Prior research from trapping experiments using synthetic pheromone components suggested the existence of local and geographical variation in the pheromone system of the spruce beetle, Dendroctonus rufipennis (Kirby). To test hypotheses concerning variation in the spruce beetle's aggregation pheromone blend

New strategies are needed to manage malaria vector populations that resist insecticides and bite outdoors. This study describes a breakthrough in developing 'attract and kill' strategies targeting gravid females by identifying and evaluating an oviposition attractant for Anopheles gambiae s.l.

Insect repellents are important prophylactic tools for travelers and populations living in endemic areas of malaria, dengue, encephalitis, and other vector-borne diseases. DEET (N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide) is a 6-decade-old synthetic repellent, which is still considered the gold standard of mosquito repellents. Mosquitoes
