The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly pest control strategy that consists of inundative releases of mass-reared sterilized males over defined areas, where they mate with wild females, resulting in no offspring an...
α-Glucosidase isoform G contributes to heme detoxification in Rhodnius prolixus and its knockdown affects Trypanosoma cruzi metacyclogenesis [0.03%]
Rhodnius prolixus的α-葡萄糖苷酶同工酶G参与血红素解毒及其敲低影响Trypanosoma cruzi的代谢周期

Fernanda Ferreira Maissner et al.
The triatomine bug Rhodnius prolixus is a hematophagous hemipteran and a primary vector of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas' disease (CD), in Central America and Northern South America. Blood-feeding poses significant challe...
Differentially expressed microRNAs in brains of adult females may regulate the maternal block of diapause in Sarcophaga bullata [0.03%]
Sarcophaga bullata成年雌性脑中差异表达的microRNA可能调节休眠的母源阻断作用

Julie A Reynolds
The maternal regulation of diapause is one type of phenotypic plasticity where the experience of the mother leads to changes in the phenotype of her offspring that impact how well-suited they will be to their future environment. Sarcophaga ...

Insects are valuable models for studying innate immunity and its role in combating infections. The silkworm Bombyx mori L., a well-studied insect model, is susceptible to a range of pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and microsp...
Consistent differences in tissue oxygen levels across 15 insect species reflect a balance between oxygen supply and demand and highlight a hitherto unknown adaptation for extracting sufficient oxygen from water [0.03%]
来自15种昆虫的组织氧水平的持续差异反映了氧气供给和需求之间的平衡，并突显了一种迄今为止不为人知的从水中提取足够氧气的适应性机制

Animals, including insects, need oxygen for aerobic respiration and eventually asphyxiate without it. Aerobic respiration, however, produces reactive oxygen species (ROS), which contribute to dysfunction and aging. Animals appear to balance...
A Rhodnius prolixus catalytically inactive Calpain protease patterns the insect embryonic dorsal-ventral axis [0.03%]
无活性的Calpain蛋白酶模式化昆虫胚胎背腹轴

Standard metabolic rates (SMR) of ectotherms reflect the energetic cost of self-maintenance and thus provide important information about life-history strategies of organisms. We examined variation in SMR among fifteen species of New Zealand...
