Entomology is a branch of zoology concerned with the study of insects. The discipline can include the biology and control of insects, as well as their ecology and impact on animal, plant and human health.
Functional analysis reveals that targeting testisspecific serine/threonine protein kinase (TSSKs) is a feasible avenue for controlling invasive pest Cydia pomonella through genetic sterile insect technique (gSIT) technology.
Gene–environment interactions have been found to shape ageing plasticity in the muscle tissue of migratory locusts through adaptive changes in lipid metabolic processes.
An innovative isotopic labelling strategy shows that malaria mosquitoes in the West-African Sahel region survive in dormancy over the prolonged dry season. These results have implications for efforts to suppress malaria transmission in Africa.
