Infection of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium rileyi suppresses cellular immunity and activates humoral antibacterial immunity of the host Spodoptera frugiperda

Jia-Lin Wang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the strategies used by Metarhizium rileyi to overcome the immune system of Spodoptera frugiperda, an agricultural pest. The research shows that M. rileyi decreases the number of hemocytes and impairs cellular reactions in the host, enabling early infection. Furthermore, late in the infection process, M. rileyi evades the enhanced antibacterial activity of the host's plasma, allowing its hyphal growth in the hemolymph.

Acute toxicity of sublethal concentrations of thiacloprid and clothianidin to immune response and oxidative status of honey bees

Snezana M. Orcic et al.

Summary: The use of neonicotinoids poses a threat to honey bees, and despite the EU banning certain neonicotinoids, exposure to these chemicals is still a concern. Research shows that sublethal concentrations of neonicotinoids can lead to oxidative stress and impair the immune defense of honey bees.

Identification of serine protease, serine protease homolog and prophenoloxidase genes in Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Lei Yang et al.

Summary: This study identified and characterized the genes of SPs, SPHs, and PPOs in Spodoptera frugiperda, revealing their roles in immune regulation. mRNA analysis showed significant accumulations of cSPs/cSPHs and PPOs in immune tissues post infection, with cSPs predominantly expressed in adults and PPOs at high levels in egg and larval stages.

Fall armyworm invasion heightens pesticide expenditure among Chinese smallholder farmers

Xianming Yang et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates how the invasion of fall armyworm has changed pest management practices in maize crops in Yunnan, China, increasing farmers' reliance on pesticides and potentially impacting household budgets. Sustainable pest management strategies are urgently needed for smallholder maize systems in China and other areas invaded by fall armyworm.
