“…Early life stages are typically reported to be more susceptible to UV-C. Dose/effect relationships have been reported. Naga et al (2013) treated newly emerged Tribolium castaneum (Herbst 1797) adults and showed that fecundity, egg hatch, pupation and adult emergence were reduced in proportion to dose, and Ghanem and Shamma (2007) found that the mortality of Trogoderma granarium Everts 1898 larvae of different ages increased proportionally with increases in dose, and for each dose, larval mortality was inversely related to age. Premature emergence of deformed adultoids with characteristics between adults and pupae occurred when 24 and 48 h-old pupae were irradiated.…”

“…Studies on Coleoptera have focused on their role as pests of stored products, and most have examined the use of UV‐C lamps emitting at 254 nm (Table S8). The majority of these studies have not stated the doses used but report effects on egg hatch, and growth and development of larvae, pupae and adults (Beard, 1972; Begum et al, 2007; Bhardwaj et al, 2019; Calderon et al, 1985; Collins & Kitchingman, 2010; Faruki et al, 2005, 2007; Ghanem & Shamma, 2007; Heidari et al, 2016; Henzlik, 1964; Masoumi et al, 2021; Modarres Najafabadi et al, 2014; Naga et al, 2013; Parween et al, 2004 (cited in Heidari et al, 2016); Sedaghat et al, 2011, 2014; Sharma & Dwivedi, 1997; Singh & Das, 2019).

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) has positive and negative impacts on organisms and affects entire ecosystems. It is currently receiving attention because of the interactions of UVR with changes in climate that are likely to affect agriculture and food security. A review is provided on the effects of different types of UVR on the survival, development and reproduction of insects, collembolans and mites. The foci are on how UVR is used in pest control and how it affects arthropod coloration and distribution. Direct exposure to UV‐A, UV‐B and UV‐C delays development and reduces survival and host‐seeking ability of arthropods; immature stages are more sensitive than the adults. Increased exposure of crops to UVR has indirect effects on herbivory, and regions with high UVR levels may permit crop production in the absence of certain pest insect species. The Bunsen‐Roscoe law of reciprocity was upheld for Diaphorina citri and Tetranychus urticae under the range of irradiances and durations of exposure used in two studies, which showed that, for a constant dose, the effects of low irradiances of long durations were equivalent to those of higher irradiances of shorter durations. DNA damage caused by UV‐C and UV‐B can be repaired by photoreactivation; both white light and UV‐A are effective.

Background & objectives: Understanding the influence of ultraviolet light on organisms is important for examining the hazards of exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. However, little is known about the biological toxicity of ultraviolet light against mosquitoes, which are regularly exposed to UV light. This study was planned to determine the impact of UV radiation on different aquatic stages of Aedes aegypti, Anopheles stephensi and Culex quinquefaciatus mosquitoes. Methods: We exposed I/II instar larvae, III/IV instar larvae and pupae of Ae. aegypti, An. stephensi and Cx. quinquefaciatus mosquitoes to UV radiation of 253 nm wavelength in a closed chamber of 30×30 cm. The exposure was done for different time intervals viz. 1, 2, 3, 4 minutes and so on. Development of larvae/pupae to adult stage was monitored daily and mortality, if any, was recorded. Results: Development of I/II instar larvae of Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus to pupal stage was unsuccessful at an exposure time of one minute while only 1.7% pupation occurred in I/II instar larvae of Ae. aegypti upon similar exposure. When III/IV stage larvae were exposed to UV light, pupal development occurred only at 30seconds and one-minute exposure in An. stephensi and Cx. quinquefaciatus but in Ae. aegypti, no pupation occurred with one-minute exposure. With four-minute UV exposure of pupae, no adult emerged in Ae. aegypti; 33.3% adult emerged in An. stephensi and 66.7% adult emerged in Cx. quinquefaciatus. Interpretation & conclusion: Our results show that UV radiation results in developmental arrest of Ae. aegypti, An. stephensi and Cx. quinquefaciatus mosquitoes.
