Abstract: Some pesticides are applied directly to aquatic systems to reduce numbers of mosquito larvae (larvicides) and thereby reduce transmission of pathogens that mosquitoes vector to humans and wildlife. Sustained, environmentally-safe control of larval mosquitoes is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jspr.2017.04.003
Abstract: Abstract Efficacy of aerosol applications of pyrethrin + methoprene was assessed through emergence of morphologically-normal adults exposed as larvae and through a developmental index. Concrete arenas were treated with aerosol droplets (particles) averaging 2 μm or 16 μm, food… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0007485322000621
Abstract: Abstract Methoprene, a juvenile hormone analog, is used to accelerate sexual maturation in males of species of economic importance in support to the sterile insect technique (SIT). In the SIT, mass-reared sterile males are released… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12864-020-07354-8
Abstract: Background The lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica is a serious pest of stored grains. Fumigation and contact insecticides play a major role in managing this pest globally. While insects are developing genetic resistance to chemicals,… read more here.
