2024 journal article
Use of diatomaceous earth to control nymphal American dog ticks, <i>Dermacentor variabilis</i> Say (Acari: Ixodidae): laboratory to simulated field experiments
EXPERIMENTAL AND APPLIED ACAROLOGY, 94(1).
author keywords: <italic>Dermacentor variabilis</italic>; Industrial mineral; Tick control; Diatomaceous earth; Acaricide
Sources: Web Of Science, NC State University Libraries
Added: December 16, 2024
2023 journal article
Acaricidal Biominerals and Mode-of-Action Studies against Adult Blacklegged Ticks, Ixodes scapularis
MICROORGANISMS, 11(8).
author keywords: mechanical insecticides; ticks; Imergard; Celite; repellency
TL;DR:
Although the assumed mode of action of Imergard and Celite is dehydration, the minerals are not hygroscopic, there was no evidence of cuticle damage, and death occurred in as little as 2 h, suggesting minimal abrasive action of the cuticle.

Mosquito Blood Feeding Prevention Using an Extra-Low DC Voltage Charged Cloth
INSECTS, 14(5).
author keywords: mosquito; electric; textile; probing; protection; low-voltage
TL;DR:
A novel 3-D textile was developed based on the mosquito head structure that when charged with 15 volts was 100% effective in preventing mosquito blood feeding across an artificial membrane to demonstrate for the first time the use of a biomimetic, mosquito-repelling technology to prevent blood feeding using extra-low energy consumption.

Bacterial Microbiota of Field-Collected Helicoverpa zea (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) from Transgenic Bt and Non-Bt Cotton
MICROORGANISMS, 9(4).
author keywords: Helicoverpa zea; cotton; Bt; resistance; tolerance; microbiota
TL;DR:
It is found that WideStrike samples had a higher bacterial density and diversity per larva than insects collected from non-Bt cotton over two field seasons, and argues for more research to better understand the role of cotton–bollworm–bacteria interactions and the impact on Bt toxin caterpillar susceptibility.

Mosquito-Textile Physics: A Mathematical Roadmap to Insecticide-Free, Bite-Proof Clothing for Everyday Life
Insects, 12(7), 636.
author keywords: mosquito; bite-proof garment; model; textile; non-insecticidal; physical barrier
TL;DR:
A mathematical model for fabric barriers that resist bites from Aedes aegypti mosquitoes based on textile physical structure and no insecticides is reported, derived from mosquito morphometrics and analysis of mosquito biting behavior.

New thinking for filth fly control: residual, non-chemical wall spray from volcanic glass
MEDICAL AND VETERINARY ENTOMOLOGY, 35(3), 451–461.
author keywords: Grey flesh fly; house fly; Imergard™ WP; mechanical insecticide; secondary screwworm
MeSH headings : Animals; Culicidae; Houseflies; Insecticides
TL;DR:
These first studies on the use of Imergard WP against flies suggest this could be an alternative method for filth fly control, unlike that for mosquitoes where it was found mostly on the lower legs.

Fabric infused with a botanical repellent for protection against mosquitoes
The Journal of The Textile Institute, 110(10), 1468–1474.
Contributors: L. Halbkat *, K. Luan* , n, M. McCord n , M. Roe n, E. DenHartog* , N. Travanty n, C. Apperson n, A. West*
author keywords: Infused; repellent; fabric; protective; garment; insect
TL;DR:
The treatment method is user-friendly, enabling consumers to treat their clothing with an organic insect repellent as opposed to applying a synthetic chemical to their clothing and skin.

Pyrethroid insecticides maintain repellent effect on knock-down resistant populations of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
PLOS ONE, 13(5).
MeSH headings : Aedes / genetics; Animals; Drug Resistance / genetics; Female; Genes, Insect; Humans; Insect Proteins / genetics; Insect Repellents; Insecticide-Treated Bednets; Insecticides; Mosquito Control; Mosquito Vectors / genetics; Mutation; Nitriles; Permethrin; Pyrethrins; Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels / genetics
TL;DR:
This finding suggests that even in places where pyrethroid resistance is widespread, permethrin still has a role for use as a repellent on clothing to protect against mosquito bites.

Infrared light detection by the hailer's organ of adult american dog ticks, Dermacentor variabilis (Ixodida: Ixodidae)
TICKS AND TICK-BORNE DISEASES, 8(5), 764–771.
author keywords: American dog tick; Dermacentor variabilis; Haller's organ; Infrared; TRPA1; Light
MeSH headings : Animals; Dermacentor / physiology; Dermacentor / ultrastructure; Extremities; Infrared Rays; Phototaxis
TL;DR:
The ability of ticks to use IR for host finding is consistent with their obligatory hematophagy and has practical applications in tick trapping and the development of new repellents.
