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 …

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 …

Novel organic compounds found in the cuticular and internal lipids of medically important
flies were identified. Uracil, 9-tricosene, 1-oleoyl glycerol, dimethyl suberate and butyl …

Aims This article describes the qualitative and quantitative analyses of untypical compounds
in the cuticular and internal lipids of four dipteran species. For isolated compounds …

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 …

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

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 interactions between entomopathogenic fungi and insects serve a classic example of a
co-evolutionary arms race between pathogens and their target host. The cuticle, site of 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 …
