Insecticidal Toxicities of Carvacrol and Thymol Derived from Thymus Vulgaris Lin. Against Pochazia Shantungensis Chou &
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Insecticidal toxicities of carvacrol and thymol derived from Thymus vulgaris Lin. against Pochazia Received: 27 April 2016 Accepted: 14 December 2016 shantungensis Chou & Lu., newly Published: 20 January 2017 recorded pest Jun-Hwan Park1, Ye-Jin Jeon1, Chi-Hoon Lee1,2, Namhyun Chung3 & Hoi-Seon Lee1 The insecticidal toxicities of five essential oils againstPochazia shantungensis adults and nymphs, newly recorded pests, were evaluated. The LC50 values of Thymus vulgaris, Ruta graveolens, Citrus aurantium, Leptospermum petersonii and Achillea millefolium oils were recorded as 57.48, 84.44, 92.58, 113.26 and 125.78 mg/L, respectively, against P. shantungensis nymphs using the leaf dipping bioassay, and 75.80, 109.86, 113.26, 145.06 and 153.74 mg/L, respectively, against P. shantungensis adults using the spray bioassay method. Regarding volatile components identified inT . vulgaris oil, the LC50 values of carvacrol and thymol using the leaf dipping bioassay against P. shantungensis nymphs were 56.74 and 28.52 mg/L, respectively. The insecticidal action of T. vulgaris oil against P. shantungensis could be attributed to carvacrol and thymol. Based on the structure-toxicity relationship between thymol analogs and insecticidal toxicities against P. shantungensis nymphs similar to the LC50 values against P. shantungensis adults, the LC50 values of thymol, carvacrol, citral, 2-isopropylphenol, 3-isopropylphenol, and 4-isopropylphenol were 28.52, 56.74 and 89.12, 71.41, 82.49, and 111.28 mg/L, respectively. These results indicate that the insecticidal mode of action of thymol analogs may be largely attributed to the methyl functional group. -

Natural and Synthetic Repellents for Pest Management of the Storage Mite Tyrophagus Putrescentiae (Schrank) (Sarcoptiformes: Acaridae)
insects Article Natural and Synthetic Repellents for Pest Management of the Storage Mite Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank) (Sarcoptiformes: Acaridae) Naomi Manu 1, Mark Wesley Schilling 2 and Thomas Wesley Phillips 1,* 1 Department of Entomology, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506, USA; [email protected] 2 Department of Food Science Nutrition and Health Promotion, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, MS 39762, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Simple Summary: The ham mite is the major pest of dry-cured hams, aged cheeses, and specialty pet foods that are high in fats and proteins. Ham mites are also known to cause allergies in some cases for humans. The toxic fumigant gas methyl bromide had been used for years to control this mite pest, but it is being phased out of use due to its impact on the protective ozone layer of the earth’s upper atmosphere. Ham producers now require alternatives to methyl bromide for controlling mites. We conducted laboratory experiments with food-safe synthetic and plant-derived chemical repellents to keep mites away from dry cured hams. Our results showed that several of these repellents could effectively prevent ham mites from contacting and staying on treated pieces of ham, and that they would readily go to untreated ham pieces when given a choice. Further experiments found that mites would not feed on nor produce offspring when held on ham pieces coated with oils from thyme, lemon grass, rose, or a mixture of naturally occurring fat molecules. Our experiments suggest that Citation: Manu, N.; Schilling, these food-safe repellents might protect dry-cured hams from mites during their time in aging rooms M.W.; Phillips, T.W. -
Insecta: Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea) Julie M Urban1* and Jason R Cryan2
Urban and Cryan BMC Evolutionary Biology 2012, 12:87 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/12/87 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Two ancient bacterial endosymbionts have coevolved with the planthoppers (Insecta: Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea) Julie M Urban1* and Jason R Cryan2 Abstract Background: Members of the hemipteran suborder Auchenorrhyncha (commonly known as planthoppers, tree- and leafhoppers, spittlebugs, and cicadas) are unusual among insects known to harbor endosymbiotic bacteria in that they are associated with diverse assemblages of bacterial endosymbionts. Early light microscopic surveys of species representing the two major lineages of Auchenorrhyncha (the planthopper superfamily Fulgoroidea; and Cicadomorpha, comprising Membracoidea [tree- and leafhoppers], Cercopoidea [spittlebugs], and Cicadoidea [cicadas]), found that most examined species harbored at least two morphologically distinct bacterial endosymbionts, and some harbored as many as six. Recent investigations using molecular techniques have identified multiple obligate bacterial endosymbionts in Cicadomorpha; however, much less is known about endosymbionts of Fulgoroidea. In this study, we present the initial findings of an ongoing PCR-based survey (sequencing 16S rDNA) of planthopper-associated bacteria to document endosymbionts with a long-term history of codiversification with their fulgoroid hosts. Results: Results of PCR surveys and phylogenetic analyses of 16S rDNA recovered a monophyletic clade of Betaproteobacteria associated with planthoppers; this clade included Vidania fulgoroideae, a recently described bacterium identified in exemplars of the planthopper family Cixiidae. We surveyed 77 planthopper species representing 18 fulgoroid families, and detected Vidania in 40 species (representing 13 families). Further, we detected the Sulcia endosymbiont (identified as an obligate endosymbiont of Auchenorrhyncha in previous studies) in 30 of the 40 species harboring Vidania. -
