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 Isolates Derived from Nest Soil Affect the Attraction and Digging Behavior of Workers of the Red Imported Fire Ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren
INSECTS, 13(5).
author keywords: Solenopsis invicta; bacterial isolates; behavioral responses; digging behavior
TL;DR:
The research results indicate that soil bacteria may mediate ant nest expansion or relocation and foraging tunnel construction and identification of bacterial metabolites that affect RIFA digging behavior merits additional research.

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.

Colonization by the Red Imported Fire Ant, Solenopsis invicta, Modifies Soil Bacterial Communities
Travanty, N. V., Vargo, E. L., Apperson, C. S., & Ponnusamy, L. (2021, August 9). MICROBIAL ECOLOGY, Vol. 8.
author keywords: Solenopsis invicta; Bacterial community; 16S rDNA; Soil microbiome
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / microbiology; Bacteria / genetics; Ecosystem; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S / genetics; Soil
TL;DR:
The results showed the bacterial community structure of RIFA-colonized soils to be significantly different from native soil communities and to evidence elevated abundances of several taxa, including Actinobacteria.

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.

A Diverse Microbial Community Supports Larval Development and Survivorship of the Asian Tiger Mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae)
JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY, 56(3), 632–640.
author keywords: Quercus alba; mosquito; microcosms; transstadial transmission; microbial communities
MeSH headings : Aedes / growth & development; Aedes / microbiology; Animals; Bacteria / classification; Bacteria / isolation & purification; Female; Larva / growth & development; Larva / microbiology; Longevity; Male; Microbiota; Pupa / growth & development; Pupa / microbiology
TL;DR:
High larval survivorship in positive control microcosms suggests that a diverse microbial community is required to complete larval development, and additional studies are needed to evaluate larval growth and survivorship on nonbacterial microbes, such as fungi and protozoa.

Diversity and structure of the bacterial microbiome of the American dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis, is dominated by the endosymbiont Francisella
SYMBIOSIS, 79(3), 239–250.
author keywords: Dermacentor variabilis; American dog tick; Microbiome; 16S rDNA; QIIME 2 analysis; Francisella endosymbiont
TL;DR:
The high-throughput amplicon sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene revealed that most Francisella were similar to Francisella-like endosymbionts of D. variabilis, which sets the foundation for further studies to determine the influence of microbiota on vector susceptibility to pathogens.
