Thrips hawaiiensis (Morgan, 1913) (Thysanoptera, Thripidae), a frequent pest in crops and horticultural plants, is widely distributed in China. However, the population evolutionary history and genetic variability of T. hawaiiensis is unknown. In the current study, the genetic diversity and structure of T. hawaiiensis from thirteen host plants in two regions were detected using mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene and six microsatellite loci. From 123 individuals collected from thirteen flowering hosts, 23 haplotypes were identified, and the high genetic diversity of T. hawaiiensis was demonstrated by COI sequence and microsatellite data. Haplotype analysis indicated two clusters of T. hawaiiensis populations, Bayesian clustering analysis and PCoA analysis also supported this result. The genetic differentiation coefficient (F_st) and gene flow (Nm) showed weak gene differentiation and relatively high gene flow in T. hawaiiensis from different hosts. This might be facilitated through human activities, especially CL and GYZYMRJ with the closest geographical distance. The results of demographic analysis suggested that the differences in genetic structure of T. hawaiiensis from different host plants are not obvious, and genetic changes may be related to pesticide stres. The possible influences of T. hawaiiensis invasion history and human activities on the current haplotype host distribution were interpreted.

Laos was a country with a developing sericulture industry, but a high incidence of bacterial diseases happened in silkworms. The bacteria isolated from diseased silkworms collected in Laos were studied. The results showed that the four bacteria strains were isolated, The BmLT was the large number of silkworms infected and may be the mainly bacteria, its whole genome of BmLT was sequenced, was composed of a circular chromosome and 5 plasmids, with a genome of 5819010 bp and published in NCBI (PRJNA1111294). Six scaffolds were spliced, including 1 chromosome and 5 plasmids, of which 4 were known plasmids; one was a novel and published in NCBI (NZ-CP053290.1). Pfam annotation has 7 protein structure domains, 4 COG classifications, 22 COG types, and 4079 genes. The percentage of genes with COG annotation in all genes was 70.16 %. The GO and KEGG annotation analyses of annotated genes encompassed various metabolic and synthesis pathways, membrane transport, signal transduction, cell cycle, and disease-related pathways, involving 4392 genes, which accounted for 75.54 % of all genes. Genomic mapping analysis showed that it inclded seven Clusters of Orthologous Groups and 4th could encode inferred AbiEii toxins. Pathogenic system analysis showed, it included 541 virulence factor genes with promoting effects and 301 resistance genes, indicated that the bacteria had undergone pressure evolution from current sericulture and livestock production, as well as various antibiotics used by humans. PHI analysis showed it including 985 genes related to pathogen host, indicated,that it had undergone complex coevolution with silkworms or other hosts.

Spiralizoros hainanensis (Yin & Li, 2015) (Zoraptera: Spiralizoridae) was originally described in Hainan, China. Here, we report for the first time the occurrence of this species in Vietnam on the basis of specimens from Lâm Đồng Province. Via a combination of newly generated molecular data and a detailed morphological investigation of S. hainanensis, we confirmed that the DNA data of this species from Vietnam were previously published under the name Zorotypus sp. This species represents the only known Zoraptera species from Vietnam. In addition to contributing to the morphology of adult males and females, we present a molecular phylogenetic reconstruction of Zoraptera specifically focused on the genus Spiralizoros Kočárek, Horká & Kundrata, 2020 and the position of S. hainanensis.

This study evaluated the macrolide antibiotic azithromycin (AZR) as an alternative chemical for managing the model pest fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster (Meigen) (Diptera: Drosophilidae). The effects of AZR on survival rate, developmental time, adult longevity and larval cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CYP450) activity of D. melanogaster were assessed at dietary concentrations of 100, 200, 400 and 800 mg/L. Dietary AZR significantly reduced survival at all developmental stages. At the highest concentration (800 mg/L), AZR significantly reduced adult emergence from 87.00 ± 3.35 to 6.00 ± 1.00 % (χ2 = 112.511; d.f. = 1; P < 0.05) and increased developmental time to adulthood from 8.44 ± 0.12 to 9.87 ± 0.36 days (F = 3.566; d.f. = 4, 15; P < 0.05). Adult longevity was sharply reduced from 22.63 ± 0.68 to 2.75 ± 0.12 days (F = 172.020; d.f. = 4, 15; P < 0.05). However, AZR at 200–400 mg/L did not lead to a significant increase developmental time. In addition to decreased survival and prolonged developmental time in the 3rd instar, the highest AZR concentration significantly increased CYP450 enzyme activity in the larvae by approximately 7-fold (F = 795.256; df = 4, 15; P < 0.05). These findings suggest that antibiotic-based dietary formulation serve as promising alternative chemical management strategies for pest fruit flies, such as Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), as part of an integrated pest management program.

Since its introduction in 1998, Bemisia tabaci has become a major pest affecting greenhouse crops in the Republic of Korea. Insecticidal treatment remains the primary strategy for controlling B. tabaci. The initially introduced B. tabaci populations, identified as the B biotype, were susceptible to neonicotinoids and pyriproxyfen. However, the subsequent dominance of the Q biotype, coupled with the development of insecticide resistance, has necessitated a reassessment of insecticide concentrations. This study evaluated the efficacy of eight commercial insecticides with different modes of action against a laboratory strain (Q biotype) using a leaf-dip assay. The resistance index (RI), defined as the LC₉₀ value divided by the recommended concentration (RC), was employed to assess resistance levels. Four insecticides, pyridaben, milbemectin, spinetoram, and cyantraniliprole, were found to be effective, with RI values below 1. Spiromesifen and sulfoxaflor showed RI values of 1.7 and 5.6, respectively, indicating a need for alternative strategies to ensure effective field control. Notably, the laboratory strain, even after ten years without insecticide exposure, exhibited RI values of 23.8 and 51.3 for thiacloprid and pyriproxyfen, respectively, showing less than 50% control efficacy at 1x RC treatment. These findings underscore the inadequacy of current RCs for commercial products, which were originally established based on bioassays of the B biotype strain. To effectively manage B. tabaci, the RCs of commercial insecticides must be recalibrated based on the susceptible strain of the Q biotype, now the dominant biotype in Korea.

