Insects are exposed to a variety of stress factors in their environment, and, in many cases for
insect pests to agriculture, those factors include toxic chemical insecticides. Coping with the …

The cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenases (monooxygenases) are an extremely
important metabolic system involved in the catabolism and anabolism of xenobiotics and …

Many of the most dangerous human diseases are transmitted by insect vectors. After
decades of repeated insecticide use, all of these vector species have demonstrated the …

When looking for a book on fish toxicology, you might find one that discusses the
biochemical and molecular aspects, or one that focuses aquatic toxicology in general. You …

Pyrethroids are the most used insecticide class worldwide. They target the voltage gated
sodium channel (NaV), inducing the knockdown effect. In Aedes aegypti, the main dengue …

The evolution of insecticide resistance is generally thought to be associated with a fitness
cost in the absence of insecticide exposure. However, it is not clear how these fitness costs …

Esterases have been a major part of insect biochemical research over the last 50 years. As
an important component of insects' xenobiotic defence system, they have long been a focus …

Insect Symbiosis summarizes the current knowledge of the relationship between symbiotic
organisms and their insect hosts and provides an unparalleled analysis of cutting-edge …

Dominance has been assessed in different ways in insecticide resistance studies, based on
three phenotypic traits: the insecticide concentration required to give a particular mortality (D …

The refuge–high–dose strategy for delaying insect adaptation to transgenic plants produces
non–transgenic plants that enable survival of susceptible individuals. Previous theoretical …
