The midges (Chironomidae, Diptera) constitute perhaps the most widespread group of aquatic insects, and larval forms of midges typically represent the most abundant macroinvertebrates in wetlands. Other ecologically important, widespread groups include the mosquitoes, dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata), ...

burrowing larvae on the host, on or near open wounds, to attachment to other bloodsucking insects. While not generally the result of an insect bite, myiasis can produce pustules and lesions similar to insect bites. These lesions
Exposure to olean does not influence feeding damage onS. altissima.T. virgatalarvae consumed significantly less leaf tissue on plants exposed toE,S-conophthorin, compared to solvent controls or plants exposed to olean. (ANOVAF2,18 = 29.4,P = 0.0004,n = 7). Data shown are not...
Among the possible insect species that can be used in fish feeds, the Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) Hermetia illucens has been the most studied in the literature [90,97,104,110,111] and has been identified as the most versatile because of the variety of biological wastes that can be us...
For example, there were no significant differences in expression between larvae and adults from both sexes using the combination of the most stable genes. Instead a clear, but false, increase in RproIR76b expression was generated when qRT-PCR data were normalized using an unstable gene as eIF...
PCR-based molecular assays show the most promise for diagnosis of Chagas disease in the following scenarios100,102: detection during acute disease,102–104 early identification of reactivated Chagas disease in immunosuppressed hosts (eg, after transplant, human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] infection),105...
the amplitude of the backscattered light received from each gender differs and the signal can be used as a basis for gender identification and discrimination. Sufficient image resolution permitted such systems to distinguish gravid from non-gravid female mosquitoes125. An infrared laser-based optical se...
Natural history museum collections include specimens from zoology, botany, entomology, palaeontology and mineralogy, as well as documentation associated with them. Recent estimates suggest that the number of natural history specimens in British museums exceeds 100 million. The vast majority of such collect...
