The immune system of insects and the control of some parasitary human diseases
(Interciencia, 1999-05-01)
Parasitic diseases in humans, transmitted by insects, affect about 500 million people living mainly in countries of low economic power, the control of these diseases is difficult to carry out, mainly die to social and ...
Histochemical and molecular evaluation of the prevalence of Leishmania spp. in hematophagous insects
(2016-06-01)
The prevalence study of Leishmania spp. in hematophagous insects captured from the environment in bat roosts and pigeon nests, or feeding their hosts (cattle, pigs, horses, dogs and humans) in urban, peri-urban and rural ...
Insect/Bt-cotton interactions: Are immunological variables and hemocyte ultrastructure in Podisus nigrispinus (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) affected?
(2013-04-01)
Recent studies have shown that ingestion by the army worm Spodoptera frugiperda of Cry1Ac toxin from Bt cotton promotes histochemical and ultrastructural changes in the digestive cells of the predatory pentatomid bug Podisus ...
A Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Model for Aeneolamia varia (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) Populations in Sugarcane Crops
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2021-04-03)
Sugarcane spittlebugs are considered important pests in sugarcane crops ranging from the southeastern United States to northern Argentina. To evaluate the effects of climate variables on adult populations of Aeneolamia ...
Targeting of insect epicuticular lipids by entomopathogenic fungi: hydrocarbon oxidation within the context of a host-pathogen interaction
(Frontiers Media S. A, 2013-02-15)
Broad host range entomopathogenic fungi such as Beauveria bassiana attack insect hosts via attachment to cuticular substrata and the production of enzymes for the degradation and penetration of insect cuticle. The outermost ...
EVALUATION OF IN VITRO AND IN VIVO EFFECTS OF SEMIPURIFIED PROTEINASE INHIBITORS FROM THEOBROMA SEEDS ON MIDGUT PROTEASE ACTIVITY OF LEPIDOPTERAN PEST INSECTS
(WILEY-BLACKWELLHOBOKEN, 2012)
We have characterized in vitro and in vivo effects of trypsin inhibitors from Theobroma seeds on the activity of trypsin- and chymotrypsin-like proteins from Lepidopteran pest insects. The action of semipurified trypsin ...
Natural vegetation cover in the landscape and edge effects: Differential responses of insect orders in a fragmented forest
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-09-20)
Human activities have led to global simplification of ecosystems, among which Neotropical dry forests are some of the most threatened. Habitat loss as well as edge effects may affect insect communities. Here, we analyzed ...
Size does matter: variation in herbivory between and within plants and the plant vigor hypothesis
(Wiley-blackwellMaldenEUA, 2008)
First study of different insect cells to triatoma virus infection
(Springer, 2015-03)
The use of viruses for biological control is a new option to be considered. The family Dicistroviridae, which affects only invertebrates, is one of the families that have been proposed for this purpose. The Triatoma virus ...
