Natural occurrence in Argentina of a new fungal pathogen of cockroaches, Metarhizium argentinense sp. nov.
(Elsevier Science, 2019-05)
The aim of this study was to search for entomopathogenic fungi that infect wild cockroaches in forest ecosystems in two protected natural areas of Argentina. Two isolates of Metarhizium argentinenseBlaberidae: Epilamprinae) ...
Orcokinins contribute to the regulation of vitellogenin transcription in the cockroach Blattella germanica
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015-11)
Orcokinins (OKs) are neuropeptides that were first identified in crustacean through their myotropic activity. In insects, the OK gene gives rise to two mRNAs coding for two different families of conserved mature neuropeptides: ...
Repellency Assays with Schinus molle var. areira (L.) (Anacardiaceae) Essential Oils against Blattella germanica L. (Blattodea: Blattellidae)
(Entomological Society of Brazil, 2009-07)
Plant extracts have been used all over the world as an alternative method to control pests. In our study, essential oil extracted from leaves and fruits of Schinus molle var. areira (L.) (Anacardiaceae) was tested for ...
Deltamethrin-resistant German Cockroaches Are Less Sensitive to the Insect Repellents DEET and IR3535 than Non-resistant Individuals
(Oxford University Press, 2018-04)
The German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.) (Blattodea: Blattellidae), is a serious worldwide pest with a considerable economical and sanitary impact. It is mainly controlled by the application of synthetic insecticides, ...
Jaburetox, a urease‐derived peptide: Effects on enzymatic pathways of the cockroach Nauphoeta cinerea
(Wiley-liss, div John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2020-08)
Jaburetox is a recombinant peptide derived from one of the Canavalia ensiformis urease isoforms. This peptide induces several toxic effects on insects of different orders, including interference on muscle contractility in ...
Insecticidal application of essential oils loaded polymeric nanoparticles to control German cockroach: Design, characterization and lethal/sublethal effects
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2020-02-02)
Essential oils (EO) from peppermint, palmarosa, geranium, lavender and rosemary were tested against the German cockroach, Blatella germanica L. (Blattaria: Blatellidae). Peppermint and palmarosa oils were the most effective ...
Behavioural and toxicological responses of Blattella germanica (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae) to monoterpenes
(Czech Academy of Sciences, 2012-10)
Certain monoterpenes produced by aromatic plants are known to have lethal and sublethal effects on insects. As there is a need to replace conventional pesticides (organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids) with biorational ...
A new species of Herpomyces (Laboulbeniomycetes: Herpomycetales) on Periplaneta fuliginosa (Blattodea: Blattidae) from Argentina
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020-04-16)
We are becoming increasingly aware of the dazzling diversity of fungi—new taxa are being discovered from poorly sampled habitats and integrative approaches point at (near-)cryptic species in many groups. The class ...
Evaluation of sublethal effects of polymer-based essential oils nanoformulation on the german cockroach
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2016-08)
The German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.), is a serious household and public health pest worldwide. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the sublethal activity of polymer-based essential oils (EOs) nanoparticles ...
