The Western Flower Thrips Frankliniella occidentalis effectively resists many insecticides,
but it can be controlled by the use of bioinsecticides such as entomopathogenic fungi. The …

Epicuticular lipids in many terrestrial arthropods consist of vast numbers of polar and non-
polar aliphatic compounds, which are mainly responsible for the water balance in these …

The exoskeleton lipids of three dangerous pests, Sitobion avenae, Hyalopterus pruni and
Brevicoryne brassicae were identified by GC/MS studies. The main components found were …

Insect cuticle lipids are involved in various types of chemical communication between
species, and reduce the penetration of insecticides, chemicals, and toxins, as well as …

The composition of cuticular and internal lipids in females of the cockroach B latta orientalis
L. exposed to the entomopathogenic fungus C onidiobolus coronatus is investigated. The …

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 …

The main function of cuticular lipids in insects is the restriction of water transpiration through
the surface. Lipids are involved in various types of chemical communication between …

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 …

The cuticular lipids of the cabbage looper Trichoplusia ni are comprised mostly of
hydrocarbons. The type of hydrocarbons present varies with development. Over 98% of the …

Cuticular lipids of larvae, pupae and adults of the Mexican bean beetle (Epilachna
