Phoxim insecticide is widely used in agriculture, which is toxic to insect pests and nontarget
organisms. The phoxim poisoning is hard to prevent for silkworms. TiO2 NPs have been …

The widespread use of nanomaterials has raised concerns about the potential impact of
nanoparticles on human health and the natural environment. Although high doses of TiO 2 …

Silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) has a clear genetic background, parts of which are highly
homologous to certain genes related to human hereditary diseases. Thus, the species …

Copper and Zinc oxides nanoparticles (CuO and ZnO NPs, respectively) are among the
most produced and commonly used engineered nanomaterials. They can be released into …

Chlorpyrifos is a most widely used organophosphate insecticide because of its cost
effectiveness and degradable nature. However, this pesticide enters and contaminates the …

Abstract Silkworm (Bombyx mori)(B. mori) is an economically important insect and a model
species for Lepidoptera. It has been reported that feeding of low concentrations of titanium …

In a previous study, silkworm larvae were used as a novel model to assess the biotoxicity of
ILs, which showed that ILs could cause significant physiological and biochemical changes in …

A comparative transcriptome analysis was conducted to investigate the gene expression
changes in the fat body of silkworm after treatment with different concentrations (50 μM and …

Simple Summary As oligophagous insects, silkworms have a very limited diet. Here, the
transcriptomic characteristics of the head and midgut tissues of fifth instar male and female …
