PARASITES & VECTORS, 16(1).
author keywords: Cimex; Bed bugs; Fluralaner; Pharmacokinetics; Poultry; Ectoparasites
TL;DR:
Fluralaner appears to be a promising candidate for bed bug control in poultry farms, with a treatment effect lasting at least 28 days, and quantifiable in the hens’ plasma for at least28 days post-treatment.

Spatial distribution of histamine in bed bug-infested homes
SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 880.
author keywords: Environmental contaminants; Insects; Asthma; Cimex lectularius; Respiratory health
MeSH headings : Humans; Animals; Insect Control / methods; Bedbugs; Histamine
TL;DR:
Results indicate that the bedroom should be the primary focus of histamine mitigation efforts, although histamine can be found throughout the home, and histamine quantified from homes without active bed bug infestations suggests that histamine from previous infestation can persist following pest eradication.

Multiple Mechanisms Confer Fipronil Resistance in the German Cockroach: Enhanced Detoxification and Rdl Mutation
Gonzalez-Morales, M. A., DeVries, Z. C., Santangelo, R. G., Kakumanu, M. L., & Schal, C. (2022, August 9). (W. Booth, Ed.). JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY, Vol. 8.
Ed(s): W. Booth
author keywords: urban IPM; German cockroach; Blattella germanica; fipronil; insecticide resistance; Rdl; target site insensitivity
MeSH headings : Animals; Blattellidae / genetics; Insecticide Resistance / genetics; Insecticides / pharmacology; Mutation; Pyrazoles
TL;DR:
Evaluated five populations of German cockroaches and found that all field-collected strains are homozygous for a mutation that substitutes serine for an alanine in Rdl, and confers low resistance to fipronil, indicating little change in fipronsil resistance over the past 20 yr.

Systemic veterinary drugs for control of the common bed bug, Cimex lectularius, in poultry farms
PARASITES & VECTORS, 15(1).
author keywords: Cimex lectularius; Fluralaner; Ivermectin; Systemics; Poultry; Chicken
MeSH headings : Animals; Humans; Bedbugs; Ivermectin / pharmacology; Farms; Poultry; Veterinary Drugs; Chickens; Ectoparasitic Infestations / drug therapy; Ectoparasitic Infestations / prevention & control; Ectoparasitic Infestations / veterinary
TL;DR:
The findings suggest that systemic ectoparasitic drugs have great potential for practical use to control bed bug infestations in poultry farms and demonstrate the efficacy of fluralaner (and potentially other isoxazolines) as a potent new active ingredient for bed bug control.

Resistance to Fipronil in the Common Bed Bug (Hemiptera: Cimicidae)
JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY, 58(4), 1798–1807.
Ed(s): L. Hribar
author keywords: bed bugs; Cimex lectularius; fipronil; insecticide resistance; synergist
MeSH headings : Animals; Bedbugs / drug effects; Bedbugs / genetics; Insect Proteins / genetics; Insecticide Resistance / genetics; Insecticides / pharmacology; Mutation; Pyrazoles / pharmacology; Pyrethrins / pharmacology; Receptors, GABA-A / genetics
TL;DR:
Investigating the potential of fipronil resistance in bed bugs found that highly resistant populations were also highly resistant to deltamethrin, suggesting that metabolic enzymes that are responsible for pyrethroid detoxification might also metabolize fipronsil.

Exposure risks and ineffectiveness of total release foggers (TRFs) used for cockroach control in residential settings
BMC Public Health, 19(1).
author keywords: Bug bomb; German cockroach; Pesticide residues; Pesticide exposure; Pyrethroids; Total release aerosols
MeSH headings : Animals; Blattellidae / drug effects; Environmental Exposure / adverse effects; Fumigation; Housing; Humans; Insect Control / methods; Insecticide Resistance; Insecticides / adverse effects; Pesticide Residues / analysis; Risk Assessment
TL;DR:
The high risks of pesticide exposure associated with TRFs combined with their ineffectiveness in controlling German cockroach infestations call into question their utility in the marketplace, especially because similarly priced and much safer bait products are highly effective in the indoor environment.

MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Assay; Blattellidae; Cockroaches; Insecticide Resistance; Insecticides; Pyrethrins
TL;DR:
Investigating insecticide resistance of apartment-collected cockroaches from homes where TRFs failed suggested pyrethroid resistance is a major factor contributing to the failure of TRFs, which were recently shown to be ineffective at reducing German cockroach infestations.

Ed(s): J. Benoit
MeSH headings : Air Pollution, Indoor / adverse effects; Animals; Bedbugs; Histamine / analysis; Hot Temperature; Humans; Insect Control; Pest Control

Within-population variability in a moth sex pheromone blend: genetic basis and behavioural consequences
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 281(1779), 20133054.

TL;DR:
A model in which the QTL is a trans-acting repressor of delta-11 desaturase expression explains many features of the data, and selection favouring heterozygotes which produce more unsaturated components could maintain a polymorphism at this locus.

TL;DR:
The pattern of temporal variation within populations suggests that optimization of the pheromonal signal also may be driven by within-generation physiological adjustments by the moths in response to their experience of the local chemical environment.

TL;DR:
The mate attraction signal of Heliothis subflexa (Hs) females consists of a multicomponent sex pheromone blend, and it is indicated that the addition of Z9-16:OAc alone does not increase attraction of male Hs, while Z11-16-OAc does.

Experimental evidence for interspecific directional selection on moth pheromone communication

TL;DR:
It is quantitatively estimate that the directional selection exerted by Hv males on Hs females to produce relatively high amounts of acetates can range from 0.135 to 0.231, which may counteract intraspecific stabilizing selection that impedes evolutionary changes in pheromone blends and could lead to diversification of sexual signals.
