First report of the enset root mealybug Paraputo ensete (Williams & Matile-Ferrero) (Hem.: Pseudococcidae) on banana in Ethiopia - Fikadu Erenso; Guy Blomme; Georg Goergen; Mitiku Muanenda; Elizabeth Kearsley; Temesgen Addis (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2023)
Enset root mealybugs, a major pest affecting the cultivation of the enset crop in the Ethiopian highlands, have for the first time been observed on banana mats indicating the potential host status of Musa spp. These observations were made under natural conditions in backyard gardens in the Gedeo zone, southern Ethiopia, on the root system of banana mats of the ‘Pisang Awak’ (local name ‘Feranji Muz’, ABB genome group) landrace. Here, we confirm the identification of the collected enset root mealybug specimens on banana mat root systems as Paraputo ensete (Williams & Matile-Ferrero) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) through DNA analysis.

Phenological responses of Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) to climate warming in China based on long-term historical data - Pumo Cai; Yunzhe Song; Litao Meng; Jia Lin; Mengting Zhao; Qingfeng Wu; Chuanpeng Nie; Yanyan Li; Qinge Ji (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2023)
It is well accepted that the phenology of insects whose life activities are closely related to temperature is changing in response to global climate warming. To investigate the impacts of climate warming on the phenology of Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) across large temporal and spatial scales, this study collected historical data on the occurrence and population dynamic of this pest in China, and systematically explored its phenological responses. The results showed a delayed trend for the dates of first occurrence, end occurrence, population initial growth, and population peak of B. dorsalis in China during 40 years, and the changes of the latter two phenological parameters were significant. The mean temperature in spring and summer were the key climatic factors affecting the occurrence and population growth of B. dorsalis in China, respectively. Moreover, the B. dorsalis data in eastern, southern, central, and southwestern China showed spatial heterogeneity of phenological responses to climate warming at a regional scale. B. dorsalis phenology and their changing patterns with climate warming varied by geographical location. This study provides valuable information for future monitoring, prediction, and prevention of the oriental fruit fly in the context of climate warming.

Novel control of house fly Musca domestica and bacterial isolates by ozone gas - Ahmed M. Metwally; Salem S. Salem; Kotb M. Hammad; Khaled H. Metwaly; Mohamed A. Awad (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2023)
Ozone is a sturdy oxidant which canrub insects and microorganisms. Thus, it could be useful in eliminate the Housefly in hospitals. The purpose of test here is to determine degree of ozone exposure required to remove houseflies and reduction of pathogenic bacteria. Ozone was effective with housefly, requiring only low minutes of treatment (1 to 14 min.) at minimum concentrations of ozone gas O 3 (0.125 g/m 3 to 1 g/m 3 ), the insects were eliminated the ozone. Thus, ozone exhibit potential as a fumigant for ousefly nesting materials, but moreover research is needed to evaluate its acceptability and efficacy in that field. The need for a dependable method to decontaminate housefly nesting materials as part of an overall ousefly ( Musca domestica ) system at hospitals sterilization is discussed. In this paper, we are using ozone gas as an alternative housefly pest and to remove house flies at hospitals, and we also illustrate data on the efficacy of ozone against the housefly ( Musca domestica ) and its effect on specific characteristics and properties of the treated zone application is currently attracting attention, particularly since. (a) There are no residues on the product. (b) There is no need for aeration to remove the gas. Green synthesis industrial applications and improvements in ozone technology together with new regulatory actions worldwide have emerged in last years, making it easier to use and applicable in a wide range - as the same with the pathogenic bacteria we are using ozone gas to control it, the numbers of bacterial cells remaining after ozone treatments were less than for untreated cells. The lowest dose of ozone gas for complete reduction of pathogenic bacteria was 0.125 g/m 3 after 24 h of incubation.

