Soil of 20% of economic districts of Russian Federation is slightly polluted by helminths (10 eggs per kg of soil), 64% is moderately polluted (11-100 eggs per kg), 16% much polluted (more 100 eggs per kg). Soil of agricultural fields is polluted 2-3 times more because of use of sewage and their sediments. Recommendations on protection of soil from pollution by helminths are given.

Ambient hypoxia can pose a major threat to the survival of metazoan organisms, especially insect embryos. Hemocyanin exhibits dominant expression in insect embryos, but its specific roles in hypoxia adaptation remain unexplored. Soil-dwelling locust eggs may frequently experience hypoxia during development.

Background: The invasion of Spodoptera frugiperda into China has caused serious losses to the food industry and has developed varying degrees of resistance to various chemical pesticides. Developing new plant-based pesticides is of great significance for the sustainable management of S. frugiperda.

Background: Diagnosis of soil-transmitted helminthiasis and schistosomiasis for surveillance relies on microscopic detection of ova in Kato-Katz (KK) prepared slides. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based platforms for parasitic eggs may be developed using a robust image set with defined labels by reference microscopists. This study aimed to determine interobserver variability among reference microscopists in identifying parasite ova.

Bagrada bug, (Burmeister) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is an invasive pest of cole crops in the United States. Because it also feeds on widespread weeds and persists in natural habitats surrounding crop fields, conventional control strategies are often ineffective at providing long-term control. One egg parasitoid, Talamas (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae), is a promising biological control candidate because of its ability to parasitise buried eggs.

Purpose: The emergence of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic is a public health problem in tropical countries such as Burkina Faso. Antibiotic resistance could be identified using a variety of approaches. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of pathogenic enterobacteria strains from three sources, as well as their antibiotic resistance profile to biotope and climatic season.
