Onchocerciasis transmission status in some endemic communities of Cross River State, Nigeria after two decades of mass drug administration with ivermectin.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Scientific reports [Sci Rep] 2023 Apr 03; Vol. 13 (1), pp. 5413. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Apr 03.
Abstract: Onchocerciasis is a parasitic disease transmitted by black flies. Human onchocerciasis is a public health and socioeconomic problem in Nigeria. Its prevalence and morbidity have reduced over the years because of control efforts especially, Mass Drug Ad...
Exploring FlyBase Data Using QuickSearch.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Current protocols [Curr Protoc] 2023 Apr; Vol. 3 (4), pp. e731.
Abstract: FlyBase (www.flybase.org) is the primary online database of genetic, genomic, and functional information about Drosophila melanogaster. The long and rich history of Drosophila research, combined with recent surges in genomic-scale and high-throughput t...
Edible insect Locusta migratoria shows intestinal protein digestibility and improves plasma and hepatic lipid metabolism in male rats.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Food chemistry [Food Chem] 2022 Dec 01; Vol. 396, pp. 133701. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Jul 15.
Abstract: Although edible insect migratory locusts are considered sustainable food resources with proteins and n-3 lipids, their physiological effects on lipid metabolism are not clarified. Here, we clarified the amino acid (AA) value of the edible migratory loc...
A highly expressed odorant receptor from the yellow fever mosquito, AaegOR11, responds to (+)- and (-)-fenchone and a phenolic repellent.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Insect biochemistry and molecular biology [Insect Biochem Mol Biol] 2022 Dec; Vol. 151, pp. 103866. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Nov 05.
Abstract: The cornerstone of the reverse chemical ecology approach is the identification of odorant receptors (OR) sensitive to compounds in a large panel of odorants. In this approach, we de-orphanize ORs and, subsequently, measure behaviors elicited by these s...
Application of vibrational signals to study and manipulate an insect vector: the case of Philaenus spumarius (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae).
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Pest management science [Pest Manag Sci] 2022 Oct; Vol. 78 (10), pp. 4061-4071. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Jun 21.
Abstract: Background: Vibrational stimuli can support pest management as they provide environmentally friendly methods to manipulate insect pest behaviors. Different vibrational stimuli were used to study and influence the behavior of the meadow spittlebug, Phil...
Odorant-Binding Protein 3-Oriented Rational Design and Discovery of Novel Jasmonate Derivatives as Potential Aphid-Repellent Agents.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Journal of agricultural and food chemistry [J Agric Food Chem] 2022 Sep 21; Vol. 70 (37), pp. 11792-11803. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Sep 12.
Abstract: Odorant-binding protein (OBP) is a potential target for developing insect behavior control agents due to its properties in transporting semiochemicals. In this study, 12 novel jasmonic acid (JA) derivatives were rationally designed and synthesized base...
The repellency effect of icaridin nanostructural solution applied on cotton knitting fabric against Lutzomyia longipalpis.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Parasitology research [Parasitol Res] 2022 Sep; Vol. 121 (9), pp. 2673-2681. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Jul 12.
Abstract: The use of repellents is considered an alternative against biting insects, including Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae), the main vector of the protozoan Leishmania infantum, visceral leishmaniasis's (VL) etiologic agent in the Americas. This...
Modelling push-pull management of pest insects using repellents and attractive traps in fruit tree orchards.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Pest management science [Pest Manag Sci] 2022 Aug; Vol. 78 (8), pp. 3630-3637. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Jun 10.
Abstract: Background: Push-pull with semiochemicals in pest management uses repellents to reduce response of pests to food-mate resources (push) and attractive traps to reduce populations (pull). Simulation models of push-pull can aid understanding of plant-inse...
RNA meets toxicology: efficacy indicators from the experimental design of RNAi studies for insect pest management.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Pest management science [Pest Manag Sci] 2022 Aug; Vol. 78 (8), pp. 3215-3225. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Apr 12.
Abstract: RNA interference (RNAi) selectively targets genes and silences their expression in vivo, causing developmental defects, mortality and altered behavior. Consequently, RNAi has emerged as a promising research area for insect pest management. However, it ...
Flotillin 2 Facilitates the Infection of a Plant Virus in the Gut of Insect Vector.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Journal of virology [J Virol] 2022 Apr 13; Vol. 96 (7), pp. e0214021. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Mar 07.
Abstract: Most plant viruses require insect vectors for transmission. One of the key steps for the transmission of persistent-circulative plant viruses is overcoming the gut barrier to enter epithelial cells. To date, little has been known about viral cofactors ...
