Insects employ different defense strategies against fungal infections and chemicals. We
aimed to identify the lipid compositions of the fat body of Zophobas morio larvae before and …

Fatty acids as components of cuticular lipids of insects play a significant role in antifungal in
protection against fungal infection. The chemical composition of cuticular and internal …

Insects from the Dermestidae family (Dermestes ater and Dermestes maculatus) are
synanthropic insects, which are household, agricultural and warehouse pests. Their …

The pine moth Dendrolimus pini effectively resists many insecticides, but it can be controlled
by the use of bioinsecticides such as entomopathogenic fungi. In the use of microbial agents …

Terrestrial organisms are enveloped in various types of polymeric structural components
and the outer surface is usually covered with complex mixtures of long-chain compounds …

Differences in free fatty acids (FFAs) chemical composition of insects may be responsible for
susceptibility or resistance to fungal infection. Determination of FFAs found in cuticular lipids …

Cuticular lipids in terrestrial arthropods are not only essential for desiccation resistance; they
also play an important role as chemical signals for intra-and interspecific communication …

Simple Summary The use of insects as a new source of lipids is a topic of great interest from
both environmental and economic points of view. In addition to use in feed and energy …

Materials and Methods The beetles [in all: Cantharis livida (10), Cantharis fusca (20), and
Rhagonycha fulva (209)] were washed with chloroform for 5 s each, and the extracts filtered …