Habitat type affects the diversity of dung beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) assemblages in a neotropical mountainous region of Colombia - Renato Portela Salomão; Alejandro Lopera-Toro; Luz Astrid Pulido-Herrera; Jorge Armando Arias-Buriticá (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2023)
Ecological communities of tropical regions respond to habitat configuration, being negatively affected by anthropogenic habitats. In the tropics, mountainous highland landscapes sustain ecological communities with contrasting responses to habitat transformation. This study assessed the effect of different habitats under different disturbance regimes on the dung beetle assemblage that inhabits a mountainous Andean landscape in Colombia. The habitat types surveyed were oak forest cores (low intervention), forest edges (medium intervention), and pastures (high intervention). A total of 3,810 dung beetles from ten species were collected. Dung beetle diversity was affected by habitat type, and forest cores and forest edges had higher diversity than pastures. Besides, each habitat type was characterized by a distinct dung beetle assemblage, with pastures showing the highest heterogeneity in the dung beetle assemblage. In conclusion, our study suggests that the dung beetles of a portion of Colombian Andean landscapes are sensitive to shifts of habitat quality. The higher dung beetle diversity in forested habitats indicates that pastures comprise limiting environments for their assemblages at this Andean region.

Individual and combined treatments with imidacloprid and spinosad disrupt survival, life-history traits, and nutritional physiology of Spodoptera littoralis - El-Sayed H. Shaurub; Amer I. Tawfik; Asmaa M. El-Sayed (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2023)
The Egyptian cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis (Boisduval) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a pervasive agricultural polyphagous insect pest. Because of the negative side-effects of conventional pesticides used in agricultural fields, safer alternatives for insect pest management are required. We evaluated here susceptibility, biological features, and nutritional indices of S. littoralis after treatment of 4 th -instar larvae with the neonicotinoid imidacloprid and the spinosyn spinosad separately or in combination. Larvae were fed for three successive days on treated leaves of castor-bean Ricinus communis using leaf-dip technique (treatment period). In addition, in case of nutritional indices study, treated leaves were replaced by fresh untreated leaves for two successive days (recovery period). Spinosad was more toxic than imidacloprid, and their combination revealed additive effects based on the co-toxicity factor. Individual and combined treatments significantly decreased pupation rate, adult emergence rate, pupal weight, number of eggs laid per female, egg-hatch, and female longevity, compared to those of controls. Pupal and adult malformations were recorded. During the treatment period, nutritional indices were insecticide- and time-dependent. On the 2 nd day of recovery, all nutritional indices of treated larvae were not significantly different, compared to those of controls. The results presented herein may help in developing more effective crop protection methodologies within integrated pest management of this insect.

Effect of entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema species (steinernematidae: rhabditida) and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (heterorhabditidae: rhabditida) on the digestive enzymes and midgut histology of the African migratory locust Locusta migratoria migratorioides (acrididae: orthoptera) - Zeinab Fathy; Randa Mohammed Abd El-Rahman (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2023)
In some governorates of Egypt, the African migratory locust L. migratoria migratorioides is in a gregarious phase. Swarm development was successfully prevented by biological control agents. In this work, the two entomopathogenic nematode species, Steinernema sp. (SII)and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (HP88) were investigated as natural enemies against the fifth nymph and adult African locusts at various concentrations (300, 600, 900, 1200, and 1500 Infected juveniles/100 g. soil). To ascertain fatal activity at 25 °C, the nematode-inoculated sand method was used. The two nematode species were semi-field administered against fifth nymphs and adult stages at (25 ± 2 °C) and 55–60% relative humidity with concentrations (3000, 6000, 9000, 12000, and 15000 Infected juveniles/kg. soil). Protease, amylase, invertase, and trehalase levels in the digestive enzymes of both fifth nymphs and adults fed with LC 50 of both nematodes significantly decreased, but lipase and chitinase levels significantly increased. Adult locusts treated with the LC 50 of S . sp. SII had basophilic epithelial cells, severe lumen hemorrhage, and highly aberrant proliferating cytoplasm, whereas the LC 50 of H. bacteriophora HP88 displayed necrosis in an epithelial cell with vacuoles, loss of nucleus, and loss of goblet cells.

