DOI: 10.1002/ps.4699
Abstract: BACKGROUND The lethal time of a chitin synthesis inhibitor (CSI)-baited colony of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki largely depends on the time taken for workers to molt after consuming a lethal dose. Given that termite molting biology… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aspen.2019.06.006
Abstract: Abstract Glycogen synthase (GS) and glycogen phosphorylase (GP) are two key enzymes in the glycogen synthesis pathway, which catalyze trehalose and glucose transformation in insects. GS and GP can be regulated by trehalose metabolism, which… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jee/toab200
Abstract: Subterranean termite control methods using chitin synthesis inhibitors (CSIs) aim at eliminating colonies that feed upon a bait formulation. Several benzoylurea active ingredient formulations are currently commercially available as alternative termite management strategies to liquid… read more here.
