TL;DR: Although cell death is known as apoptosis ve necrosis, molecular studies add to morphological studies and according to this, this classification is extended and there are diffirent types of cell death in terms of signal pathway.
Abstract: In 1972 Kerr and colleagues collect the cell death under two headings. Although cell death is known as apoptosis ve necrosis, molecular studies add to morphological studies and according to this, this classification is extended. In 2009 NCCD classifies it entosis, mitotic collapse, necrosis, necropitosis and pyroptosis by using terminological words. In addition to these there are diffirent types of cell death in terms of signal pathway. These are autophagic cell death, carnification cell death, netoz cell death, partanatoz cell death, anoikis cell death. In this article these types of cell death is noticed in detail.

TL;DR: Insect’s immune responses as melanization, lysozyme level and phenoloxidase (PO) modify the physiology and morphological behavior against different factors like diets, gases and chemicals, which influence the insects and their population dynamics.
Abstract: Insects are powerful and rapid adaptive organisms with high fecundity rate and short life cycle. Due to human interruption in agro-ecosystem and global climatic variations are disturbing the insect ecosystem. Erosion of natural habitats, urbanization, pollution and use of chemicals in agroecosystem manifold the intensity of environmental variations. Both a-biotic (temperature, humidity, light) and biotic (host, vegetative biodiversity, crowding and diets) stresses significantly influence theinsects and their population dynamics. In response to these factors insect may prolong their metamorphic stages, survival and rate of multiplication. Insect’s immune responses as melanization,lysozyme level and phenoloxidase (PO) modify the physiology and morphological behavior against rndifferent factors like diets, gases and chemicals.

TL;DR: This review was aimed at bringing to the fore the entomopathogenic fungi commercially available and the prospect of using them as an alternative to synthetic chemicals.
Abstract: Insect pest management has been dominated by the use of synthetic pesticides since its discovery. This has continued for decades until the publication of Rachel Carson’s ‘Silent spring’ in 1962, which awaken the world on dangers pose by the synthetic chemicals. Since then, the search for alternative pest control products, which is safe and effective, has been prioritized. This review was aimed at bringing to the fore the entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) commercially available and the prospect of using them as an alternative to synthetic chemicals. It was reported that, more than 171 mycoinseticides have been produced with at least 12 species from the over 800 fungi species identified as pathogenic to insects. Most of these products were developed based on Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae and Isaria fumosoroseus propagules. They are currently available in countries of North and South America, Europe and Asia, with few in Africa and Middle East. Mycoinsecticdes have been found effective in controlling insect pests of economic importance in agriculture; however, the successful marketing and utilization of these products have been rather slow, largely due to; high cost, low production efficiency, low performance under challenging environmental conditions and lack of awareness, however, mycoinsectide is gradually becoming popular. Therefore, mycoinsecticides have the potentials to play a key role in integrated pest management (IPM) programme for effective and relatively safe insect pest management in field crops. To achieve this, vigorous research measures needs to be taken to improve on; their performance under challenging environmental conditions, the formulations that will increase persistence, longer shelf life and ease of application, pathogen virulence and spectrum of action.

TL;DR: This study showed the possibility of production of insect larvae biomass as through bioconversion process of agricultural waste rich with lignocellulose and lowest waste reduction efficiency was recorded by larvae feed rate.
Abstract: This study focuses on the application of black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens L) as a bioconversion agent of the rice straw to reduce amount of waste while in the same time produced larvae biomass In this study, larvae were fed with rice straw at six different feed rates (125, 25, 50, 100, and 200 mg/larvae/day) until larvae reached prepupal stage During study, relative growth, relative consumption rate, and waste reduction level were measured Daily feeding of 200 mg of grinded rice straw per larvae resulted in the highest prepupal dry weight (1559 ± 001 mg), lowest developmental time (39 ± 01 days), but lowest waste reduction efficiency (1085 ± 00005%) Highest waste reduction efficiency was recorded by larvae feed rate of 125 mg/larvae/day (3153 ± 001%) and decreased with higher feeding rate This study showed the possibility of production of insect larvae biomass as through bioconversion process of agricultural waste rich with lignocellulose

TL;DR: Light is shed on deltamethrin induced various toxicities during acute and chronic exposure in different species.
Abstract: Pyrethroids are synthetic organic compounds synthesized from chrysanthemum flowers that are used extensively as household and commercial insecticides. The keto-alocoholic esters of chrysanthemic and pyrethroic acid being lipophilic are responsible for its insecticidal properties. Pyrethroids are broadly classified into first and second generation pyrethroids. The first generation (Type 1) pyrethroids are less toxic to mammals than the second generation (Type II) pyrethroids. Mainly Type II pyrethroids cause paresthesia, which is characterized by transient burning/tingling/itching sensation of the exposed skin. Also, it has been suggested that some pyrethroids cause developmental neurotoxicity, but available evidence has been judged to be insufficient. While some pyrethroids have been shown to cause tumors in rodent models, the tumor induction does not appear to reflect a common carcinogenic endpoint for this particular subset of compounds. Deltamethrin is an alpha-cyano pyrethroid insecticide used extensively in pest control. Although initially thought to be least toxic, a number of recent reports showed its toxicity in mammalian and non-mammalian laboratory and wildlife animal species. The article sheds light on deltamethrin induced various toxicities during acute and chronic exposure in different species.
