Data were collected in the localities of Lobo and Sep1 respectively. At each site, the experimental set-up consisted of a 100 m x 100 m plot in which X and Y Cartesian coordinates were defined. On each coordinate axis, reference points were placed at 10m intervals to easily locate nests. These data enabled us to collect 14 termites’ species, including 7 at each sampling site. Cubitermitinae were represented by 72.72% of total species collected. With regard to nest density, on average we observed 42.5±12.02 nests ha -1 and 49.41% of these were inactive. Predation pressure from Dorylus sp. ants is assumed to be the cause of this high percentage of inactive nests. The termite species associated with these nests did not interact, despite the colonies' spatial distribution being aggregated in the plots. This would be caused by the feeding behavior of some soil-feeding termites’ species which feed on distinct soil components, as well as by niche filtering, which is the process that allows the species to cohabit.","PeriodicalId":486761,"journal":{"name":"Acta entomology and zoology","volume":"3 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141698943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 25321 insects from 7 orders of 66 families were collected and 17 Arachnida-Araneidae. 16437 individuals and 8884 were collected respectively in the dry and rainy season. Using yellow traps, 14209 individuals were collected and 11112 using net. Here, Hemiptera represented 72.56%, Diptera 14.61%, Lepidoptera 9.42%, Hymenoptera 2.34%. Hemiptera Aleyrodidae, Aphididae, Cicadellidae and Miridae, Diptera-Drosophillidae, Lepidoptera-Gelechiidae, Hymenoptera-Formicidae and Orthoptera-Acrididae are the families with the most individuals. Hemiptera-Aleyrodidae account for 51.49% of all invertebrates. More insects were collected in the dry season (64.91%). District of Bangangté, Nkong-Ni and Foumbot were the most attacked. Beneficial insects include Hymenoptera Formicidae, Halictidae and Figitidae, Odonata and Arachnida-Araneidae.

Pyrethrum spray catch was employed using white spread materials at early morning for a period of three days (3 days) from 6am to 7am interval. All data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 22 software (Version 22.0). The number of insects encountered was counted and recorded. The distribution of mosquito species based on gender showed that male mosquitoes had the highest prevalence than female mosquito. The distribution of mosquito species based on number of bedrooms showed that First bedroom had the highest prevalence, followed by Second bedroom and the least was pallor. The occurrence of these species of mosquitoes in the study areas shows that the communities are at risk of contracting mosquito-borne diseases since all of them are proven vectors of dreadful diseases. The use of insecticides treated bed nets and replant are highly recommended.","PeriodicalId":486761,"journal":{"name":"Acta entomology and zoology","volume":"75 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140524929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nematodes develop inside the host insect through a number of nymphal and adult stages of L. augur prior to emerging from the host as fully developed, non-feeding postparasites. Host mortality results from the nematodes leaving the bug. The objective of this study was to identify the nematodes that parasitize L. augur and to chart (record) the level of parasitism in the population of L. augur in response to environmental factors like temperature and rainfall. The possibility for H. vishwakarma to exert biological control over the L. augur population through the occurrence of epizootics is discussed. The study was carried out in the HRI and Training Centre, which is situated in the Indian district of Saharanpur, from January to December and (Fortnightly from May to October). By comparing the number of H. vishwakarma Dhiman parasitized nymphs and adults bugs with the current rainfall and temperature at biweekly intervals, it was possible to determine the effect of abiotic conditions on the degree of parasitism in L. augur . In S. oleosa , there was a highly substantial positive association between the amount of parasitism and rainfall. From July to August, when there was the most rainfall in 2006, post-parasitic juvenile caused mortality in L. augur infesting S. oleosa was (81 and 88%, respectively), and the parasitism decreased as the amount of rainfall decreased. In the lab, the parasitization rate ranged from 80% to 100%. The percentage of parasitization in the bug population in the field was 10-88%. The majority of the bug population (80 to 90%) died in the cage within a month, which was a promising result for H. vishwakarma Dhiman. As a result, H. vishwakarma can be successfully used in India as an L. augur biocontrol agent. The inverse relationship between rainfall and H. vishwakarma Dhiman (mermithids) infection will be useful in planning when to apply pesticides in IPM plans to control this pest.","PeriodicalId":486761,"journal":{"name":"Acta entomology and zoology","volume":"11 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139633213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Food loss prevention during postharvest storage is critical for economic reasons. Integrated pest management, which includes the use of chemical (contact/residual) insecticides and fumigants, is now a generally recognised pest control technique, including postharvest infestation treatment. Because of the residue problem and health concerns to consumers, the use of synthetic chemical pesticides is either prohibited or restricted. Given the foregoing, there is a demand for plants that can serve as viable replacements to presently employed insecticides since they contain a large number of bioactive chemicals. According to the literature, the plant might be used to develop novel pesticides. As a result, insecticidal chemicals originating from plants have a lot of promise. The current state of botanical insecticides as grain protectants, as well as their method of action, are the subjects of this research.","PeriodicalId":486761,"journal":{"name":"Acta entomology and zoology","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135812721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
