Hypothenemus hampei Ferrari (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is the main pest of coffee crops, and effective methods for pest management are needed urgently. Bioassays were conducted to assess the effects of the insecticide chlorantraniliprole on H. hampei adults. Toxicity, survivorship, larval production, respiration rate, and behavioral responses to six concentrations of chlorantraniliprole were evaluated. Chlorantraniliprole was toxic to H. hampei (LD = 0.49 mg mL and LD = 1.21 mg mL). Survivorship was 98% in adults not exposed to chlorantraniliprole, decreasing to 52% in insects exposed to LD and 2% in insects treated with LD. H. hampei showed reduced mobility on insecticide-treated surfaces. The insecticide promoted a decrease in the respiration rate of H. hampei for up to 3 h after exposure, altering behavioral responses and locomotor activity. Chlorantraniliprole was shown to have lethal and sublethal effects on H. hampei and, thus, can be used rotationally in integrated pest management programs to control of this pest in coffee crops and retard of insect resistance.

Genetic Variation in Jamaican Populations of the Coffee Berry Borer, Hypothenemus hampei.

The coffee berry borer (CBB) Hypothenemus hampei was first described in Africa in 1867 and has spread to all major coffee-producing regions worldwide, including Jamaica. Using long-read sequencing, we produced a new high-quality reference genome (172.7 Mb) for the Jamaican strain of the CBB, with 93% of the genome assembled into 14 scaffolds.

Article Synopsis
- Research focuses on insect pathogenic fungi as eco-friendly alternatives to chemical insecticides, particularly in Cuba and Florida, where strains have been isolated from pests affecting coffee and sugar cane.* -
- A newly developed PCR method using ribosomal intergenic spacer (rIGS) sequences proves effective in distinguishing species within a complex, and it is enhanced with additional genetic markers.* -
- The findings characterize new fungal isolates associated with the coffee berry borer and propose these as a new taxon, demonstrating the utility of the rIGS-based PCR method for identifying new species in this context.*
Neem-Extract Formulation on Hypothenemus hampei Preference and Performance in Arabica Coffee Fruits and Artificial Diet.

Coffee berry borer (CBB) Hypothenemus hampei is a major biotic threat to coffee production worldwide. Studies have reported negative effects on CBB by oil-based formulations of neem (Azadirachta indica), but little information is available for other neem-extract formulations. This study evaluated CBB preference and performance in arabica coffee fruits and artificial diet treated with a neem-extract formulation (Openeem Plus®) in the field and laboratory conditions.

is an endoparasitic nematode of the coffee berry borer . The nematode has only been recorded across a limited geographical range in coffee-growing areas of southeastern Mexico. Because of its confined geographical distribution, the effect of altitude, temperature, and mean annual precipitation on presence/absence in the Soconusco region of Mexico was investigated.

Background: Chemoreception is crucial for insect fitness, underlying for instance food-, host-, and mate finding. Chemicals in the environment are detected by receptors from three divergent gene families: odorant receptors (ORs), gustatory receptors (GRs), and ionotropic receptors (IRs). However, how the chemoreceptor gene families evolve in parallel with ecological specializations remains poorly understood, especially in the order Coleoptera.
