Its larvae feed inside leaf mines or tomato fruits and are difficult to reach with plant protection products. In contrast, entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are highly virulent and can search for larvae. The challenge is to formulate EPNs to remain protected on a sprayed leaf surface until they enter the mines. We tested 11 formulations, including 2 oils, 4 gels or thickeners, 2 surfactants, 2 UV protectants, water, and combinations with and without the EPN Steinernema carpocapsae (Weiser) RW14-G-R3a-2 (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae), under non-closed low-humidity conditions. Six tomato leaf experiments with 1000 EPNs sprayed per leaf showed that EPNs in 0.25 to 0.5% canola oil or in 5% alkyl polyglycoside surfactant were the most effective (26 to 37%). Other formulations and an insecticide had less or no effect. Seven other bioassays showed that most formulations did not adversely affect EPN survival or pathogenicity. We assume that formulations of EPNs can be further improved, such as with other flowable gels or combinations, and encourage investment in the development of practical and economic protective sprayable formulations of EPNs against leaf miners to reduce reliance on chemical insecticides.","PeriodicalId":13642,"journal":{"name":"Insects","volume":"16 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11856193/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143500517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to analyze the species diversity and distribution pattern of grasshoppers on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. A comprehensive database comprising 390 grasshopper species was established through specimen collection, a literature review, and a geographical distribution data analysis. Diversity analysis showed that the diversity of species under the five vegetation types was relatively average. However, the alpine cold vegetation of Qinghai-Tibet and subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest still showed a relatively high Shannon index and Simpson index. Grasshopper species are mainly concentrated in the eastern and southern parts of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The richness pattern showed that grasshopper species diversity was particularly high in certain mountain areas, with Bayankala Mountain and Hengduan Mountain being endemic hotspots. The MaxEnt models were used to assess the potential habitats for four dominant genera of grasshoppers under projected climate change scenarios for 2050 and 2070. Altitude was the factor affecting the distribution of Locusta, Chorthippus, and Kingdonella, while precipitation and temperature were the factors affecting the distribution of Leuconemacris. These findings improve our understanding of the distribution patterns of different grasshopper species across various habitat types on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and provide valuable insights for developing targeted ecological protection strategies in response to environmental changes.","PeriodicalId":13642,"journal":{"name":"Insects","volume":"16 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11856823/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143500174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Defecating on hosts during or shortly after blood feeding is, therefore, critical for transmission, and delayed triatomine defecation behavior has been posited to contribute to a low incidence of human Chagas disease in the U.S. We allowed nymphal T. cruzi-infected and uninfected Triatoma gerstaeckeri (Stål, 1859) and Triatoma sanguisuga (LeConte, 1855) to interact with restrained guinea pigs and measured insect feeding and defecation events; South American Rhodnius prolixus (Stål, 1859; Latin America) served as a comparison group. In 148 trials, 40.0% of insects fed, of which 71.2% defecated. Compared to R. prolixus, T. gerstaeckeri had >9 times higher odds of feeding, and T. sanguisuga fed longer. Observations of defecation while feeding occurred across all three species. The post-feeding defecation interval (PFDI) of R. prolixus was significantly shorter (4.54 ± 2.46 min) than that of T. gerstaeckeri (9.75 ± 2.52 min) and T. sanguisuga (20.69 ± 8.98 min). Furthermore, the PFDI was shorter for TcI-infected insects compared to uninfected insects. Triatoma gerstaeckeri and T. sanguisuga are capable of stercorarian transmission, although the calculated metrics suggest they are less efficient vectors than R. prolixus.","PeriodicalId":13642,"journal":{"name":"Insects","volume":"16 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11856564/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143500716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that the gregarious larvae had thicker integuments and more polygonal particles on the cuticle surface than solitary larvae. Using the Illumina HiSeq™ sequencing platform, 2774 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were generated. Among these, many transcripts were identified with roles in the synthesis of fatty acids; structural components of the integument and the insecticide detoxification were differentially expressed in the integument of the two larval phases. qRT-PCR was used to validate expression patterns of the selected transcripts.

The addition of PH3 (0.04 mg/L) to MB against T. castaneum pupae significantly decreased the LC99 of MB to 4.05 mg/L at 20 °C. MB was strongly adsorbed to wood pellets, which prevented complete extermination of T. castaneum at loading ratios between 20 and 60%. However, at the highest filling ratio (60%), the addition of 0.7 mg/L PH3 with 70 mg/L MB achieved 100% mortality for T. castaneum. When pupae of S. zeamais were targeted, MB + PH3 effectively disinfected both stages of both pests after 24 h at 5, 15, and 20 °C.

The occurrence records used for modeling excluded the data from greenhouses and summer-only presence. The optimized MaxEnt models demonstrated an excellent predictive performance; Jaccard's and Sørensen's indices were greater than 0.8. Temperature, particularly the mean daily air temperature in February (tas2), was identified as the primary influencing factor. Projections based on five global climate models (GCMs) and four shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) indicated an increasing risk of T. absoluta expansion. Under SSP126, the lowest-risk period (2011-2040) exhibited a 7.08% increase in suitable areas, while SSP370 during the highest-risk period (2071-2100) projected an 18.13% increase relative to near-current conditions.

We first report in this study that the large subunit ribosome protein RPL12, from Bomby mori (BmRPL12), participated in UV-induced DNA damage repair. BmRPL12 enhanced the resistance of Escherichia coli (E. coli) to UV radiation and facilitated faster repair of UV-induced DNA damage in silkworm cells. BmRPL12 mainly existed in the cytoplasm in the dimer forms, and the N-terminal nuclear export signal was crucial for the localization of BmRPL12. After UV radiation, BmRPL12 was unable to localize at the UV-induced DNA damage sites to participate in damage repair directly and might indirectly regulate UV-induced DNA damage repair. Our previous research found that BmNPV Bm65 was an important UV damage-induced endonuclease. Here, it was further found that in BmNPV-infected silkworm cells, BmRPL12 in monomeric forms interacted with the virus Bm65 protein only after UV radiation, and BmRPL12 specifically localized at the UV-induced DNA damage sites only in the presence of Bm65. We speculate that after viral infection in cells subjected to UV-induced DNA damage, viral protein Bm65 interacts with BmRPL12 and localizes BmRPL12 to sites of UV-damaged DNA.","PeriodicalId":13642,"journal":{"name":"Insects","volume":"16 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11856044/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143500146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
