“…To our knowledge, the available published data for the efficacy of phosphine against A. diaperinus are based on the quantification of treatments from field tests, which were carried out only to estimate control levels without the use of resistance evaluation protocols [28,32]. Essentially, this is the first research indicating the effect of phosphine on different life stages of this species using standard laboratory exposure protocols.…”

The efficacy of phosphine has been established for numerous major stored product insects. However, data related to the evaluation of the effect of phosphine on Tenebrio molitor L and Alphitobius diaperinus Panzer are limited. The present study aims to evaluate the susceptibility of these species to phosphine by using the following evaluation protocols: (a) all life stages were exposed for 3 days to different concentrations of phosphine, (b) adults were exposed to 3000 ppm until all exposed individuals were immobilized, using the Phosphine Tolerance Test (PTT, Detia Degesch GmbH, Germany), and (c) adults were exposed to 3000 ppm of phosphine for 90 min by again using the PTT protocol. For all series of bioassays, delayed mortality was recorded 7 and 14 d post-exposure. According to our results, 100 ppm for three days was sufficient to kill all life stages, including the eggs, for both species. Alphitobius diaperinus adults were found to be more tolerant than those T. molitor, as noticeable survival was observed, even after 90 min of exposure to 3000 ppm. Our study provides some initial data for the efficacy of short and long exposures of A. diaperinus and T. molitor to phosphine.

“…Specimens were photographed with a macro digital camera, and the original samples were using a microscope with a magnification of ×400. Termite samples were classified according to species identity, using information provided by Diba et al (2013), Subekti and Syahadan (2021), and relevant references. Termites were also identified by matching their characteristics with the key of determination in the book Biology of Termites by Kumar Khrisna and Frances M. Weesner Volume II 1969.…”

Abstract. Subekti N, Milanio RR. 2023. Termite diversity and abundance based on altitude in Mount Ungaran, Central Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 3332-3337. Termites are social insects whose main diet is the cellulose and lignocellulose found in rotting wood and in some fungi. As the Mount Ungaran area in Central Java, Indonesia, has been converted to agriculture and other purposes, termite habitat has become increasingly narrow, with a reduction in the insects’ food sources. The purpose of this study was to analyze the species of termites found on Mount Ungaran and the factors that influence their lives. In addition, the differences in species according to slope (north, south, east, and west) and altitude were assessed. This research was conducted in three stages: termite collection, termite identification, and data analysis. The main species found in this study were Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren, 1913, Odontotermes javanicus Holmgren, 1912, Macrotermes gilvus Hagen, 1858, Nasutitermes matangensis Haviland, 1898, and Bulbitermes constrictiformis Holmgren, 1914. Based on a Shannon-Wiener analysis, the west slope had the highest diversity index, which was primarily influenced by four environmental factors (soil pH, soil temperature, soil moisture, and rainfall). In the canonical relationship correspondence analysis, soil pH, light intensity, and canopy cover were the environmental factors that most affected the diversity and abundance of termites on Mount Ungaran. The conclusions that can be drawn from this study are that termite richness varied between slopes and the environmental factors that were the most associated with the variation were soil pH, light intensity, and canopy cover.

“…M. domestica is a synanthropic pest and mechanical vector of human and animal pathogens, such as Escherichia, Salmonella, Campylobacter, Shigella, Enterococcus, and Chlamydia [4]. Insects have high mobility and adaptive abilities to existing environmental factors [5]. Therefore, controlling the Musca domestica population needs to be done to prevent disease transmission.…”

The bacteria are in human food through insects that act as disease vectors, such as flies. The housefly (Musa domestica) is one of the insects around human habitation that can affect human health. Therefore, controlling the M. domestica population must be done to prevent disease transmission, such as using insecticide. This research used the pirimiphos-methyl and alpha-cypermethrin active ingredients with different doses applied using the surface spraying method of the paper. Then, it was smeared with honey as an attractant. Methods used in this research include test insect preparation, active ingredient application, and data analysis. The data were analyzed statistically using the one-way ANOVA test. Innovation of the research that comperation about active ingredients of the pirimiphos-methyl and alpha-cypermethrin. Result of the research, insecticides with the pirimiphos-methyl proved effective to controlling M. domestica with doses of MP2 and MP3 to 100% mortality in less than 8 hours. In comparison, for the alpha-cypermethrin active ingredient, the mortality of M. domestica is less than 90%. These results indicate that M. domestica in that area is resistant to the alpha-cypermethrin. This research can be used for pest control to control pests effectively and efficiently.
