Pesticide-Induced Release from Competition Among Competing Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus
Publish Date: 2013-11-01
Author/Source: Alto, Barry W.; Lampman, Richard L.; Kesavaraju, Banugopan; Muturi, Ephantus J.
Description: Competitive interactions between mosquitoes Aedes aegypti (L.) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse) may depend on environmental conditions. Pesticides may alleviate density-dependent com- petition for limited food, and a differential species response to sublethal concentrations may modify interspeciÞc competition. We tested the hypothesis that exposure to malathion alters interspeciÞc resource competition between these two species

Standard metabolic rate of the bed bug, Cimex lectularius: Effects of temperature, mass, and life stage
Publish Date: 2013-11
Author/Source: Zachary C. DeVriesa, Stephen A. Kellsb, Arthur G. Appel
Description: Metabolic rates provide important information about the biology of organisms. For ectothermic species such as insects, factors such as temperature and mass heavily influence metabolism, but these effects differ considerably between species. In this study we examined the standard metabolic rate of the bed bug,

Biophysical Constraints to Potential Production Capacity of Potato across the U.S. Eastern Seaboard Region
Publish Date: 2013-10-25
Author/Source: Fleisher, D.H., J.P. Resop, D.J. Timlin, and V.R. Reddy
Description: The Eastern Seaboard region (ESR) of the United States is densely populated and depends on imported food. Agricultural systems are vulnerable to uncertainties such as environmental conditions, climate change, and transportation costs. Local populations could benefit from regional food systems as a way to provide security; however, the potential production capacity of the region would first need to be quantified.

Lufenuron suppresses the resistance of Formosan subterranean termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) to entomopathogenic bacteria.
Publish Date: 2013-10
Author/Source: Wang C, Henderson G, Gautam BK
Description: In this study, C. formosanus previously fed lufenuron was exposed to each of the three entomopathogenic bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Schroeter) Migula, Serratia marcescens Bizio, and Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner subsp. israelensis. We found that termite mortality was significantly higher and synergistic in the combination of lufenuron and P. aeruginosa compared with treatment of lufenuron or P. aeruginosa alone

Effect of Feeding Status on Mortality Response of Adult Bed Bugs (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) to Some Insecticide Products
Publish Date: 2013-09-25
Author/Source: Yasmin Akhtar, Murray B. Isman
Description: Horizontal transfer of insecticide occurs when insects contact or ingest an insecticide, return to an aggregation or a nest, and transfer the insecticide to other conspecific insects through contact. This phenomenon has been reported in a number of insects including social insects, however it has not been reported in bed bugs. Since horizontal transfer can facilitate the spread of insecticide into hard to reach spaces, it could contribute greatly to the management of these public health pests.

Extended disease resistance emerging from the faecal nest of a subterranean termite
Publish Date: 2013-09-18
Author/Source: Thomas Chouvenc, Caroline A. Efstathion, Monica L. Elliott, Nan-Yao Su
Description: Social insects nesting in soil environments are in constant contact with ento- mopathogens but have evolved a range of defence mechanisms, resulting in both individual and social immunity that reduce the chance for epizootics in the colony, as in the case of subterranean termites.

Dissemination of Metarhizium anisopliae infection among the population of Odontotermes obesus (Isoptera: Termitidae) by augmenting the fungal conidia with attractants
Publish Date: 2013-09
Author/Source: M. Balachandera, O.K. Remadevia, T.O. Sasidharan
Description: From this study it was observed that the mixing of conidia with attractants could augment the dissemination potential of fungal infection among the termites. By adapting attractant based Metarhizium baits and dusting of conidial attractant mixture inside mounds may augment the dissemination potential in epizootic transmission of fungal infection.
