Abstract: Genetic variability in insect vectors is valuable to study vector competence determinants and to select non-vector populations that may help reduce the spread of vector-borne pathogens. We collected and tested vector competency of 15 isofemale… read more here.

Genetic variation for rectal gland volatiles among recently collected isofemale lines and a domesticated strain of Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni (Diptera: Tephritidae)

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0285099
Abstract: Divergence between populations in mating behaviour can function as a potent premating isolating mechanism and promote speciation. However, very few cases of inherited intraspecific variation in sexual signalling have been reported in tephritid fruit flies,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1653/024.101.0325
Abstract: Abstract This study evaluated the flight propensity of 6 isofemale lines of Trichogramma pretiosum Riley (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) using a flight test developed as a quality control measure for mass reared Trichogramma wasps. The same isofemale… read more here.
