Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii are closely related species that are predominant vectors of malaria in Africa.Recently,A.gambiae form M was renamed A.coluzzii and we now conclude on the basis of a diagnostic PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay that Ag55 cells were derived from A.coluzzii.We established an Ag55 cell transcriptome,and KEGG pathway analysis showed that Ag55 cells are enriched in phagosome pathway transcripts.The Ag55 transcriptome has an abundance of specific transcripts characteristic of mosquito hemocytes.Functional E.coli bioparticle uptake experiments visualized by fluorescence microscopy and confocal microscopy and quantified by flow cytometry establish the phagocytic competence of Ag55 cells.Results from this investigation of Ag55 cell properties will guide researchers in the use and engineering of the Ag55 cell line to better enable investigations of Plasmodium,other microbes,and insecticidal toxins.

Pesticide resistance and resurgence are serious problems often occurring simultaneously in the field.In our long-term study of a fenpropathrin-resistant strain of Tetranychus cinnabaribus,enhancement of detoxification and modified fecundity mechanisms were both observed.Here we investigate the network across these two mechanisms and find a key node between resistance and resurgence.We show that the ecdysone pathway is involved in regulating the fecundity of T.cinnabaribus.The concentration change of ecdysone is consistent with the fecundity curve;the concentration of ecdysone is higher in the fenpropathrin-resistant strain which has stronger fecundity.The enhancement of ecdysone is due to overexpression of two P450 genes(CYP314A1 and CYP315A1)in the ecdysone synthesis pathway.Silencing expression of these CYP genes resulted in lower concentration of ecdysone,reduced expression of vitellogenin,and reduced fecundity of T.cinnabaribus.The expression of CYP315A1 is regulated by transcription factors Cap-n-collar isoform C(CncC)and Musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma protein(Maf),which are involved in regulating other P450 genes functioning in detoxification of fenpropathrin in T.cinnabaribus.A similar regulation is established in citrus pest mite Panonychus citri showing that the CncC pathway regulates expression of PcCYP315Al,which affects mite fecundity.Transcription factors are activated to upregulate detoxification genes facilitating pesticide resistance,while the“one to multiple”regulation mode of transcription factors simultaneously increases expression of metabolic enzyme genes in hormone pathways and alters the physiology of pests.This is an important response of arthropods to pesticides which leads to resistance and population resurgence.

Global climate change and acquired resistance to insecticides are threats to world food security.Drosophila suzukii,a devastating invasive pest in many parts of the world,causes substantial economic losses to fruit production industries,forcing farmers to apply broad-spectrum insecticides frequently,This could lead to the development of insecticide resistance.We determined the Lethal Concentration 50 (median lethal concen- tration,LC50)values of zeta-cypermethrin,spinosad,and malathion insecticides against D.suzukii colonies established from Clarke and Pierce county Georgia,United States. The LC50 values were 3 fold higher in the Pierce county population for all insecticide treatments.We then used RNA sequencing to analyze the responses of Pierce and Clarke population flies surviving a LC50 treatment of the 3 insecticides.We identified a high num- ber of differentially expressed genes that are likely involved in detoxification and reduced cuticular penetration,especially in the Pierce population,with extensive overlap in differ- entially expressed genes between the 3 insecticide treatments.Finally,we predicted fewer nonsynonymous single nucleotide variants having deleterious effects on protein function among detoxification,insecticide target,and cuticular protein encoding genes in Pierce flies.Thus a combination of increased gene expression and fewer deleterious single nu- cleotide variants highlights molecular mechanisms underlying the higher LC50 values for Pierce population flies.

ldentifying novel biocontrol agents and developing new strategies are urgent goals in insect pest biocontrol.Ascoviruses are potential competent insect viruses that may be developed into bioinsecticides,but this aim is impeded by their poor oral infectivity.To improve the per os infectivity of ascovirus,Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki(Btk)was employed as a helper to damage the midgut of lepidopteran larvae(Helicoverpa armigera,Mythimna separata,Spodoptera frugiperda,and S.litura)in formulations with Heliothis virescens ascovirus isolates(HvAV-3h and HvAV-3j).Btk and ascovirus mixtures(Btk/HvAV-3h and B1k/HvAV-3j)were fed to insect larvae(3rd instar).With the exception of S.frugiperda larvae,which exhibited low mortality after ingesting Btk,the larvae of the other tested species showed three types of response to feeding on the formulas:type I,the tested larvae(H.armigera)were killed by Btk infection so quickly that insufficient time and resources remained for ascoviral invasion;type II,both Btk and the ascovirus were depleted by their competition,such that neither was successfully released or colonized the tissue;type II,Btk was eliminated by the ascovirus,and the ascovirus achieved systemic infection in the tested larvae.The feeding of Btk/ascovirus formulas led to a great reduction in larval diet consumption and resulted in a significant decrease in the emergence rate of H.armigera,M.separata,and S.litura larvae,which suggested that the formulas exerted marked oral control effects on both the contemporary individuals and the next generation of these tested pest species.

