The explosive xenobiotic 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) is a major worldwide environmental pollutant and its persistence in the environment presents health and environmental concerns. The chemical structure of TNT dictates that biological detoxification

BACKGROUND The objective was to develop an environmentally favourable microcapsule suitable for delivery of proteinaceous bioactive agents (‘bioinsecticides’) to pest insects. RESULTS Utilising feeding bioassays, we determined that microspheres m

Although fungi are used to control a variety of insect pests, it is accepted that their usage could be increased if their efficacy was greater. The outcome of the interaction of a fungus and a pest insect may be influenced by a number of criteria, in

The precise mechanisms underlying Bacillus thuringiensis-mediated killing of pest insects are not clear. In some cases, death may be due to septicaemia caused by Bt and/or gut bacteria gaining access to the insect haemocoel. Since insects protect the

Pimpla hypochondriaca venom is complex and contains a number of different proteins and polypeptides that exert a variety of effects on insect physiology. In particular, it possesses factors with potent anti-haemocyte and immunosuppressive properties.

Drosophila melanogaster angiotensin converting enzyme (Ance) and angiotensin converting enzyme related (Acer) are single domain homologs of mammalian peptidyl dipeptidase A (angiotensin I-converting enzyme) whose physiological substrates have not as

Ance is a single domain homologue of mammalian angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and is important for normal development and reproduction in Drosophila melanogaster. Mammalian ACE is responsible for the synthesis of angiotensin II and the inactivat

A venom protein from the endoparasitic wasp, Pimpla hypochondriaca, was recently biochemically isolated. This protein possessed haemocyte anti-aggregation activity in vitro and shares the same N-terminal amino acid sequence as that deduced from a gen
