Lepidoptera is an order of insects that includes butterflies and moths. It is one of the most widespread and widely recognizable insect orders in the world. Crop protection companies have developed a broad range of very effective insecticides for the control of lepidopteran pests. Unfortunately, as a consequence of the misuse or overuse of these insecticides, many species have developed resistance. Populations of Plutella xylostella, for example, have developed resistance to virtually every insecticide used against them. Additionally, there…

Arthropods form a major group of pathogen vectors with mosquitoes, flies, sand flies, lice, fleas, ticks, and mites transmitting a huge number of pathogens. Many such vectors are haematophagous, which feed on blood at some or all stages of their lives. When the insects blood feed, the pathogen enters the blood stream of the host. This can happen in different ways depending on the type of vector. Aedes mosquito Aedes spp Anopheline Mosquitoes Anopheles spp House mosquito Culex spp…