Bioactivity of Cinnamomum verum powder and extract against Cryptolestes ferrugineus S., Rhyzopertha dominica F. and Sitophilus granarius L. (Coleoptera) - Hend A. Mahmoud; Mohamed M. Azab; Fatma M. A. Sleem (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2023)
The world is heading to increase the productivity, quantity and quality, of basic crops, but the stored grain pests destroy all these efforts and reduce its quality. This study aims to assess activity of Cinnamomum verum powder and extract against Cryptolestes ferrugineus , Rhyzopertha dominica , and Sitophilus granarius . Residual film of cinnamon was tested with and without grains (as contact toxicity). Repellent activity was estimated by using choice chamber method and waved filter paper for powder and extract, respectively. There were significant differences among all tested insects. S. granarius was more affected with cinnamon extract than C. ferrugineus followed by R. dominica . LC 50 values were 1.01, 1.37 and 3.13% at 24 h. While, C. ferrugineus was more affected with powder than S. granarius followed by R. dominica . For repellent activity, C. ferrugineus was the most affected with the powder and extract followed by R. dominica and S. granarius , where, the mean repellent percentages were 100, 98 and 82% for the powder and 86.94, 62.78 and 29.44% for the extract, respectively. The repellent percentage increased with increasing the concentration and the time of exposure. Cinnamon powder and extract can be used as insecticide against stored grain pests by easy way and safety to human and the environment.

Assessing the efficacy of un and gamma-irradiated entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema carpocapsae as an eco-friendly approach to control Agrotis ipsilon larvae - Rehab Mahmoud Sayed; Tammy Samir El Sayed; Salwa Abdou Rizk (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2023)
The black cutworm, Agrotis ipsilon (Hufnagel) is one of the most devastating agricultural pests that attack different crops worldwide. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) have been utilized in classical, conservation, and augmentative biological control programs. Consequently, this study was designed to estimate the efficacy of an unirradiated and gamma-irradiated entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema carpocapsae (all), against A. ipsilon larvae as a safe control tool to reduce chemical environmental hazards. The virulence of different concentrations (10, 20, 30 and 40 IJs/ml) of unirradiated and gamma-irradiated (with 2 Gy) of S. carpocapsae was evaluated. Changes in peroxidase (Px) and polyphenyl oxidase (PPO) zymographic patterns were also investigated after larvae were treated with LC 50 values for S. carpocapsae. The results revealed that larval mortality increased with increasing S. carpocapsae concentration and time after treatment. The 2 Gy gamma-irradiated S. carocapsae caused a greater pathogenic effect than the unirradiated S. carocapsae , where the LC 50 values of 2 Gy gamma-irradiated S. carocapsae were 31.19 and 17.78 IJs/ml after 1 and 2 days, respectively, compared to 113.23 and 65.83 IJs/ml for unirradiated S. carocapsae . For the toxicity index, gamma irradiation at a dose of 2 Gy was selected and given an arbitrary 100 units and considered a standard treatment. Analysis of gel electrophoresis revealed 3 bands of Px and PPO in control larvae; treatment with unirradiated and irradiated S. carpocapsae caused the disappearance of the first band of both enzymes and lowered the intensity of the other 2 bands. The laboratory studies revealed that 2 Gy gamma-irradiated S. carpocapsae could be used as an eco-safe management tool against A. ipsilon larvae under field conditions.

