Genome assembly and quality control The assembly was performed with the use of the program Flye v2.6 [115,116], which ran for two iterations with the expected haploid genome size being 400 Mb [117]. This unphased assembly had Illumina sequence data mapped to it using Minimap2 v2.17 [118] ...

Identifying the mechanisms involved in limitation of damage and disease caused by pests is important for optimizing any kind of control. However, it is particularly important in biological control because the mechanism determines whether damage control is really achieved through pest control, rather than...
it is clear that no single management tactic can provide lasting solutions to the insect pest problem. Biological control is a component of integrated pest management strategies that minimize insecticide spray applications and move towards ecofriendly systems of pest management. Successful utilization of ...

The use of semiochemical-baited traps for detection, monitoring, and sampling bark beetles and woodboring beetles (BBWB) has rapidly increased since the early 2000s. Semiochemical-baited survey traps are used in generic (broad community level) and specific (targeted toward a species or group) ...
Plant viruses transmitted by vector pests are one of the most important worldwide threats to global food production and security. Biological control strate
although many studies showed insect growth inhibition as well as an increasing lethality as a consequence of dsRNA feeding for many insect pest species, indicating a high potential of this approach for efficient insect pest control, only a few of these approaches have been transferred into commercial...
Integrated pest management (IPM) is an ecological strategy for pest control designed to suppress pest populations below the economic threshold level (ETL). Presently, IPM systems for managing the sugarcane borer encompass the manipulation of cropping system, the use of chemical pesticides, behavioral ...
