2009 journal article
German Cockroach Allergen Levels in North Carolina Schools: Comparison of Integrated Pest Management and Conventional Cockroach Control
JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY, 46(3), 420–427.
author keywords: cockroaches; cockroach allergen; Bla g.1; integrated pest management; schools
MeSH headings : Allergens / analysis; Animals; Antigens, Plant; Blattellidae / immunology; Environmental Monitoring; Insect Control / methods; North Carolina; Schools
TL;DR:
Comparing the effectiveness of integrated pest management (IPM) and conventional pest control in controlling German cockroach infestations and concentrations of the cockroach allergen Bla g 1 in public school buildings shows IPM is not only effective at controlling cockroaches but also can lead to long-term reductions in cockroachAllergen concentrations, resulting in a healthier environment for students and school personnel.

Regional assessment of Helicoverpa zea populations on cotton and non-cotton crop hosts
ENTOMOLOGIA EXPERIMENTALIS ET APPLICATA, 126(2), 89–106.
author keywords: Bacillus thuringiensis; bollworm; alternative hosts; resistance management; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae; refuge; Cry protein; maize; grain sorghum; peanut; soybean
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that substantial natural refuge is present for Bt‐resistance management of H. zea throughout the mid‐South and Southeast portions of the US cotton belt and that adults move extensively from their natal host origins.

2007 journal article
Cockroach allergen reduction by cockroach control alone in low-income urban homes: A randomized control trial
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 120(4), 849–855.
Contributors: M. Sever *, S. Arbes, *, R. Santangelo*, B. Vaughn, H. Mitchell, C. Schal* , D. Zeldin
author keywords: cockroaches; cockroach allergen; Bla g 1; Bla g 2; indoor allergens; intervention trial
MeSH headings : Allergens / analysis; Animals; Antigens, Plant; Cockroaches / immunology; Costs and Cost Analysis; Income; Insect Control / economics; Urban Population
TL;DR:
Reductions in Bla g 1 in cockroach-infested homes can be achieved by reducing infestations; however, the magnitude of allergen reduction is dependent on the thoroughness and effectiveness of cockroach eradication efforts.

Tissue localization and regulation by juvenile hormone of human allergen Bla g 4 from the German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.)
INSECT MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, 14(1), 45–53.
Contributors: Y. Fan n, , K. Redding n, L. Vailes*, M. Chapman * & C. Schal n
author keywords: German cockroach; allergen; Bla g 4; lipocalin; juvenile hormone
MeSH headings : Age Factors; Allergens / biosynthesis; Allergens / genetics; Allergens / metabolism; Animals; Antigens, Plant; Blotting, Northern; Cockroaches / genetics; Cockroaches / metabolism; Female; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental / physiology; Genitalia, Male / metabolism; Insect Proteins / biosynthesis; Insect Proteins / genetics; Insect Proteins / metabolism; Male; RNA, Messenger / biosynthesis; RNA, Messenger / genetics; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction; Sesquiterpenes / metabolism; Sex Factors
TL;DR:
The German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L), produces several potent protein aeroallergens, including Bla g 4, a ∼20 kDa lipocalin, which is expressed only in the adult male reproductive system and is depleted in the male and transferred to the female within the spermatophore.
