Termites cause important economic losses worldwide and insecticides are largely used to control subterranean termites like Reticulitermes speratus Kolbe. However, few studies have documented the various effects that insecticides may have on termites, e.g., fumigation or colonial effects. Such knowledge would greatly help in optimizing termite...

Beta-cypermethrin has long been recommended as an effective pesticide to control the soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura, a serious pest in soybean crops. Besides acute toxicity, it leads to changes in life history traits of A. glycines, notably its reproductive potential. This study has assessed the effects of five sublethal concentrations...

The melon aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a major pest affecting plants of Cucurbitaceae family worldwide. Clothianidin has been broadly used for the control of this insect pest. In this study, we investigated the impact of clothianidin on the demographical traits and expression changes of vitellogenin and ecdysone...

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) are highly conserved multifunctional enzymes that play crucial roles in insecticide resistance development. In this study, the molecular mechanisms of P450s in acetamiprid resistance development to melon aphid, Aphis gossypii was investigated. Acetamiprid resistant (32.64-fold resistance) population...

Ecdysone receptor (EcR) plays important roles in molting, metamorphosis, and reproduction of insects. EcR ortholog and its function in melon aphid Aphis gossypii have not been documented yet. RNA interference (RNAi) is a reverse-genetic approach used to study functional genomics, but recently, it has also shown promise as a novel tool that...

The soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura, is a major pest in soybean crop. Current management of this pest relies mainly on insecticides applications, and the neonicotinoid imidacloprid has been proposed as an effective insecticide to control A. glycines in soybean field. Imidacloprid at lethal concentrations not only exerts acute toxicity...

Stimulatory effects (hormesis) of acetamiprid on demographical traits and vitellogenin gene expression of melon aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, were examined. The longevity and fecundity of the parental aphids (F-0) were both reduced by a low lethal concentration of acetamiprid (LC15), while no effect was observed when exposed to a sublethal...
