The spatial structure and spatial correlativity of Aphis gossypii and Erigonidium graminicola populations during different periods were investigated by geostatistic methods. The results showed that the semivariogram of A. gossypii appeared as spherical type, indicating its spatial pattern was an aggregated type with a range of 7.33-12.40 cm, while that of E. graminicola was also fitted into spherical model, indicating an aggregated spatial arrangement with a range of 6.47-20.88 cm. The amount and spatial distribution of E. graminicola were closely related to those of A. gossypii, suggesting that E. graminicola was the dominant natural enemy influencing A. gossypii population.

The increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly pest control methods has led to a growing interest in the development of novel, plant-based pesticides. In this study, we investigated the potential of nano-emulsions containing plant oils (Portulaca oleracea, Raphanus sativus, and Rosmarinus officinalis) as a new approach for controlling three major pests: Aphis gossypii, Spodoptera littoralis, and Tetranychus urticae. Using ultrasonication, we prepared stable and uniform nano-emulsions characterized by thermodynamic properties, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Background: The cotton-melon aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, is a polyphagous pest damaging plants across over 100 families. It has multiple host-specialized lineages, including one colonizing Malvaceae (MA) and one colonizing Cucurbitaceae (CU). The mechanisms underlying these host relationships remain unknown.

Cuticular proteins are essential for cuticle formation, molting, and survival in insects. However, functional analysis of cuticular proteins in the melon aphid has been limited. In this study, we identified an endocuticle structural glycoprotein (ESG) AgSgAbd-2-like in the melon aphid Aphis gossypii, which is a member of the RR-1 subfamily of the CPR (cuticular protein containing the conserved Rebers-Riddiford motif) chitin-binding proteins.
