“…Another MCP strategy specializes in targeting insect microbiota, which was shown to be essential for insects. Antibiotic removal of microbiota or egg surface sterilization has negative effects on insects since they impair insects' development and fecundity (Goane et al, 2022; Kafil et al, 2013). Currently, one of the popular MPC strategies is the incompatible insect technique (IIT), which has been proven to be an effective approach in pest management and is used to manipulate insect microbiota, through which male insects are made incompatible for reproduction.…”

Plants produce a variety of secondary metabolites in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Although they have many functions, a subclass of toxic secondary metabolites mainly serve plants as deterring agents against herbivores, insects, or pathogens. Microorganisms present in divergent ecological niches, such as soil, water, or insect and rumen gut systems have been found capable of detoxifying these metabolites. As a result of detoxification, microbes gain growth nutrients and benefit their herbivory host via detoxifying symbiosis. Here, we review current knowledge on microbial degradation of toxic alkaloids, glucosinolates, terpenes, and polyphenols with an emphasis on the genes and enzymes involved in breakdown pathways. We highlight that the insect‐associated microbes might find application in biotechnology and become targets for an alternative microbial pest control strategy.

“…Young A. fraterculus (1 day) individuals show enhanced mating after methotrexate treatment, but this effect disappears when treating A. fraterculus that have achieved rapid sexual maturity (8 days), whereas treated males inhibit the ability of females to remate, although this ability is decreased compared to that in wild‐type females 265,266 . Furthermore, treating enterobacteria in the gut of A. fraterculus with antibiotics was found to impair mating behavior 267 …”

Many species of the Tephritidae family are invasive and cause huge damage to agriculture and horticulture, owing to their reproductive characteristics. In this review, we have summarized the existing studies on the reproductive behavior of Tephritidae, particularly those regarding the genes and external factors that are associated with courtship, mating, and oviposition. Furthermore, we outline the issues that still need to be addressed in fruit fly reproduction research. The review highlights the implications for understanding the reproductive behavior of fruit flies and discusses methods for their integrated management and biological control.This article is protected by copyright.

“…Microorganisms are crucial for the physiological functions of an insect's immune system [1], metabolism [2], and reproductive capacity [3,4]. Therefore, the development of insects is closely related to the biological processes of intestinal microbes.…”

“…Acetobacter and Lactobacillus can promote the development of Drosophila larvae, especially when nutrients are deficient [6,7]. Burkholderia symbiont promotes the development of Riptortus pedestris [4]. However, many extrinsic factors, such as the type of food substrate [7] and antibiotics, seriously impact the composition of gut microbes, which in turn affects growth and development [8,9].The habit of foraging and reproducing on corpses, decaying organic matter, and even feces lead necrophilic insects to have complex and diverse symbiotic microorganisms.…”

The intestinal bacteria of insects are crucial to the growth and development of the host. It has been found that various physiological processes of insects, such as immune response, metabolism, reproductive ability, and growth and development, involve the gastrointestinal flora. However, many external factors affect the composition of insects’ intestinal microorganisms, such as the type of dietary substrate. Sarcophaga peregrina (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) is of great significance in medicine and forensic science. In this study, we investigated the effects of ciprofloxacin on the growth and gut microbiota of S. peregrina. The results demonstrated that the maximum body length of larvae was not affected by ciprofloxacin, while the growth rate of body length quickened as the concentration of the drug increased. The weight of the pupa and adult was reduced significantly due to the effect of ciprofloxacin. After analyzing the gut microbiota composition of S. peregrina in different drug groups, it was indicated that Ignatzschineria, Providencia, Wohlfahrtiimonas, Proteus, Myroides, and Bacteroides play important roles in the growth of S. peregrina. However, they still need to be further studied. In general, ciprofloxacin can affect the gut microbial community structure, which in turn affects the fitness of the host.
