Forgotten natural enemies: Interactions between coccinellids and insect-parasitic fungi
Helen E. Roy,Ted E. Cottrell +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that fungal pathogens are all too often forgotten natural enemies and future research should address the profound absence of knowledge in this field.
Pest Management Challenges and Control Practices in Codling Moth: A Review
TL;DR: This review summarizes the information about the origin and biology of the codling moth, describes the mechanisms of resistance in this pest, and provides an overview of current research of resistant pest populations and genetic research both in Europe and globally.

Mosquitocidal bacterial toxins (Bacillus sphaericus and Bacillus thuringiensis serovar israelensis): Mode of action, cytopathological effects and mechanism of resistance
Subbiah Poopathi,S. Abidha +1 more
- 17 Dec 2013
TL;DR: Rec recombinant bacteria show excellent promise for development and use in operational vector control programs, and it should ultimately be possible to design `smart' bacteria that will seek out and kill larvae of specific vector mosquitoes.