Spectroradiometer and thermal imaging as tools from remote sensing used for early detection of spiny bollworm, Earias insulana (Boisd.) infestation - Mona M. El Hoseny; Hassan F. Dahi; Akila M. El Shafei; M. S. Yones (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2022)
The spiny bollworm (SBW), Earias insulana (Boisd.), is from the most destructive cotton pests in Egypt. Larvae can reduce the yield about 40%. Monitoring and forecasting have become an integral aspect of the crop production system in developed countries to control pests. Recently, remote sensing has gained popularity in agriculture for pest monitoring, yield forecasting and early warning to crop growers for proper time in pest management with the least quantity of ground sampling possible.This work aims to measure the validity of using a new methodology for pest detection in cotton bolls without exposing the plant to any danger., This action could be conducted by making a spectroscopy check using spectroradiometer for every boll in field and compare this reading automatically with the spectral library that was built in earlier by measuring numbers of well-known bolls (healthy and infected measuring of some Vegetation Indices (MCARI, TCARI, NPCI, NDVI, NDWI, WBI) also done from reflectance values that carried out, in order to detect the best indices affected by pest infection. Thermal imaging also was done to differentiate between diseased and non-infected tissue. The results described the reflectance spectra of cotton bolls with known SBW infestations and healthy ones and could identify the certain narrow band that is sensitive to SBW damage, BLUE band has found to be the best for spectrally identifying infested bolls. Normalized Pigment Chlorophyll Index (NPCI) is the best index among vegetation indices used in this research. Complementally, to use remote sensing applications, thermal imaging was used to detect thermal patterns associated with insect infestation. The result of study indicate the validity of using spectral measurement and thermal imaging as a tools of remote sensing in detection of the presence of spiny boll worm without wasting and ruined the bolls in field, this method could be also effective in detection of other pests on other crops.

Protein content and antioxidants in both bee bread and honeybee workers were analyzed investigating the relationships between those two parameters. Results indicated significant differences between both protein and antioxidant content [total antioxidant content (TAX), glutathione (GSH) and lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels] of bee bread types. Generally, workers fed sugar syrup only (control) had significantly lower protein content, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and GSH in comparison to bees fed bee bread at all studied ages. On the other hand, LPO levels in control worker bees were significantly higher than those of bees fed fennel, maize, cucumber, clover, and broad bean bee bread. Results also showed a positive relationship between protein content and antioxidants in bee bread and between protein content and the antioxidant system of honeybees, respectively. There was a negative correlation between protein content and antioxidants. In addition, the present study showed that both the protein quantity and quality of bee bread are important for honeybees. To our knowledge, this study is the first to report the relationship between antioxidant content in bee bread and antioxidant system of honeybees. The present study showed a causal link between antioxidant system and protein content in honeybees, and the contents of both antioxidants and protein in bee bread.

The study on age specific life table of Bombyx mori Linn. race NB 4 D 2 x SH 6 reared on leaves of mulberry ( Morus alba ) plant variety S-1 at two different temperatures viz. control temperature (25 ± 1 °C) with 75 ± 5% relative humidity and room temperature in the laboratory of Sericulture Research, Demonstration and Training Unit, Department of Entomology, College of Agriculture, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture & Technology, Meerut-250110 (Uttar Pradesh), India. Data revealed that Bombyx mori Linn. race NB4D2 x SH6 required 37 and 40 days to complete its life cycle at control temperature (25 ± 1 °C) with 75 ± 5% relative humidity and room temperature, respectively. At control temperature, the highest mortality 85.19 per cent was exhibited at 36th day followed by 49.06 per cent at 35th day and the lowest mortality 1.12 per cent was recorded on 5th day followed by 1.14 per cent on 6th day. In case of room temperature, the highest mortality 88.89 per cent was recorded at 39th day followed by 66.67 per cent at 38th day and lowest mortality 1.20 per cent was recorded at 8th day followed by 1.35 per cent at 15th day. There an initial drop in survivorship (l x ) was seen followed by an intermittent steady decline with long pauses till the formation of adult and sharp decline was observed at adult stage in both the conditions viz., control temperature (25 ± 1 °C) with 75 ± 5% relative humidity as well as at room temperature till the end of generation.

