Metalloenzyme SODs play important roles in insects dealing with environmental stress. Here, we cloned the Cu/ZnSOD (LdCZS) and MnSOD (LdMS) mRNA of Lymantria dispar by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). Afterwards their expression patterns were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) after bioinformatic analysis. We found that both LdCZS and LdMS were widely detected in all gypsy moth larvae and all five tissues that we analyzed, and both of them were up-regulated after larvae were fed with avermectin of sublethal concentration and LC. The LdCZS expression value are always higher than LdMS after treating with avermectin of sublethal concentrations. In addition, temporal expression profile in avermectin treated larvae showed that LdCZS expressed highest at 2nd hour, and LdMS expressed highest at 6th hour. The cuticulas transcribed LdCZS and LdMS significantly higher than heads, fat bodies, Malpighian tubes, and midguts after spraying avermectin of sublethal concentration. These results suggested that both Cu/ZnSOD and MnSOD are important antioxidant enzymes in L. dispar defensing against pesticide stress, and LdCZS always responded rapider and stronger than LdMS.

Insecticides are widely used to boost crop yields, but their effects on non-target insects like are still poorly understood. Despite its ecological and economic significance, has been largely neglected in risk assessments. This study employed physiological, biochemical, and transcriptomic analyses to investigate the impact of sublethal concentrations of thiamethoxam, avermectin, chlorfenapyr, and β-cypermethrin on Although larval survival rates remained unchanged, both pupation and fledge rates were significantly reduced.

Emamectin benzoate is an avermectin bio-insecticide commonly used for managing several insect pests including Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), a major polyphagous pest of many cultivated crops. The current study was conducted to evaluate the effects of emamectin benzoate on the fitness of S. litura populations exhibiting differential susceptibility to insecticide.

Article Synopsis
  • - The golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) poses significant threats to aquatic ecosystems and agriculture, leading to the exploration of effective molluscicides, particularly macrolides from microbes, due to rising antibiotic resistance issues.
  • - Two borrelidins (BN1 and BN2) were tested for their ability to kill and inhibit the growth of the golden apple snail, with borrelidin BN1 showing considerable molluscicidal effectiveness similar to the common pesticide metaldehyde, but at much lower concentrations.
  • - Borrelidin BN1 not only reduced snail growth and population densities but also impacted various biochemical markers in the snails, while simultaneously protecting crops like Zizania latifolia, indicating its potential as

Ivermectin (IVM) is a widely used antiparasitic. Concerns have been raised about its environmental effects in the wetlands of Río de la Plata basin where cattle have been treated with IVM for years. This study investigated the sublethal effects of environmentally relevant IVM concentrations in sediments on the Neotropical fish Prochilodus lineatus.

(Fabricius, 1775) (Hemiptera: Alydidae) is a major soybean pest in East Asia that can cause soybean staygreen syndrome. To date, no insecticides have been registered for the control of in China, and these insects are primarily controlled in the field through the application of broad-spectrum insecticides including lambda-cyhalothrin (LCT) and emamectin benzoate (EMB). Here, the lethal and sublethal effects of LCT and EMB on were comprehensively evaluated.
