In insects, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter, and GABA-gated ion channels are the target of different classes of insecticides, including fipronil. We …

The risk of insecticides to pollinating insects.

Communicative & integrative biology

Connolly CN.
PMID: 24265849
Commun Integr Biol. 2013 Sep 01;6(5):e25074. doi: 10.4161/cib.25074. Epub 2013 Nov 01.

A key new risk to our pollinators has been identified as exposure to neonicotinoid insecticides. These discoveries have refuelled the debate over whether or not the neonicotinoid insecticides should be banned and conflicting evidence is used in this battle....

Comparison of Three Bed Bug Management Strategies in a Low-Income Apartment Building.

Insects

Wang C, Saltzmann K, Bennett G, Gibb T.
PMID: 26466533
Insects. 2012 Apr 02;3(2):402-9. doi: 10.3390/insects3020402.

Bed bug (Cimex lectularius L.) infestations are currently controlled by a variety of non-chemical and chemical methods. There have been few studies on the comparative effectiveness of these control techniques. We evaluated three bed bug management strategies in an...

Photo Initiated Chemical Vapour Deposition To Increase Polymer Hydrophobicity.

Scientific reports

Bérard A, Patience GS, Chouinard G, Tavares JR.
PMID: 27531048

Apple growers face new challenges to produce organic apples and now many cover orchards with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) nets to exclude insects, rather than spraying insecticides. However, rainwater- associated wetness favours the development of apple scabs, Venturia inaequalis, whose...

Rhamnolipids: solution against Aedes aegypti?.

Frontiers in microbiology

Silva VL, Lovaglio RB, Von Zuben CJ, Contiero J.
PMID: 25762986
Front Microbiol. 2015 Feb 16;6:88. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2015.00088. eCollection 2015.

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are the primary transmitters of dengue fever, urban yellow fever, and chikungunya viruses. This mosquito has developed resistance to the insecticides currently used to control their populations. These chemical insecticides are harmful to the environment and...

Resistance to bio-insecticides or how to enhance their sustainability: a review.

Frontiers in plant science

Siegwart M, Graillot B, Blachere Lopez C, Besse S, Bardin M, Nicot PC, Lopez-Ferber M.
PMID: 26150820
Front Plant Sci. 2015 Jun 19;6:381. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2015.00381. eCollection 2015.

After more than 70 years of chemical pesticide use, modern agriculture is increasingly using biological control products. Resistances to conventional insecticides are wide spread, while those to bio-insecticides have raised less attention, and resistance management is frequently neglected. However,...

Survey of Pest Management Practices on Washington Dairy Farms.

Journal of extension

Ferguson HJ, Galvin K, Vásquez VB, Yost M, O'Neal S.
PMID: 29520118
J Ext. 2015;53(2).

Washington state dairy producers were surveyed to determine pest and parasite prevalence and range of current pest management strategies. Nearly all respondents reported treating their cattle or premises for flies, while 62% reported treating their animals for external parasites....

Pesticides in fine airborne particles: from a green analysis method to atmospheric characterization and risk assessment.

Scientific reports

Nascimento MM, da Rocha GO, de Andrade JB.
PMID: 28536439
Sci Rep. 2017 May 23;7(1):2267. doi: 10.1038/s41598-017-02518-1.

The intensive use of pesticides such as herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and acaricides has been lead to ubiquitous contamination, being present not only in soils, water bodies and/or crops, but also in the atmosphere. Considering the massive amount of pesticides...

RNA Interference: A Novel Source of Resistance to Combat Plant Parasitic Nematodes.

Frontiers in plant science

Banerjee S, Banerjee A, Gill SS, Gupta OP, Dahuja A, Jain PK, Sirohi A.
PMID: 28580003
Front Plant Sci. 2017 May 19;8:834. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2017.00834. eCollection 2017.

Plant parasitic nematodes cause severe damage and yield loss in major crops all over the world. Available control strategies include use of insecticides/nematicides but these have proved detrimental to the environment, while other strategies like crop rotation and resistant...

Effects of diterpene esters of tigliane, daphnane, ingenane, and lathyrane types on pink bollworm,Pectinophora gossypiella saunders (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae).

Journal of chemical ecology

Marshall GT, Klocke JA, Lin LJ, Douglas Kinghorn A.
PMID: 24309846
J Chem Ecol. 1985 Feb;11(2):191-206. doi: 10.1007/BF00988202.

Twenty esters, representing the biogenetically related tigliane, daphnane, ingenane, and lathyrane series of diterpenes, were screened for growth-inhibitory and insecticidal effects on newly hatched larvae of the North American cotton pest,Pectinophora gossypiella (pink bollworm). Among the tigliane derivatives tested,...

Post-exposure temperature influence on the toxicity of conventional and new chemistry insecticides to green lacewing Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae).

Saudi journal of biological sciences

Mansoor MM, Afzal M, Raza AB, Akram Z, Waqar A, Afzal MB.
PMID: 25972753

Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) is an important biological control agent currently being used in many integrated pest management (IPM) programs to control insect pests. The effect of post-treatment temperature on insecticide toxicity of a spinosyn (spinosad), pyrethroid (lambda cyhalothrin), organophosphate...