The subfamily Rutelinae belongs to the family Scarabaeidae, which is famous for their colorful body and phytophagous habitat. So far, only nine complete mitochondrial genomes of Rutelinae have been sequenced. The Kibakoganea becomes concerning genus in Rutelini and with ornamental value in Rutelinae because of their enlarged and horn-like mandibles. Herein, the complete mitochondrial genomes of three species, K. tamdaoensi, K. fujiokai ushizanu, and K. vernicata, were sequenced and characterized using next-generation sequencing in this study, which also represents the first sequenced mitogenome in this genus. A comparative mt genomic analysis was conducted on the three sequenced species of Kibakoganea. The mt genome size of those three species ranged from 18,572 bp to 18,666 bp in length, including 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes) and the control region. The gene arrangements are highly consistent with other Coleoptera species. Most of the 13 PCGs used ATN as their start codons, except COX1 which used ACT. Except for tRNA-Ser (AGN), whose DHU arm simply formed a loop, the rest of the tRNA sequences could be folded into a typical cloverleaf secondary structure. The phylogenetic analyses using both Bayesian inference (BI) and maximum likelihood (ML) methods supported the monophyly of the genus Kibakoganea. Our results showed that among the Kibakoganea, K. vernicata and K. tamdaoensis had the closer relationship. This study contributes to increase our understanding of mitochondrial genomics and phylogenetic relationship of Rutelinae.

Major diseases like Zika, dengue, and chikungunya spread by Aedes aegypti have affected the lives of millions of people worldwide and continue to threaten billions. Controlling Ae. aegypti poses a significant challenge as the species has also evolved resistance to synthetic insecticides. The objective of the present study was to synthesize selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) utilizing Mentha spicata (mint) leaf extract and evaluate their efficacy in managing Ae. aegypti third instar larvae and two gram-positive (Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus) and two gram-negative food-borne pathogens (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumonia). The formation of Ms-SeNPs was confirmed using UV–Vis spectra (absorption peak at 268 nm), FTIR (functional peaks at 3418, 3006, 2915, 1632, 1382, 1200, 1047, 823, and 689 cm⁻¹), and FESEM (rod shape). The size of the Ms-SeNPs was also analyzed using DLS (the average particle diameter is 111.1 nm). The Ms-SeNPs were also active on four food-borne pathogens and displayed strong inhibitory zones. The Ae. aegypti 3rd instar larvae that were treated with Ms-SeNPs showed promising larvicidal activities (LC₅₀ value of 85.54 µg/ml and an LC₉₀ value of 190.53 µg/ml). Furthermore, we examined the impact of Ms-SeNPs on the expression of functional genes, glutathione S transferase-2 (GST-2) and NO5-cytochrome P450 (NO5-CYP450), in Ae. aegypti. The overall findings validate the efficacy of Ms-SeNPs in managing both mosquitoes and bacterial pathogens, hence aiding in the development of versatile, environmentally friendly compounds.

A new species of non-luminous firefly, Lamellipalpodes asmita Chakrovorty & Bhattacharjee sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Lampyridae: Ototretinae) discovered from the campus of the University of Kalyani, West Bengal, India is described, illustrated and compared with other known species of the genus from India. The male genitalia, morphometry and other important characters are illustrated and described. Additionally, a dichotomous identification key to Indian Lamellipalpodes is provided. The mechanoreceptive and chemoreceptive sensilla of Lamellipalpodes asmita Chakrovorty & Bhattacharjee sp. nov. were studied utilizing scanning electron microscopy. Ten different types of sensilla namely, sensilla ampullacea, sensilla basiconica, sensilla chaetica, sensilla coeloconica, sensilla placodea, sensilla styloconica, sensilla trichodia, cone-shaped sensillum, dome-shaped sensilla, peg-like sensilla and their twenty-four different subtypes have been identified with maxillary and labial palps possessing eight subtypes not found on antennomeres. Cone-shaped, dome-shaped and peg-like sensilla were of distinct, previously unknown morphology. This study unravels the significance of the atypical maxillary palp and labial palp morphology of the species and sheds light on structure–function relationship of these unusual morphological features.

Cerambycinae (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) is a highly diverse subfamily of longhorned beetles, recognized for its significant economic and ecological importance. However, its phylogenetic relationships, even in the less diverse and much better understood fauna of the Northern Hemisphere, remain underexplored. Our study presents a preliminary phylogenetic analysis of the subfamily with a focus on primarily Palaearctic genera Isotomus Mulsant, 1862, Neoplagionotus Kasatkin, 2005, and Ropalopus Mulsant, 1839, as well as the type genus of Cerambycidae, Cerambyx Linnaeus, 1758. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian Inference analyses were conducted utilising two mitochondrial markers, COI and 16S rRNA, and two divergent domains (D1 and D2) of a nuclear marker, 28S rRNA, for 129 termini, 35 of them first time presented in this study. According to our results, Cerambyx was found to be paraphyletic due to the inclusion of Pseudaeolesthes. Ropalopus clustered with Callidium, Oupyrrhidium, and Semanotus in a distinct group from Phymatodes and Pyrrhidium that supports polyphyly of Callidini. In the tribe Clytini, Neoplagionotus was sister to Echinocerus, and they were separated from Plagionotus. The type species of Isotomus, I. speciosus, was placed sister to Demonax.
