26.2.2 Pesticide Impacts on the Coffee Tree Agroecosystem The great challenge of world agriculture is to ensure a supply of diversified and safe foods. There is, however an inappropriate use of pesticides and misinformation related to their possible negative impact in the agroecosystem, mainly among...
In insects, pesticide resistance has often evolved from the recent appearance and spread of single (or a few) adaptive genes, which are selected for over large geographical areas (e.g. Guillemaud et al, 1996; Daborn et al, 2002). M. persicae has evolved at least four insecticide ...
Thus, reproductive disorders induced by agrochemicals on honey bees must be also taken into consideration in the assessment of pesticide risks. In the context of declining pollinator populations75, it would be surprising for reproductive disorders to be restricted to honey bees without affecting other ...

Blood-feeding inhibition was high for all treated ITNs (> 90%) and Yorkool® G3 was non-inferior to Olyset® Plus [4% vs. 2%, OR 1.81 (95% CI 1.46–2.39)], given that upper 95% CI was less than 4.85 (delta of 4%). The pyrethroid-PBO ITNs were superior to the ...
In the last decades advances in molecular techniques have greatly improved our tools to investigate the dynamics of vector populations and of pesticide resistance insurgence[43, 49–53]. More recently, next-generation sequencing technologies have offered unprecedented opportunities to investigate the molecul...

However, the impacts of local insecticide use on these beneficial effects remain poorly understood. This study examined the ...
