Molecular identification, characterization, and expression analysis of a novel trypsin inhibitor-like cysteine-rich peptide from the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control - Tập 30 - Trang 1-7 - 2020
Muhammad Shakeel, Junaid Zafar
Trypsin inhibitor-like cysteine-rich domain (TIL)-type protease inhibitors have been reported to inhibit proteases such as trypsin, cathepsin, elastase, and chymotrypsin, and thus play a critical role in several physiological processes. However, the information about TIL peptides in insects is limited. In the present study, a novel cysteine-rich trypsin inhibitor-like protease, designated as HaTIL...... hiện toàn bộ
Isolation and identification of Metarhizium guizhouense Xct1 and its pathogenicity to Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control - Tập 33 - Trang 1-10 - 2023

The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is one of the most destructive invasive pests causing serious damage to maize crops in China. At present, the use of chemical pesticides is the main method to prevent and control S. frugiperda. However, the excessive use of chemical pesticides not only causes toxicity in humans and animals but also pollutes the environ...... hiện toàn bộ
The bagworm, Amicta quadrangularis (Christoph), and its natural enemies in Northern Egypt (Lepidoptera: Psychidae)Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control - Tập 29 - Trang 1-4 - 2019
Monir M. El Husseini, Salama I. Askar
The bagworm, Amicta quadrangularis (Christoph) (Lepidoptera: Psychidae), was found infesting the white broom, Retana raetam (Frossk.) (Fabales: Fabaceae), a flowering wild plant native to northern Africa, in the desert area of Northern Egypt. This study sheds the light on some biological, morphological, and behavioral aspects of this insect species. A survey of the natural enemies associated with ...... hiện toàn bộ

Fusarium crown rot is one of the major diseases that cause significant yield losses of wheat, and Trichoderma strains were known as an effective biocontrol agent. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of coating durum wheat seeds of the cultivar “Karim” with 3 different Tunisian strains of Trichoderma sp. (S.INAT, SIO1, SIO2) and the Trichoderma-based commercial product Trianum-T22 o...... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of the entomopathogenic fungus, Lecanicillium lecanii, on the biology and predation rate of the anthocorid predatory bug, Blaptostethus pallescens, feeding on the flower thrips, Frankliniella schultzei Trybom (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control - Tập 32 - Trang 1-7 - 2022
K. Sundaravalli, Richa Varshney, A. Kandan, K. Revathi
The flower thrips, Frankliniella schultzei Trybom (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is a notorious pest that attacks the plants of economic importance. The anthocorid bug Blaptostethus pallescens Poppius (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) is a predator of thrips in field crops and greenhouses. Another biocontrol agent, the entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) Lecanicillium lecanii (Zimm.) (Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae),...... hiện toàn bộ