Priority host plants for Ceratitis capitata, mediterranean fruit fly, based on the host reproduction number for surveillance, trade and eradication programs - B.C. Dominiak; R. Taylor-Hukins (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2022)
Hosts of tephritids are known to vary in their capacity to support the life cycle from egg lay to adult. This capability is measured by the Host Reproduction Number (HRN) which the number of adults that emerge from one kg of fruit. Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly) is one of the economically important fruit flies and is distributed worldwide. Many Medfly hosts are known but data to quantify their capacity to support the life cycle is scattered through many reports. Here, we reviewed published literature and found data on 146 potential hosts. We placed them in order of HRN and their Host Suitability Index. The HRN values ranged from bird plum (HRN = 1019) to three species of Syzygium which were non hosts (HRN = 0). The HRN order will help to inform and triage hosts for targeted surveillance and eradication programs and inform disinfestation activities associated with incursion response management, and for trade and risk mitigation.

Oviposition deterrence and repellent activities of selected essential oils against Tuta absoluta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae): laboratory and greenhouse investigations - Mirella Lo Pinto; Leandro Vella; Alfonso Agrò (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2022)
Tuta absoluta , an invasive pinworm characterized by high reproductive potential and adaptation to different agroecological conditions, cause serious damage to tomato crops. Chemical control with synthetic insecticides is widely used to control this pest, although pesticides exhibit side effects on non-target organisms and negatively impact the environment, with the occurrence of resistance to some active substances in the target pest. The use of essential oils (EOs) from aromatic or officinal plants could represent an environmentally safe control method, alternative to synthetic insecticide application. In this work we investigated the effect of EOs from Spanish oregano, laurel, basil, garlic, peppermint, cypress, and eucalyptus EOs on T. absoluta oviposition deterrence and larval repellency. Results showed a remarkable oviposition deterrence using laurel, Spanish oregano, basil, and garlic EOs in both laboratory and greenhouse experiments. In no-choice repellence tests carried 1, 2, 6, and 22 h after treatment application, peppermint and Spanish oregano EOs showed the most lasting effects while cypress and eucalyptus EOs were not effective after 6 and 22 h, respectively. In choice tests, at either 5 or 22 h after treatment application, low preference for the test over control by larvae was observed in all treatments, except for basil EO. The most promising effects were observed in Spanish oregano and laurel treatments where no larvae were detected. Repellent effectiveness of EOs does not seem to be influenced when larvae did not get a chance to do a choice between treated and untreated leaves. This study highlights the effectiveness of EOs of aromatic or officinal plants as an alternative to synthetic insecticides for the control of T. absoluta .

Estimation of crop losses in Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp. and Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek caused by blister beetle, Mylabris pustulata Thunberg (Coleoptera: Meloidae) - Gurjeet Singh; Ravinder Singh; Akanksha Singla (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2022)
Losses caused by Mylabris pustulata Thunberg in pigeonpea and mungbean at various beetle densities were assessed under net house/caged and field conditions. The observations revealed that the blister beetle caused considerable crop losses to both the pigeonpea and mungbean crops as under net house conditions, M. pustulata Thunberg at 200 beetles/cage caused the maximum reduction of 54.18, 20.15 and 64.88 per cent in pod setting, seed setting and grain yield in pigeonpea, respectively. Similarly, in mungbean, M. pustulata Thunberg at 4 beetles/cage caused maximum reduction up to 67.14, 26.65 and 75.29 per cent in pod setting, seed setting and grain yield, respectively. However, under unprotected conditions, 46.77 and 35.90 per cent of yield losses were recorded in pigeonpea and mungbean, respectively as compared to 0% under protected conditions. Thus, justifying that M. pustulata Thunberg is a major threat to both pulse crops and needs to be managed efficiently to avoid the significant crop losses caused by it.

