Wheat resistance genes failing, new approach needed to stop flies
Many of the genes that allow wheat to ward off Hessian flies are no longer effective in the southeastern United States, and care should be taken to ensure that resistance genes that so far haven't been utilized in commercial wheat lines are used prudently, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture and Purdue University scientists.

Researchers discover novel anti-viral immune pathway in the mosquito
As mosquito-borne viral diseases like West Nile fever, dengue fever, and chikungunya fever spread rapidly around the globe, scientists at Virginia Tech are working to understand the mosquito's immune system and how the viral pathogens that cause these diseases are able to overcome it to be transmitted to human and animal hosts.

National Insect Week 2004
This summer will see the launch of National Insect Week, a new initiative from the Royal Entomological Society which aims to raise the profile of insects among the British public, and to encourage the study of entomology. National Insect Week is sponsored by Castle Cement and has the support of the Darwin Centre at the Natural History Museum in London, which will host the official launch on... View More (2004-05-12)
Plant sniffs out danger to prepare defenses against pesky insect

Study shows single insecticide application can kill 3 cockroach generations
One dose of an insecticide can kill three generations of cockroaches as they feed off of each other and transfer the poison, according to Purdue University entomologists who tested the effectiveness of a specific gel bait. View More (2008-06-24)
Smaller mosquitoes are more likey to be infected with viruses causing human diseases
An entomologist at the Illinois Natural History Survey, a division of the new UI Institute for Natural Resource Sustainability, says smaller mosquitoes are more likely to be infected with viruses that cause diseases in humans. View More (2008-11-04)
Virus pulls bait and switch on insect vectors
A common plant virus lures aphids to infected plants by making the plants more attractive, but when the insects taste the plant, they quickly leave for tastier, healthier ones. In the process, the insects rapidly transmit the disease, according to Penn State entomologists. View More (2010-02-02)
Carrion policing
Entomologists have established important variations in the rate that different maggots develop - variations that will help the British police establish the time of death of murder victims more accurately. Dr Sarah Donovan, an entomologist at the Natural History Museum in London, has determined the actual development rates of two species of bluebottle. Speaking at the Royal Entomological Society's...
