Abstract Insects are known for their harmful effects. However, they also benefit humans, animals, plants, and ecosystems. Its beneficial uses include entomophagy entomotherapy. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of insect extracts against Gram-negative bacteria. Antibacterial activities thirteen crude medicinal insects were tested twelve bacteria by diffusion on agar. Imipenem was used as an antibiotic positive control. The acted differently certain largest inhibition...

Abstract The whitefly Bemisia tabaci is a pest of many agricultural and ornamental crops worldwide particularly in Africa. It complex cryptic species, which extremely polyphagous with hundreds host plants identified around the world. Previous surveys western Africa indicated presence two biotypes invasive MED species ( ‐Q1 ‐Q3) living sympatry African SSA ASL . This situation constitutes one rare cases local coexistence various genetic entities within B. complex. In order to study dynamics...

Climate change and global warming in the Sahelian region cause dramatic drought advancing of desert. This phenomenon could affect plant survival community composition, but even for surviving plants, it their phenology insect associated with them. In a space-for-time approach, we studied case

Microbial symbionts are widespread in insects and some of them have been associated with adaptive changes. Primary (P-symbionts) a nutritional role that allows their hosts to feed on unbalanced diets (plant sap, wood, blood). Most undergone genome reduction, but genomes still retain genes involved pathways necessary synthesize the nutrients need. However, P-symbionts, essential incomplete secondary (S-symbionts) required complete parts degenerated functions. The P-symbiont phloem sap-feeder...

Faced these concerns, search for alternative vector control strategies as use essential oils (EOs) need be implemented. Here, five EOs from Cymbopogon citratus, nardus, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Lippia multiflora, Ocimum americanum obtained by hydro distillation were tested according World Health Organization procedures on An. "Kisumu"...

The biological parameters studies on Bemisia tabaci MED Q1 and Q3 genotypes in tropical areas are very scarce could provide interesting insights for pest management programmes. life history traits demographic of B.

Abstract Dengue vector control strategies are mostly based on chemicals use against Aedes aegypti populations. The current study aimed at investigating the insecticidal effects of essential oils (EOs) obtained from five plant species, Cymbopogon citrates (D. C.) Stapf. (Poaceae), nardus (Linn.) Rendle Eucalyptus camaldulensis Linn. (Myrtaceae), Lippia multiflora Moldenke (Verbenaceae), and Ocimum americanum Lamiaceae, combinations Ae. populations Bobo-Dioulasso. For this purpose, adults...

Abstract Forensic entomology focused sarcosaprophagous insects and arthropods may provide a sound tool for assessment of Post Mortem Interval (PMI) could scientific evidence date deaths. However, few data on necrophagous insect are available in many western African countries. The current study Necrobia rufipes , an known to be appear highly decomposed skeletonized corpses mammals. Our research aimed at examining some biological parameters N. pig rabbit used as substrate under ambient...

Abstract The pollination syndrome of the African custard apple ( Annona senegalensis Pers.; Annonaceae) was investigated to gain insights into reproductive strategy this multipurpose wild shrub. Flower visitors were collected and frequently surveyed in morning on 30 flowers plants per site, at four sites across Sudanian Sudano-Sahelian climatic zones Burkina Faso during flowering season, from May June. A total nine species insects including Coleoptera (Curculionidae, Scarabeidae),...

Abstract Using chemical insecticides is the main way to prevent and manage dengue malaria, two mosquito-borne diseases. However, vectors of these diseases have developed resistance insecticides. Essential oils (EOs) could be used as alternatives because besides their larvicidal adulticidal properties, they repellent properties. In Burkina Faso, studies on properties essential mosquitoes remained limited. The EOs extracted from five plants ( Cymbopogon citratus , nardus Eucalyptus...