Four types of biochars were prepared from rice husk as farm waste, sugarcane bagasse as sugar cane juice store waste, residues of Leucaena leucocephala tree as horticulture waste and chicken manure as chicken farm reduce at 700 ο C, then evaluated as a alternative to control Tribolium castaneum , Rhyzopertha dominica , Oryzaephlius surinamensis and Sitophilus oryzae . The character of each type has been defined using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with an Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to identify the elemental composition and functional groups distributed on biochars surface. The elemental compositions refer to the chicken manure biochar exhibited a decrease in Carbon concentration and increase Oxygen content; there is a negative correlation between C and O contents. On the other hand, the chicken manure biochar is the only tested biochar that contains Ca, P, and Cl. The chicken manure biochar has the largest number of functional groups on its surface, the mortality of insects was recorded after 10 days which showed that the chicken manure biochar was the most effective which contains more different elements and functional groups on its surface. The most affected insects were O.surinamensis and R. dominica with mortality percentages 86.66 and 73.33. Smaller particles of chicken manure biochar were more effective than larger particles against both R . dominica and O . surinamensis , the smaller particles (1.80—0.94 µm) recorded LC 50 1.29 and 0.56 g/kg against R. dominica and O. surinamensis. SEM images for the affected insects showed the adhesion of biochar particles on insect’s body parts, also, the sensilla were disappeared as a result of the friction between biochar particles and insect cuticle. Our results may indicate the promising features of biochar as an alternative method to control some stored product insects with considering the source of biochar which affect its elemental and functional groups contents. Biochar had different efficacy depending upon its moisture contents, with increased moisture the toxicity of biochar decreased.

Edible insects: A bibliometric analysis and current trends of published studies (1953–2021) - Ruchita Rao Kavle; Ellenna Tamsin Maree Pritchard; Alaa El-Din Ahmed Bekhit; Alan Carne; Dominic Agyei (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2022)
Edible insects have huge potential as an important alternative food and feed, and research in this area has developed considerably over the past few decades. In this study, a bibliometric analysis was conducted for the first time to provide a quantitative and visualization analysis of the trends in the edible insect research landscape. Documents on 'edible insects' OR 'insects as food' OR 'entomophagy' published from 1953 until 2021 were retrieved from the Scopus database and analyzed in terms of publication output, active journals and countries, leading authors, and institutes, and main keywords. The VOSviewer program was used to visualize trends in the bibliographic information. A total of 1376 documents were published in this time duration on the topic. Meyer-Rochow, Van Huis; Journal of Insect as Food and Feed ; and Wageningen University and Research were respectively the top publishing authors, leading journals, and research institutes. Keywords analysis and categorization of studies highlighted 'food security', 'food neophobia', 'functional properties', 'food processing', and 'sustainability' as some of the main areas of interest and research trends, and that research on 'edible insects' is highly multidisciplinary. We have surmised potential 'hotspot' areas of developing research and key players and activities that can drive the research and development of edible insects for use as food. International collaborations to bridge knowledge and habit of entomophagy in many developing countries with the skills and facilities of developed countries could lead to accelerated utilization and commercialization of this food source.

Use of lures with a mix of sweet and fetid odors for catching Musca domestica L. in domestic environments - Salvatore Guarino; Marco Caimi; Mokhtar Abdulsattar Arif; Pietro Zito (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2022)
The housefly, Musca domestica L. (Diptera; Muscidae), is an insect closely associated with human activities in urban and rural environments and is thus a crucial factor in the transmission of various fecal–oral pathogens. The use of traps for monitoring and controlling these species in indoors is often limited by the fetid nature of the chemical attractants commonly used. A recent study demonstrated the attraction of houseflies to terpenoids, which are perceived by humans as a sweet odor. The aim of this study was to test pleasant smelling compounds such as terpinolene, α-terpinene and linalool mixed with others (acetic, butyric, isovaleric and hexanoic acid, indole and dimethyl trisulfide) known to attract houseflies to obtain a lure that could be acceptable in domestic environments. Experiments were carried out in the laboratory, using olfactometer, and in two rooms of 32 m 3 and 108 m 3 , each resembling domestic environments using trap bioassays. The results showed that the volatile blend tested elicited attraction in the olfactometer and increased the number of flies captured by the traps. In the smaller room, the lure demonstrated efficacy for two weeks from the start of the experiment, while in the larger room the number of captured flies was higher than in the control traps only during the first week. The results confirmed the attraction of the flies to the traps baited with the blend, the application of the lures in domestic environments can be taken into consideration as a new alternative tool for trapping this pest.
