The fast improvement of cyberattacks in the area of the Internet of Things (IoT) presents novel safety challenges to zero-day attacks. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are generally focused on exact attacks to defend the use of IoT. However, the attacks were unidentified, for IDS still signifies tasks and concerns about consumers' data privacy and safety.

Host innate immunity is one of the factors that determines the resistance of insects to their entomopathogens. In the research reported here we studied whether or not phenoloxidase (PO), a key enzyme in the melanogenesis component of humoral immunity of insects, plays a role in the protection of Lymantria dispar larvae from infection by L. dispar multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus.

The nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) DNA was detected in samples from eggs and caterpillars of the gypsy moth collected in natural populations of the Western Siberia and Ural by means of PCR with primers corresponding to the polyhedrin gene. According to censuring data, the gypsy moth populations of Western Siberia were at the depression stage. The NPV DNA detection frequencies in eggs (8.

We tested the effects of defoliation-induced changes in silver birch, Betula pendula, foliar chemistry (delayed induced resistance, DIR) on the fitness and immune defense of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar. We measured larval developmental time, pupal weight, rate of survival to the adult stage, and five characteristics of larval immune defense: (1) encapsulation response; (2) phenoloxidase activity; (3) hemocyte concentration and (4) lysozyme-like activity in the hemolymph; and (5) resistance to infection by L. dispar nucleopolyhedrovirus (LdMNPV).

Six nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) isolates have been isolated from dead larvae of gypsy moth in Western Siberia. Heterogeneity of virulence and reproduction activity was revealed for the NPV isolated by bioassay with Lymantria dispar L. larvae.

The dynamics of phenolic compounds, flavonols, catechines, tannins, and soluble sugars in the leaves of the silver birch Betula pendula Roth after strong (75%) and total (100%) artificial defoliation was studied. It was shown that the flavonol content in the leaves did not change after strong and total defoliation, while the amount of tannins did not change during the first 15 days but increased later on 1 and 2 years after 75% and 100% defoliation. The catechine content did not change during the first 15 days and increased later on 1 year after strong and total defoliation; however, it returned to the level of control plants 2 years after both types of defoliations.

Gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) growing on different feeding substrates was shown to affect their susceptibility to nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV). The insects feeding on birch leaves had the lowest sensitivity to NPV than those on willow leaves, but the insects growing on pine needles showed the highest susceptibility.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the effects of natural and artificial defoliation on the composition of birch (Betula pendula Roth.) leaves, focusing on total lipids and flavonoid content.
  • Researchers identified 11 fatty acids and noted changes in their quantities, particularly an increase in short-chain saturated fatty acids and trienoic acids after defoliation.
  • Additionally, while overall extractive substances decreased following defoliation, the levels of flavanones and flavanonol increased, and the assay method developed could be valuable for analyzing plant extracts.

Structural changes in hemogram of Gypsy moth larvae from a population in the phase of quantity increase are studied morphometrically and cytochemically. The counts of granulocytes and prohemocytes are increased, as are the counts of hemocytes possessing phenol oxidase activity and hemocytes reducing nitroblue tetrazolium. Atypical virus morphogenesis is observed.
