Infrared (IR) thermography is used increasingly to estimate body temperature in small ectotherms such as insects. We used the thermal behaviour of an agricultural pest, the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria, as a case study to demonstrate the appl

Diversity-invasibility relationships were explored in the novel context of the colonization resistance provided by gut bacteria of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria against pathogenic bacteria. Germ-free insects were associated with various com

The desert locust Schistocerca gregaria behaviorally thermoregulates in order to try and maintain a favoured "set point" body temperature. locusts infected with the deuteromycete fungal pathogen Metarhizium anisopliae var acridum choose a significant

Summary It is often assumed that efficient application of a mycoinsecticide involves hitting the target pest insect directly with a lethal dose of conidia. However, secondary pick-up of conidia from surrounding vegetation may be a more important sour

A comparison has been made between the effects of wounding, chemical stimulation of the immune system and fungal infection on acid phosphatase (AcP) activity in the haemolymph of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria. Untreated control locusts had

The entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae var anisopliae produces a family of cyclic peptide toxins, destruxins (DTX), both in culture and in vivo in mycosed insects. The contribution of these insecticidal toxins to the disease process has b

The aim of this study was to observe the colonization of the guts of germ-free desert locusts, Schistocerca gregaria, by Pantoea agglomerans, the dominant bacterial species found in the mature adult. P. agglomerans was established as a monoculture. D

Antifungal phenols, absent from fecal pellets of germ-free desert locusts, Schistocerca gregaria, were found in the fecal pellets of locusts which had been monoassociated with Pantoea agglomerans. In addition, gut fluid from monoassociated insects wa

The insect pathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae produces several extracellular cuticle-degrading proteases and evidence is consistent with one of these, PR1, which is a chymoelastase, being a determinant of pathogenicity. We have shown previously
