The Role of Cytochrome P450s in Insect Toxicology and Resistance

Ralf Nauen et al.

Summary: Insect cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) play important physiological roles and are particularly involved in the detoxification of xenobiotics. Recent advances in insect genomics and functional approaches have shed light on the evolution of insect P450s, their regulation mechanisms, and the genetic alterations leading to insecticide resistance. Additionally, studies on the sensitivity of beneficial insects to insecticides have provided valuable knowledge for managing P450-mediated resistance and safeguarding their health.

Lethal and behavioural effects of a green insecticide against an invasive polyphagous fruit fly pest and its safety to mammals

Giovanni Benelli et al.

Summary: The study found that carlina oxide has high toxicity to medfly and can alter its aggressive behavior direction, but not affect aggression intensity and duration. In addition, acute toxicity studies on rats showed that the essential oil has minimal effects on the stomach, liver, and kidney, making it relatively safe for non-target mammals.

Etofenprox as grain protectant for the management of five key stored-product insect pests

Maria C. Boukouvala et al.

Summary: Etofenprox, a low toxicity broad spectrum pyrethroid insecticide, was evaluated as a grain protectant against various stored grain pests. The study found that the efficacy of Etofenprox varied among insect species and under different temperature and humidity conditions. While it effectively killed certain pests like Ephestia kuehniella and Prostephanus truncatus at specific doses, it also showed significant suppression of progeny production for pests like Rhyzopertha dominica and Tribolium confusum.

Essential Oil Coating: Mediterranean Culinary Plants as Grain Protectants against Larvae and Adults of Tribolium castaneum and Trogoderma granarium

Nikos E. Papanikolaou et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the protection of stored agricultural products and explores the potential of edible essential oils (EOs) as control agents against certain pests. Six culinary plants were selected, and their EOs were formulated into microemulsions (MEs) and applied as grain coatings. The results showed that EO-based MEs exhibited high toxicity against tested pests, making them effective tools for postharvest protection. This study is significant in developing alternative methods for managing postharvest losses.

Impact of temperature on life history of two long-term laboratory strains of Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) from Greece and Serbia

Nickolas G. Kavallieratos et al.

Summary: This study examines the effect of temperature on two laboratory strains of Tribolium confusum, and finds that temperature has an important influence on the growth, longevity, and fecundity of the insects. The Serbian strain develops faster at both high and low temperatures, while the Greek strain has longer male longevity at 30℃. Both strains have the highest fecundity at 30℃. The Serbian strain lays more eggs than the Greek strain at all temperatures.

Short- and Long-Term Mortalities of Small and Large Larvae of Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) on Concrete Surfaces Treated with Three Insecticides: Impact of Food

Nickolas G. Kavallieratos et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the short- and long-term mortalities of small and large larvae of Alphitobius diaperinus when exposed to etofenprox, deltamethrin, and the combination of piperonyl butoxide+acetamiprid+d-tetramethrin. Deltamethrin was found to be the most efficient active ingredient for managing both small and large larvae. The lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus, is an important pest in the poultry industry and can transmit dangerous pathogens to humans.
