Nanopesticides have been recently introduced as novel pesticides to overcome the drawbacks of using traditional synthetic pesticides. The present study evaluated the acaricidal activity of Copper/Graphene oxide core-shell nanoparticles against two tick species, Rhipicephalus rutilus and Rhipicephalus turanicus. The Copper/Graphene oxide core-shell nanoparticles were synthetized through the solution plasma (SP) method under different conditions.

Ticks and tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) are a threat to human and animal health worldwide. A structured questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge, attitudes/practices, and perceptions (KAP) of 86 farmers of extensive sheep farming systems across different agro-ecological areas in Tunisia. The response rate was about 91.

The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), is a major pest of various plants with a worldwide distribution. Extensive use of chemical pesticides has led to the development of resistance in this pest, making biological control agents a viable alternative for its management. The predatory mites, Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) and Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) are the most important predators of the two-spotted spider mites.

Recently, the structural optimization of natural bioactive products has been one of the important ways to discover new pesticide candidates. Based on osthole as a lead compound, herein, a series of new 2-isopropanol-4-methoxy-7-alkyl/aryloxycarbonyl-()-vinyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran derivatives were synthesized. Steric configurations of compounds , , , , , , and were confirmed by X-ray monocrystallography.

This study systemically investigated the enantioselective bioaccumulation and degradation of etoxazole (ETZ) in earthworms along with the transcriptome and oxidative stress responses to ETZ enantiomer exposure. Based on the M-shaped bioaccumulation trends for ETZ enantiomers, -ETZ was found to be preferentially bioaccumulated in earthworms. Sublethal toxicity analysis showed that -ETZ induced greater changes in protein content, malondialdehyde content, detoxifying metabolic enzyme activity, and oxidative stress in earthworms, compared to those induced by -ETZ.
