Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), a globally invasive species complex that causes serious damage to field crops, has developed resistance to imidacloprid and many other pesticides. Insect detoxify to pesticides may partially depend...

The relationship between preferred codon use (PCU), developmental mode, and gene ontology (GO) was investigated in a sample of nine insect species with sequenced genomes. These species were selected to represent two distinct modes of insect developme...
Chagas disease is one of the main parasitic diseases found in Latin America and it is estimated that between six and seven million people are infected worldwide. Its etiologic agent, the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is transmitted by triatomines, som...
Impedimetric biosensors for measuring small molecules based on weak/transient interactions between bioreceptors and target analytes are a challenge for detection electronics, particularly in field studies or in the analysis of complex matrices. Prote...
Apart from some model organisms, the interactome of most organisms is largely unidentified. High-throughput experimental techniques to determine protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are resource intensive and highly susceptible to noise. Computational...

During their lives, insects must cope with a plethora of chemicals, of which a few will have an impact at the behavioral level. To detect these chemicals, insects use several protein families located in their main olfactory organs, the antennae. Insi...

Insects, a majority of animal species, rely on innate immunity and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which are a part of their innate immunity, to combat diverse parasites and pathogens. These peptides have applications ranging from agriculture to antim...