Bacillus thuringiensis is a Gram-positive aerobic bacterium that produces insecticidal crystalline inclusions during sporulation phases of the mother cell. The vir- ulence factor, known as parasporal crystals, is composed of Cry and Cyt toxins. Most Cry toxins display a common 3-domain topology. Cry toxins exert intoxication through toxin activation, receptor binding and pore formation in a suitable larval gut environment. The mosquitocidal toxins of Bt subsp, israelensis （Bti） were found to be highly active against mosquito larvae and are widely used for vector control. Bt subsp, jegathesan is another strain which possesses high potency against broad range of mosquito larvae. The present review summarizes characterized receptors for Cry toxins in mosquito larvae, and will also discuss the diversity and effects of 3-D mosquitocidal Cry toxin and the ongo- ing research for Cry toxin mechanisms generated from investigations of lepidopteran and dipteran larvae.

INTRODUCTION Earth scientists have long sought universal features of past extinction crises.It can be argued that each past extinction event was a singularity,caused by combinations of circumstances that are unique in each case,and therefore that the search for common causes is futile.However,a key feature of the uniformitarian approach to geology is that past processes are the same as modern-day processes and,with that in mind,earth scientists are keen to use their knowledge to contribute some understanding to the study of the present and future climate crisis.

A comprehensive understanding of the role of dietary fibre in non-ruminant animal production is elusive. Equivocal and conflated definitions of fibre coupled with significant analytical complexity,interact with poorly defined host and microbiome relationships. Dietary fibre is known to influence gut development, feed intake and passage rate, nutrient absorption, microbiome taxonomy and function, gut p H, endogenous nutrient loss, environmental sustainability, animal welfare and more. Whilst significant gaps persist in our understanding of fibre in non-ruminant animal production, there is substantial interest in optimizing the fibre fraction of feed to induce high value phenotypes such as improved welfare,live performance and to reduce the environmental footprint of animal production systems. In order to achieve these aspirational goals, it is important to tackle dietary fibre with the same level of scrutiny as is currently done for other critical nutrient classes such as protein, minerals and vitamins. The chemical,mechanical and nutritional role of fibre must be explored at the level of monomeric sugars, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides of varying molecular weight and decoration, and this must be in parallel to standardisation of analytical tools and definitions for speciation. To further complicate subject, exogenous carbohydrases recognise dietary fibre as a focal substrate and have varying capacity to generate lower molecular weight carbohydrates that interact differentially with the host and the enteric microbiome. This short review article will explore the interactive space between dietary fibre and exogenous carbohydrases and will include their nutritional and health effects with emphasis on functional development of the gut, microbiome modulation and host metabolism.

There are few pharmacologic options for the treatment of cognitive deficits associated with traumatic brain injury in pediatric patients.Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors such as donepezil have been evaluated in adult patients after traumatic brain injury,but relatively less is known about the effect in pediatric populations.The goal of this review is to identify knowledge gaps in the efficacy and safety of acetylcholinesterase inhibito rs as a potential a djuvant treatment fo r neurocognitive decline in pediatric patients with traumatic brain injury.Investigators queried PubMed to identify literature published from database inception thro ugh june 2023 desc ribing the use of donepezil in young adult traumatic brain injury and pediatric patients with predefined conditions.Based on preselected search criteria,340 unique papers we re selected for title and abstra ct screening.Thirty-two reco rds were reviewed in full after eliminating preclinical studies and pape rs outside the scope of the project.In adult traumatic brain injury,we review results from 14 papers detailing 227 subjects where evidence suggests donepezil is well tole rated and shows both objective and patient-reported efficacy for reducing cognitive impairment.In children,3 pape rs report on 5 children recovering from traumatic brain injury,showing limited efficacy.An additional 15 pediatric studies conducted in populations at risk for cognitive dysfunction provide a broader look at safety and efficacy in 210 patients in the pediatric age group.Given its promise for efficacy in adults with traumatic brain injury and tole rability in pediatric patients,we believe further study of donepezil for children and adolescents with traumatic brain injury is warranted.

Central Asia consists of the former Soviet Republics,Kazakhstan,Kyrgyz Republic,Tajikistan,Turkmenistan,and Uzbekistan.The region’s climate is continental,mostly semi-arid to arid.Agriculture is a significant part of the region’s economy.By its nature of intensive water use,agriculture is extremely vulnerable to climate change.Population growth and irrigation development have significantly increased the demand for water in the region.Major climate change issues include melting glaciers and a shrinking snowpack,which are the foundation of the region’s water resources,and a changing precipitation regime.Most glaciers are located in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan,leading to transboundary water resource issues.Summer already has extremely high temperatures.Analyses indicate that Central Asia has been warming and precipitation might be increasing.The warming is expected to increase,but its spatial and temporal distribution depends upon specific global scenarios.Projections of future precipitation show significant uncertainties in type,amount,and distribution.Regional Hydroclimate Projects(RHPs)are an approach to studying these issues.Initial steps to develop an RHP began in 2021 with a widely distributed online survey about these climate issues.It was followed up with an online workshop and then,in 2023,an in-person workshop,held in Tashkent,Uzbekistan.Priorities for the Global Energy and Water Exchanges(GEWEX)project for the region include both observations and modeling,as well as development of better and additional precipitation observations,all of which are topics for the next workshop.A well-designed RHP should lead to reductions in critical climate uncertainties in policy-relevant timeframes that can influence decisions on necessary investments in climate adaptation.
