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 cuticular and internal lipid composition in Calliphoravomitoria larvae, pupae, and male
and female adults was studied. The free fatty acid (FA) compositions of the lipids were …

The entomopathogenic fungus Conidiobolus coronatus produces enzymes that may
hydrolyze the cuticle of Galleria mellonella. Of these enzymes, elastase activity was the …

The chemical characterization of the free fatty acid (FFA) fractions of the cuticular lipids of
Calliphora vicina larvae and pupae was performed by separating the FFA fraction using high …

The evolutionary success of insects is arguably due to their ability to build up a complex,
highly-adaptable and very effective defense system against numerous pathogens, including …

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

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 composition of the fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) and alcohol fractions of the cuticular
and internal lipids of Calliphora vomitoria larvae, pupae and male/female adults was …

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 …
