Chemical pesticides play a vital role in dengue control, through combating the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti L. Standard methods recommended by the World Health Organization were applied in the current work to conduct resistance experiments in both adult and larval stages of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes against eight types of pyrethroid and organophosphorus pesticides used in control programs in Jeddah. The results prove that Ae. aegypti is resistant against the pesticides deltamethrin 0.05%, α-cypermethrin 0.05%, fenitrothion 1% and temephos, is tolerant with some degree of resistance against cyfluthrin 0.15% and λ-cyhalothrin 0.5%, as well as tolerant against malathion 5% and pirimiphos-methyl 0.25%. On the other hand, the bacterial insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. israelensis (Bti) demonstrated high activity against the field strain of Aedes aegypti larvae, with a resistance ratio (RR) of 1.25. In general, we conclude from these findings that the continuous and frequent application of synthetic pesticides induces resistance in mosquitoes against pesticides. This, of course, forces us to reconsider the pesticides currently used in control programs and do our best towards finding alternative means to combat mosquitoes and the diseases that they can transmit.","PeriodicalId":11776,"journal":{"name":"Entomological Research","volume":"54 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141967171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As Corythucha ciliata (Say) damages deciduous trees in diverse environments, including urban, suburban and forested regions, the objective of this study was to predict the potential distribution of C. ciliata by developing an ensemble model that comprehensively considered the biological and habitat traits of the pest using the CLIMEX and MaxEnt models. Although the ensemble model did not have significantly improved performance, compared with the single MaxEnt model, it was robust compared with distribution data. Our predictions suggest that C. ciliata will gradually expand its range from its current distribution in response to climate change, necessitating focused monitoring and pest-control efforts in the predicted regions. This study not only evaluates pest distribution but also provides crucial insights into effective control strategies, which are adaptable to other pest management scenarios.","PeriodicalId":11776,"journal":{"name":"Entomological Research","volume":"54 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1748-5967.12756","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141596940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

White-spotted flower chafer (Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis; PBS) extract, which is used for medicinal purposes, appears to be effective in improving blood circulation. However, few studies have investigated the efficacy of PBS extract in improving blood circulation. Here, we investigated the effects of PBS extract on serum cholesterol metabolites (total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) and anticoagulant activities (prothrombin time [PT], activated partial thromboplastin time [aPTT], and fibrinogen [Fib]) in very-high-fat diet (VHFD)-induced hyperlipidemic rats. The experimental groups comprised a control group that was not treated with PBS and five PBS treatment groups (50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 mg/kg) in a randomized complete block design. In the efficacy evaluation for health functionality to reduce cholesterol levels, no beneficial effects on serum cholesterol metabolites were observed in the control and PBS treatment groups. In addition, the cholesterol data indicated that the effect of the PBS extract was not related to antioxidant activity. Moreover, the PT, aPPT, and Fib values were prolonged by increasing the PBS extract concentration, and PBS extract concentrations of 150–250 mg/kg were recommended for the VHFD model based on the anticoagulant activity. In conclusion, the PBS extract can be used in a potential therapeutic strategy for improving anticoagulant activity rather than improving the serum cholesterol profile.","PeriodicalId":11776,"journal":{"name":"Entomological Research","volume":"54 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141488393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At present, there are few related studies on spiders' microRNA (miRNA). Consequently, we initiate a study on miR-6826-3p in P. pseudoannulata in response to high temperatures. First, we identified a total of 686 target genes of miR-6826-3p, 439 target genes had annotated results in the database, primarily involved in transcription and metabolism functions. Subsequently, quantitative real-time PCR was employed to assess the relative expression levels of miR-6826-3p in P. pseudoannulata under different temperatures (31, 34, 37, 40°C) and various durations (1, 2, 4, 8, 12 h). The results revealed that compared to the control group (25°C), the relative expression level of miR-6826-3p in female spiders significantly increased under the same temperature and different duration stresses. The expression level of miR-6826-3p in male spiders showed an initial increase followed by a decrease trend, with relatively lower expression levels after 1 and 12 h at the same temperature conditions. Furthermore, under the same duration of stress, compared to the control group (25°C), the relative expression level of miR-6826-3p in female spiders significantly increased at different temperatures. These results demonstrate that P. pseudoannulata miR-6826-3p plays a significant role in response to high-temperature stress. The research findings can provide a basis for future in-depth studies on the miRNA functional of P. pseudoannulata, aiding in the elucidation of the regulatory mechanisms of P. pseudoannulata miRNAs in response to high-temperature environments.","PeriodicalId":11776,"journal":{"name":"Entomological Research","volume":"54 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141430202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, we investigated the expression patterns of viruses in the venom glands over time following capture. Honeybee-infecting viruses, including the black queen cell virus (BQCV), the deformed wing virus (DWV) and the Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV), were highly expressed in the venom glands of Apis mellifera and social wasps. This finding suggests that the venom of bees and wasps is likely to contain these viruses, which can be transmitted horizontally between species through stinger use. Apis mellifera exhibited an increasing pattern of abundance levels for BQCV, DWV, IAPV and Triatovirus, whereas the social wasp Vespa crabro showed increasing abundance levels of IAPV and Triatovirus over different capture periods. This suggests that the venom glands of honeybees and wasps may provide suitable conditions for active viral replication and may be an organ for virus accumulation and transmission. Some viral sequences clearly reflected the phylogeny of aculeate species, implying host-specific virus evolution. On the other hand, other viruses exhibited unique evolutionary patterns of phylogeny, possibly caused by specific ecological interactions. Our study provides insights into the composition and evolutionary properties of viral genes in the venom glands of certain aculeate bees and wasps, as well as the potential horizontal transmission of these viruses among bee and wasp species.","PeriodicalId":11776,"journal":{"name":"Entomological Research","volume":"54 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1748-5967.12752","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141298474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
