Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) and brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), are global economic pests that may co-occur on small fruits. We investigated whether fruit recently exposed to H. halys affected subsequent host use by D. suzukii. Laboratory no-choice and choice tests presented D. suzukii with H. halys-fed and unfed raspberries and blueberries immediately or 3 d after H. halys feeding. Resulting D. suzukii eggs, or larvae and pupae, were counted. The number of D. suzukii immatures among fed and unfed fruit was not significantly different in lab studies. There was no relationship between the intensity of H. halys feeding, as estimated by the number of stylet sheaths, and D. suzukii oviposition on blueberry. Lastly, field studies compared D. suzukii infestation between H. halys-fed and unfed raspberries. Raspberries were previously exposed to H. halys for 3 d or simultaneously exposed to both pests for 7 d. Natural infestation by D. suzukii in the field was similar among raspberries previously or simultaneously exposed to H. halys compared to control fruit.

Background: Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) has improved health and increased life expectancy in many patients with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). Family planning issues have become more important since then. Many women decide to remain on modulator therapy during pregnancy despite insufficient evidence-based recommendations for continuing ETI during pregnancy and lactation.

In June 2019, the Chinese government proposed the Healthy China Action Plan (2019-2030) development strategy, which focuses on disease prevention and health promotion. It is expected that by 2030, the national health literacy level will be significantly improved, premature mortality caused by major chronic diseases will be significantly reduced, the average healthy life expectancy will be greatly improved, and the main health indicators of residents will enter the ranks of high-income countries. Unfortunately, at the end of 2019, COVID-19 began to break out in Wuhan, China, which had a huge impact on China's economy and people's health.

Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is an invasive pest which feeds on numerous economically significant crops. Many integrated pest management strategies for this species rely on effective season-long monitoring for H. halys populations, including attract-and-kill and threshold-based insecticide sprays.

Glutaredoxin (Grx) is a group of redox enzymes that control reactive oxygen species (ROS), traditionally defined as redox regulators. Recent research suggested that members of the family may be involved in more biological processes than previously thought. Therefore, we cloned the gene and identified its role in diapause.

UNESCO - The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS), Trieste, Italy.

Background: The rising older adult population has led to an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases and medical expenses. Women tend to have a longer healthy life expectancy than men and are more likely to be exposed to urological disorders around the age of 50, resulting in substantial healthcare expenses throughout their lifetime. Urological disorders often require continuous treatment owing to their high risk of recurrence, contributing to an increased financial burden from medical costs.
