人类健康和农业有害或仅造成滋扰的昆虫。然而,对这些杀虫剂的过度依赖会引发对环境、人类健康的担忧,并导致抗药性的产生,不仅是目标物种。因此,亟需开发新型非化学技术来控制昆虫。使用紫外线作为引诱剂的电击诱捕器是一种经典的非化学昆虫控制方法,但缺乏必要的特异性,只能针对害虫,而无法避免无害或有益的物种。在此,我们回顾了电场(EF)背后的基础物理学,并将其与更广泛的电磁场联系起来。然后,我们将重点关注强电场的新用途(其中一些正在野外和实验室中试用)如何具有驱赶、捕捉或杀死(电击)昆虫的潜力,而不会产生其他传统方法的负面影响。由于昆虫电场科学仍处于起步阶段,我们对昆虫电场科学的未来研究领域提出了建议。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Insect Science was founded with support from the University of Arizona library in 2001 by Dr. Henry Hagedorn, who served as editor-in-chief until his death in January 2014. The Entomological Society of America was very pleased to add the Journal of Insect Science to its publishing portfolio in 2014. The fully open access journal publishes papers in all aspects of the biology of insects and other arthropods from the molecular to the ecological, and their agricultural and medical impact.
