This study evaluates an attractive lethal ovitrap (ALOT) to reduce Aedes aegypti populations and dengue incidence in Iquitos, Peru, showing a 56% reduction in symptomatic dengue cases.

This study evaluates nitisinone (NTBC) as a new treatment for bed bugs, showing it is lethal to both susceptible and resistant populations but with slight resistance in the latter, and identifies molecular mechanisms of action.

This study examines the impact of boric acid on the gut microbiome of Eastern subterranean termites, finding dose-dependent mortality and microbiome dysbiosis.

This study identifies BgElo12 as critical for female-specific cuticular hydrocarbon production in German cockroaches, linking it to sexual attractiveness and sex differentiation pathways.

The paper analyzes gene and protein domain content changes across 76 arthropod genomes to understand evolutionary patterns and their association with phenotypic adaptations.

This paper investigates the evolution of sexual development in insects by analyzing dsx and tra expression in three hemimetabolous insect orders, revealing a gradual, mosaic evolution of the tra-dsx splicing cascade.
