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.

author keywords: dung beetle; tunneling; dwelling; greenhouse gas; dung decomposition
MeSH headings : Affect; Animals; Carbon Dioxide; Cattle; Coleoptera; Greenhouse Effect; Greenhouse Gases / analysis; Methane; Nitrous Oxide; Soil
TL;DR:
It is suggested that dung beetle communities cannot adequately reduce GHGs unless they can accelerate dung decomposition faster than time alone.

Growth kinetics of endosymbiont Wolbachia in the common bed bug, Cimex lectularius
Scientific Reports, 8(1).
Contributors: M. Fisher n, D. Watson n, J. Osborne n, H. Mochizuki n, M. Breen n & C. Schal n
MeSH headings : Animals; Bedbugs / microbiology; DNA / genetics; Female; Kinetics; Larva / microbiology; Symbiosis; Wolbachia / growth & development
TL;DR:
It is highlighted that wCle is dynamic during bed bug development, changing relative to life stage, intermolt stage, and blood-fed status, and the observed quantitative modulation of wCle during the bed bug life cycle and during periods of starvation may explain the disparities in wCle infections reported in field-collected C. lectularius.

Survival of the House Fly (Diptera: Muscidae) on Truvia and Other Sweeteners
JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY, 54(4), 999–1005.

It is demonstrated that house flies can carry Y. pseudotuberculosis for a considerable period and therefore must be considered as a potential mechanical vector of pseudotubculosis infection.

Diversity and contribution of the intestinal bacterial community to the development of Musca domestica (Diptera : Muscidae) larvae
JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY, 37(6), 924–928.
author keywords: house fly; intestinal tract; bacteria; artificial medium; larval development
MeSH headings : Agar; Animals; Bacteria / classification; Bacteria / isolation & purification; Biological Assay; Culture Media; Digestive System / microbiology; Houseflies / microbiology; Larva / microbiology
TL;DR:
Pure cultures of individual bacterial species isolated from the intestinal tract of larvae from turkey bedding supported development of flies to a much greater extent than those isolated from larvae from corn silage.

Limited transmission of turkey coronavirus in young turkeys by adult Alphitobius diaperinus (Coleoptera : Tenebrionidae)
JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY, 37(3), 480–483.
author keywords: litter beetle; darkling beetle; lesser mealworm; turkey disease; coronavirus; poult enteritis mortality syndrome
TL;DR:
The role of lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer), in the transmission of an enteric disease of turkeys caused by a coronavirus is examined and laboratory studies demonstrating PEMS transmission by A.A. diaperinus are continuing.
