Sublethal exposure of emamectin benzoate and thiamethoxam alters the biological parameters and genes expression in Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae).

Excessive use of agrochemicals results in contamination of water due to runoff or leaching. Insecticide induced-hormesis, a phenomenon characterized by low dose stimulation following exposure to insecticide, is crucial to insect pest resurgence. In this study, the effects of low or sublethal concentrations of emamectin benzoate and thiamethoxam on biological traits and genes expression were investigated for yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti following 48 h exposures.

Physiological and molecular responses of house fly (Musca domestica L.) to clove flower bud extracts.

The house fly, Musca domestica, is a major mechanical vector of several pathogens, posing significant public health risks. Due to the hazards associated with indoor use of synthetic insecticides, biopesticides offer an eco-friendly alternative. Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) flower bud extract contains bioactive insecticidal compounds; however, a comprehensive study of its sublethal effects on M.

Sublethal effect and molecular responses of Musca domestica to cinnamon extracts.

The house fly, Musca domestica L., plays a crucial role as a mechanical vector for a variety of pathogens that impact both humans and animals, highlighting the need for effective control measures. Conventional approaches, including sanitation and waste management, exhibit certain constraints, resulting in a dependence on synthetic insecticides that carry potential risks of toxicity and the development of resistance.

Unveiling Drought Tolerant Cotton Genotypes: Insights from Morpho-Physiological and Biochemical Markers at Flowering.

Drought stress substantially restricts cotton growth, decreasing cotton production potential worldwide. This study evaluated cotton genotypes at the flowering stage to identify drought-resilient genotypes under moderate and severe drought conditions using physio-morphic and biochemical markers. Five genotypes were examined in a completely randomized design with three replicates across three treatments.

Impact of field evolved resistance on biological parameters of non-targeted Aedes aegypti populations.

The yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti L., known for transmitting viruses causing yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika fever, presents a substantial risk to global human health. The development of insecticide resistance in disease vectors has become a significant problem in Ae.

Toxicity and Sublethal Effect of Chlorantraniliprole on Multiple Generations of L. (Diptera: Culicidae).

Due to the quick development of insecticide resistance, it is crucial to optimize management programs by understanding the sublethal effects of effective insecticides like chlorantraniliprole on L. populations. Using age-stage and two-sex life tables, we investigated the sublethal impacts of chlorantraniliprole on .
