Gut symbiotic bacteria have a substantial impact on host physiology and ecology. However, the contribution of gut microbes to fitness during long-term low-temperature stress is still unclear. This study examined role microbiota in resistance at molecular biochemical levels oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis. The results showed that after flies were removed via antibiotic treatment, median survival time was significantly decreased approximately 68% conventional following exposure...
Development of a successful in vitro rearing protocol has been essential for pesticide safety assessment immature honey bee workers under laboratory conditions. In contrast, testing drones is limited, part due to the lack protocols this reproductive caste. Considering that healthy are mating and reproduction queen, standardized necessary support studies, as well gain deeper understanding drone development. Using established workers, we modified days grafting pupal transfer, diet volume,...
The genetic-based sterile insect technique (SIT) is an effective and environmentally safe strategy to diminish populations of agricultural horticultural pests. Functional characterization genes related male fertility can enhance the SIT. Tssk1 has been involved control in both mammals insects. Moreover, Tektin1 also revealed influence human mammals. These findings suggested that identified from Bactrocera dorsalis could be required for B. dorsalis. In this study, expression profiles these...
Bactrocera minax (Enderlein) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is an oligophagous insect pest that damages citrus fruit, especially in China. Due to larvae living within a highly septic environment, wide variety of microorganisms exist the larval gut B. minax. However, systematic study intestinal microbiota this harmful still lacking. Here, we comprehensively investigated two field populations from Zigui (developed orange) and Danjiangkou mandarin orange). We observed dominance Proteobacteria...
Abstract BACKGROUND Mycopesticides are important for integrated management of the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri . However, there few reports on fermentation and formulation mycopesticides with high virulence against D. RESULTS From four different locations in South China, 12 fungal strains were isolated classified into Beauveria bassiana (two isolates), Fusarium fujikuroi (five Cordyceps javanica isolates) based phylogenetic analysis ITS1‐5.8S rDNA‐ITS4 morphology colonies conidia....
As important pests, scarab beetle larvae survive on plant biomass and the microbiota of fermentation chamber play an role in digestion lignocellulose-rich diets. However, cultivable microbes, especially anaerobic are still largely unknown. Here, both aerobic bacterial communities associated with Holotrichia parallela were investigated. In total bacteria cells directly enumerated by 4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining method, viable plate counts accounted for 0.92% proportion....
Citrus insect pests are important factors affecting production of citrus in China, and cause serious damage to yield fruit quality. Due the high quality standards demanded recent years, pest management has provide not only with almost no damages, but also minimal pesticide residues. In this report, we review current status their non-chemical control (green control) including agricultural such as cultural measures, sanitation winter orchards, trunk paint, pruning, orchards ground cover so on;...
Animal models have been essential for advancing research of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) in humans, but few animal species effectively replicate the behavioural and clinical signs FASD. The honey bee (Apis mellifera) is a previously unexplored model FASD that offers distinct benefit highly social behaviour. In this study, we chronically exposed larvae to incremental concentrations 0, 3, 6, 10% ethanol larval diet using an vitro rearing protocol measured developmental time survival...
Introduction The honey bee ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor , is one of the main causes colony loss worldwide. Synthetic acaricides are most commonly used strategy for varroa control, however, resistance to these has emerged. Consequently, use organic acids control gaining more interest among beekeepers. For example, oxalic acid (OA) a natural compound that been shown be an effective acaricide against mites, potential toxicity OA adult bees and queens poorly understood. objective study...
The diet of
Tribolium castaneum is an important stored grain pest. T. not only caused heavy losses in products, but it also becomes resistant to many pesticides, which makes pests more important. Synergism tool reduce the risk of development resistance. This study was designed investigate toxicity, synergism effect, and effect combination different biopesticides on fecundity Results showed that among six (Spinosad, Abamectin, Azadiractin, Rosemary oil, Metarhizium anisopliae, Verticillium lecanii)...
