This review examines the status of EPF by highlighting key successes and exploring challenges and opportunities for expanding their market share. EPF adoption faces solvable technical challenges, but major barriers from entrenched agricultural practices, overstrict regulations, low promotion, and poor stakeholder coordination persist. Legislative reforms that simplify registration combined with increased research and development could reduce costs, improve quality control, and enable multi-strain applications. Investment in social and cultural studies is essential to raise user awareness of the interconnectedness of agriculture, environment, food safety, and health. Despite strengthening social drivers, EPF adoption remains sluggish, constrained by weak retailer promotion and farmers' continued preference for conventional pesticides, which are viewed as simpler and less risky. Advancing EPF adoption demands coordinated engagement among scientists, farmers, industry, and policy makers, underpinned by public-private partnership and extension programs and enabled by effective knowledge-sharing platforms to overcome barriers and accelerate global implementation.","PeriodicalId":8001,"journal":{"name":"Annual review of entomology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149102883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although historically most research has centered on Bemisia tabaci, the greenhouse whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum is rapidly emerging as a major pest across sub-Saharan Africa. Its spread in both open-field and protected cropping systems is linked to shifts in land use, climate variability, and intensified production systems. Furthermore, growing insecticide resistance to commonly used insecticides threatens existing control efforts. Despite these trends, T. vaporariorum has received comparatively limited attention. This review collates current evidence on its distribution, host range, economic importance, and genetic variation, while also examining both established and emerging management approaches. Moreover, it highlights critical research gaps and outlines priorities for future research, arguing for a renewed focus on this species as an increasingly important pest that demands more integrated and ecologically grounded solutions.","PeriodicalId":8001,"journal":{"name":"Annual review of entomology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149001125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extending the effective life span of available insecticides is therefore a key challenge. Resistance management strategies (RMS) have been proposed and incorporated into policy guidance, yet their relative effectiveness remains poorly resolved. This review synthesizes the theoretical and empirical evidence for major RMS: mixtures, rotations, mosaics, high-dose/refuge, dose moderation, and release of susceptible males. Among these RMS, mixtures currently have the strongest support, with models consistently predicting delayed resistance evolution. Evidence for rotations is more limited and context dependent, while support for other strategies remains sparse or largely theoretical in mosquito systems. Many recommendations in current resistance management frameworks remain grounded more strongly in theory than in empirical evidence. Moreover, operational implementation is complicated by heterogeneous exposure, multiple sources of insecticide selection, and logistical constraints. As new insecticides enter operational use, empirical evidence and field-realistic models are urgently needed to guide their deployment and long-term protection.","PeriodicalId":8001,"journal":{"name":"Annual review of entomology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148987804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Disease transmission is restricted temporally and spatially because not all seasons or habitats support mosquito growth, development, host seeking, and reproduction. Temperate mosquitoes respond to photoperiod by entering states of arrested development to survive harsh winter conditions. Additionally, temperature profoundly influences mosquito development, host seeking, and reproductive processes, as well as pathogen replication. Recent research is uncovering how humidity affects mosquito host-seeking and oviposition behavior. Researchers are also gaining an understanding of how light pollution and high temperatures in cities impact mosquito physiology and behavior. Future studies characterizing the interactions among multiple environmental factors will allow researchers to better predict how mosquitoes are responding to increasing urbanization and climate change, to develop novel control measures, and to better direct interventions and thereby limit disease transmission.","PeriodicalId":8001,"journal":{"name":"Annual review of entomology","volume":" ","pages":"169-187"},"PeriodicalIF":16.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13061110/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145136232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Structural biologists resolved the three-dimensional structures of pheromone-binding proteins and odorant receptors (ORs), revealing features that enable specific interactions with semiochemicals. Researchers proposed that ORs evolved from gustatory receptors as insects adapted to terrestrial life and then specialized to detect species-specific sex pheromones. Most insects use both broadly and finely tuned receptors, but migratory locusts rely mainly on finely tuned ones. To test hypotheses, genes were silenced, expressed in empty neurons, or resurrected, leading to receptor de-orphanization and discovery of new semiochemicals through reverse chemical ecology. These receptors and coreceptors are expressed in olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) within sensilla of the antennae and maxillary palps. Recent evidence suggests ORNs may express multiple receptor types, including odorant, ionotropic, and gustatory receptors.","PeriodicalId":8001,"journal":{"name":"Annual review of entomology","volume":" ","pages":"275-297"},"PeriodicalIF":16.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145298163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
