Chemical signals between colony members are crucial to the smooth running of colony operations, but little is known about their olfactory system and the roles played by various chemosensory genes in this process. Chemosensory genes are involved in basic olfactory perception in insects.

Fungi from cysts were isolated to explore the phenomenon of decline in the population in the soil. Phylogenetic study of partial ITS, , , and gene sequences, in addition to morphological investigations, was utilized to identify a nematode-destroying fungus.

The different classes of insecticides, including organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids and neonicotinoids, have varied effects on insects. Furthermore, the molecular effects of these insecticides in aphids, including effects on the enzymatic machinery and gene mutation, are resulting in aphid resistance to the insecticides.

, commonly known as guava root-knot nematode, poses risk due to its widespread distribution and extensive host range. This species is recognized as the most virulent root-knot nematode (RKN) species because it can emerge and breed in plants that have resistance to other tropical RKNs. They cause chlorosis, stunting, and yield reductions in host plants by producing many root galls.
