Abstract Background Anticholinesterase insecticides (antiChE), including organophosphates and carbamates, are widely used to control crop pests in agriculture, household pests, and animal parasites, making them a potenti...

Abstract In response to the emerging threat of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors, insecticides are being repurposed for vector control or developed de novo. The longevity of disease control programs will require ...

Abstract The cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is a destructive agricultural pest that causes significant yield losses in various crops. The extensive use of chemical insecticides necessita...

Brassica oilseeds are important protein crops for Nordic agriculture. Oilseed production is challenged by multiple insect pests, most importantly the pollen beetle (Brassicogethes aeneus). Concerns about pyrethroid resis...

Abstract Background Malaria continues to pose a major public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where more than 95% of global cases and deaths occur. Despite WHO Global Technical Strategy for Malaria (GTS) tar...

The use of agrochemical products helps promote economic growth by sustaining agriculture. These agrochemicals are essential for controlling pests and improving soil fertility. However, cocoa farmers face distinct challen...

Objectives To determine the prevalence of malaria parasite carriage and anaemia among senior high school students and to identify the demographic, behavioural and residential factors associated with these outcomes.Design...

Chlorfenapyr (CHL) is a widely used insecticide whose expanding application raises concerns about cardiotoxicity following both acute poisoning and chronic environmental exposure. The mechanisms underlying its cardiac in...

Pyrethroid insecticides are widely used indoors in residential, commercial, and occupational pest-control settings and are generally regarded as safe because of their relatively low acute toxicity. This perception is lar...

Abstract Introduction The shift to universal insecticide-treated nets (ITN) coverage in Malawi creates opportunities for establishing effective social and behavior change (SBC) interventions which target general populati...

Abstract Background Nanodelivery represents a promising strategy to enhance pesticide efficacy while reducing associated environmental risks. Mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs) can serve as effective nanocarriers but i...

Abstract Background Anopheles pseudopunctipennis is the primary malaria vector in Mexico and is widely distributed nationwide. Understanding its developmental biology is crucial for interrupting malaria transmission. Met...

The corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), was considered a secondary pest in Brazilian corn crops. However, from 2015 onwards, there was a significant increase in its population a...

Abstract Niclosamide (NA) is widely used as an insecticide in agriculture and fisheries; however, its excessive application poses potential risks to food security and aquatic ecosystems. In this study, halloysite nanotub...

Abstract Background The global expansion of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes has intensified arboviral epidemics, generating annual socio-economic losses exceeding 2 billion US dollars, mainly in the America...

The pervasive use of pesticides and veterinary drugs in China’s intensive agricultural systems has raised serious food safety concerns regarding excessive residues in consumer diets. This study identifies potential def...

Abstract Background Pyrethroid resistance continues to undermine malaria vector control across Africa, particularly in agricultural hotspots where insecticide pressure is high. However, the molecular mechanisms enabling ...
