متن کاملNeuroendocrine control of ionic homeostasis in blood-sucking insects.
The pioneering work of Simon Maddrell established that the rapid postprandial diuresis of the haematophagous insect Rhodnius prolixus is controlled by a diuretic hormone and demonstrated the role of the Malpighian tubules in meeting the volumic, osmotic and ionic challenges posed by an enormous blood meal. A number of diuretic and antidiuretic hormones that control secretion of primary urine by...
متن کاملWhy do insects bite? A review of blood sucking behaviour.
Introduction There is considerable variation in the extent of the association between a blood sucking insect and its host. Blood sucking Diptera such as mosquitoes are temporary ectoparasites, only visiting the host for long enough to obtain a blood meal. Temporary ectoparasites such as tsetse flies, tabanids and mosquitoes tend to take relatively large blood meals, thus limiting the danger fro...
متن کاملPlant Virus Transmission by Insects
Most plant viruses depend on vectors for their survival and spread. Most vectors are piercing-sucking insects that transmit plant viruses in either the circulative virus (CV) or noncirculative virus (NCV). NCV are carried on the lining cuticle of vectors stylets. CVs cross the vectors’ gut, move internally to the salivary glands (SG), cross the SG membranes to be ejected upon feeding. Transmiss...
متن کاملResistance to sap-sucking insects in modern-day agriculture
Plants and herbivores have co-evolved in their natural habitats for about 350 million years, but since the domestication of crops, plant resistance against insects has taken a different turn. With the onset of monoculture-driven modern agriculture, selective pressure on insects to overcome resistances has dramatically increased. Therefore plant breeders have resorted to high-tech tools to conti...
