Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative study of fat body morphology in five mosquito species
Gustavo Ferreira Martins,José Eduardo Serrão,José Marcelo Ramalho-Ortigão,Paulo Filemon Paolucci Pimenta +3 more
TL;DR: Interestingly, brown pigment granules, likely ommochromes, were found exclusively in the trophocytes located within the thorax and near the dorsal integument of Anopheles, which is suggestive of the role these cells play in detoxification via o mmochrome storage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insights into the transcriptome of oenocytes from Aedes aegypti pupae
Gustavo Ferreira Martins,José Marcelo Ramalho-Ortigão,Neil F. Lobo,David W. Severson,Mary Ann McDowell,Paulo Filemon Paolucci Pimenta +5 more
TL;DR: The transcriptional profile suggests that oenocyte play diverse roles, such as detoxification and lipid metabolism, and increase the understanding of the importance of oenocytes in Ae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatty acid-rich volatile oil from Syagrus coronata seeds has larvicidal and oviposition-deterrent activities against Aedes aegypti
Leilane Marina Morais dos Santos,Jéssica da Silva Nascimento,Mirela Araújo Gomes dos Santos,Nadja Biondine Marriel,Patrícia Cristina Bezerra-Silva,Suyana Karolyne Lino da Rocha,Alexandre Gomes da Silva,Maria Tereza dos Santos Correia,Patrícia Maria Guedes Paiva,Gustavo Ferreira Martins,Daniela Maria do Amaral Ferraz Navarro,Márcia Vanusa da Silva,Thiago Henrique Napoleão +12 more
TL;DR: The oil was extracted by hydrodistillation, characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and evaluated for larvicidal and ovicidal activities, as well as for influence on the choice of oviposition site by females.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imidacloprid impairs the post-embryonic development of the midgut in the yellow fever mosquito Stegomyia aegypti (=Aedes aegypti).
Kenner Morais Fernandes,W. G. Gonzaga,Tales Vicari Pascini,Franciane Rosa Miranda,Hudson V. V. Tomé,José Eduardo Serrão,Gustavo Ferreira Martins +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that imidacloprid can reduce the survival of mosquitoes and thus indicate its potentially high efficacy in the control of St. aegypti populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Termiticidal lectins from Myracrodruon urundeuva (Anacardiaceae) cause midgut damage when ingested by Nasutitermes corniger (Isoptera: Termitidae) workers.
Thâmarah de Albuquerque Lima,Kenner Morais Fernandes,Ana Patrícia Silva de Oliveira,Leonardo Prezzi Dornelles,Gustavo Ferreira Martins,Thiago Henrique Napoleão,Patrícia Maria Guedes Paiva +6 more
TL;DR: This study showed that termiticidal lectins from M. urundeuva cause severe injuries, oxidative stress and cell death in the midgut of N. corniger workers.
