Evaluation of an insecticide dust band treatment method for controlling bed bugs Publish Date: 2013-02 Author/Source: Wang C, Singh N, Cooper R, Liu C, Buczkowski G Description: Current bed bug, Cimex lectularius L., control usually involves insecticide applications that pose a high risk of insecticide exposure to residents and applicators. To minimize these risks and the amount of insecticides used, we designed and evaluated a dust band treatment technique. State/Region: National |

Mulch Preferences of the Asian Cockroach (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae) Publish Date: 2013-02 Author/Source: Edward T. Snoddy and Arthur G. Appel Description: ulch preferences of the Asian cockroach, Blattella asahinai Mizukubo, were determined in a series of laboratory experiments. Because this species is a peridomestic pest, mulch preferences may be a key part of an integrated pest management program for homeowners. Five mulches were used: cypress, oak leaf litter, pine straw, rubber, and topsoil. State/Region: National |

Recent range expansion of the Argentine ant in Japan Publish Date: 2013-01 Author/Source: Maki N. Inoue,Eiriki Sunamura, Elissa L. Suhr, Fuminori Ito, Sadahiro Tatsuki, Koichi Goka Description: The Argentine ant, Linepithema humile, has been spreading via human activities from its native range in South America across much of the globe for more than a century. This invasive ant was first detected in Japan in 1993. Its successful world-wide expansion is attributed to a social structure, namely supercoloniality, whereby individuals from separate nests cooperate. State/Region: International |

Description: The authors measured the asthma rates among children in Miami, grouped by age and race. They also conducted focus groups with parents to determine common obstacles that families face in managing children's asthma. |

Asymmetrical behavioral response towards two boron toxicants depends on the ant species (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Publish Date: 2013 Author/Source: Sola F, Falibene A, Josens R Description: In this study, we compared the feeding response of ants toward two boron toxic baits (boric acid and borax) in low motivation situations that enhance any possible phago-deterrence the baits may produce. Most studies investigating bait ingestion evaluate whole nests or groups of ants; here, we analyzed the individual ingestion behavior and mortality of the Argentine ant, Linepithema humile (Mayr), and the carpenter ant, Camponotus mus (Roger), for two boron baits, to detect which compound generates a higher rejection in each of these species.

Publish Date: 2013 Author/Source: Busse PJ, Cohn RD, Salo PM et al. Description: The authors concluded that 65.2% of asthmatic adults aged 55 were sensitized to at least one allergen, a higher percentage than expected. |

Colony Breeding Structure of the Invasive Termite Reticulitermes urbis (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) Publish Date: 2013 Author/Source: Perdereau, Elfie; Velonà Alessandro; Dupont, Simon; Labédan, Marjorie; Luchetti, Andrea; Mantovani, Barbara; Bagnères, Anne-Genevieve Description: Invasive species cause severe environmental and economic problems. The invasive success of social insects often appears to be related to their ability to adjust their social organization to new environments. To gain a better understanding of the biology of invasive termites, this study investigated the social organization of the subterranean termite, Reticulitermes urbis, analyzing the breeding structure and the number of reproductives within colonies from three introduced populations. By using eight microsatellite loci to determine the genetic structure, it was found that all the colonies from the three populations were headed by both primary reproductives (kings and queens) and secondary reproductives (neotenics) to form extended-family colonies State/Region: National |

Detection of the A302S Rdl Mutation in Fipronil Bait-Selected Strains of the German Cockroach (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae) Publish Date: 2013 Author/Source: Ang, Ling-Hui; Nazni, Wasi Ahmad; Kuah, Meng-Kiat; Shu-Chien, Alexander Chong; Lee, Chow-Yang Description: Extensive usage and heavy reliance on insecticides have led to the development of insecticide resistance in the German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.). Six field-collected strains of B. germanica from Singapore were used to investigate resistance to fipronil and dieldrin. The three strains (Boat Quay, Cavenagh Road, and Ghimmoh Road) with greatest resistance to fipronil were subjected to selection with fipronil bait up to the F5 generation. Synergism assay and molecular detection of a target site mutation were used to elucidate the mechanism of fipronil resistance in these strains. With the exception of the Cavenagh Road strain, all parental strains were susceptible to dieldrin. This strain exhibited resistance to dieldrin and fipronil ... State/Region: National |
