2009 journal article

Efficacy of the new repellent BioUD(A (R)) against three species of ixodid ticks

EXPERIMENTAL AND APPLIED ACAROLOGY, 48(3), 239–250.

By: B. Bissinger n, C. Apperson n, D. Sonenshine*, D. Watson n & R. Roe n 

author keywords: Arthropod repellent; BioUD; DEET; Ticks; Undecanone
MeSH headings : Animals; DEET; Insect Repellents; Ixodidae / drug effects; Ketones; Species Specificity
TL;DR: Based on filter paper head-to-head assays, BioUD® is at least 2–4 times more active as a repellent than DEET against three species of ixodid ticks under the conditions of the authors' laboratory bioassays. (via Semantic Scholar)

2009 journal article

Novel insecticide polymer chemistry to reduce the enzymatic digestion of a protein pesticide, trypsin modulating oostatic factor (TMOF)

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY, 93(3), 144–152.

By: H. Shen n, A. Brandt, B. Witting-Bissinger n, T. Gunnoe  n & R. Roe n 

author keywords: Insecticide; Protein; Polymer chemistry; Trypsin modulating oostatic factor; TMOF; Polyethylene glycol; Digestion; Protease; Leucine aminopeptidase; Protein delivery
TL;DR: Structural activity studies demonstrated a correlation between the molecular weight of the PEG polymer and resistance to digestion and show proof of concept that aliphatic-PEG protein polymerization can be used to prevent protease degradation of a protein insecticide. (via Semantic Scholar)

2008 journal article

Effects of floral resources on fitness of the parasitoids Trichogramma exiguum (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) and Cotesia congregata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

BIOLOGICAL CONTROL, 47(2), 180–186.

By: B. Witting-Bissinger n, D. Orr n & H. Linker n

author keywords: Cotesia congregata; Trichogramma exiguum; Beneficial insect habitat; Biological control
TL;DR: Results show that provisioning T. exiguum with honey and buckwheat flowers resulted in greater longevity, total fecundity, and lifetime production of female offspring than water alone. (via Semantic Scholar)

2008 journal article

Novel arthropod repellent, BioUD, is an efficacious alternative to deet

JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY, 45(5), 891–898.

By: B. Witting-Bissinger n, C. Stumpf n, K. Donohue n, C. Apperson n & R. Roe* 

author keywords: BioUD; deet; insect repellent; mosquitoes; ticks
TL;DR: Based on studies in toto, BioUD is an efficacious alternative to deet in its repellent activity and was more efficacious than 25 and 30% deet, respectively, in these studies. (via Semantic Scholar)

By: B. Witting n, D. Orr n & H. Linker n

author keywords: biological control; beneficial insects; microhymenoptera
TL;DR: Two studies were conducted to evaluate the relative attractiveness of floral habitats that may provide nectar and pollen food resources to natural enemies of agricultural insect pests in North Carolina. (via Semantic Scholar)
