In Burkina Faso, recent dengue outbreaks were exacerbated by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which have developed resistance to conventional insecticides. This study investigates the potential of Metarhizium pingshaense Met...
Fall Armyworms (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda, particularly in maize crops, is a major agricultural pest. Current control methods rely heavily on chemical pesticides, which are costly and harmful to non-target organisms....
Malaria is a potentially lethal disease caused by parasites of the Plasmodium genus, transmitted to humans through the bite of infected female mosquitoes, primarily Anopheles. To control this disease, various strategi...
Insect-bacteria associations can influence vector competence in multiple ways. Chromobacterium anophelis, a bacterium known to be pathogenic to mosquitoes, may also act as an anti-pathogen by inhibiting the developmen...
