“…Previous studies have demonstrated that Eucalyptus globulus EO acts as a repellent for adult mealworms [15] but not for larvae [16]. However, dried and ground leaves of this eucalyptus were found to be repellent to larvae.…”

Beetle Tenebrio molitor L. (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) is a well-known pest of grain and flour in food stores and grocery shops. Recently, commercial cultivation of the insect was started for human food and animal feed. Behaviour control of this insect using natural repellents is promising both for grain protection and commercial cultivation. We analysed if natural products of plant origin, namely essential oils (EOs), could be used for this purpose. Behavioural tests were performed using EOs of six plants: thymus (Thymus vulgaris), eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus), spearmint (Mentha spicata), lavandin (Lavandula × hybrida), East-Indian lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus), and clove (Eugenia caryophyllus). The most effective repellent for mealworm larvae was EO of spearmint, moderate activity showed that of clove and the least repellent were EOs of lemongrass thymus and lavandin. EO of eucalyptus caused almost no or very low effect. Six of the most abundant compounds of the EOs were selected for testing. The most effective single compounds were terpinene-4-ol and carvone, low-effective cis-sabinene hydrates and those of no significant activity were limonene, myrcene and γ-terpinene.

“…The broad range of chemical interactions between insects and the environment is constantly studied, and a relatively full data base on pheromones of insects is available on the internet (www.pherobase.com). Our studies indicate that agriculturally significant insects can react to chemical compounds and their mixture in fooder (Brygadyrenko & Nazimov 2015;Martynov et al, 2019aMartynov et al, , 2019b, as well as chemically synthesized substances introduced to their environment (Titov & Brygadyrenko, 2021). Influence of household chemicals to which insects inside or near households are daily subjected has been studied fragmentarilly (Nehrii & Brygadyrenko, 2022), and such studies have not been conducted on Turkestan cockroach until now.…”

Attractive and repellent properties of many household chemicals may be used to combat synantrophic insects, such as cockroaches. In the natural environment, Shelfordella lateralis (Walker, 1868) (Blattodea, Blattidae) lives in the area spanning Central Asia to North Africa. Furthermore, in many tropical and subtropical countries, it is common in human accomodations. In the laboratory conditions, we determined reaction of cockroaches to aromatic mixtures and medicinal plants often used in households. Attractiveness coefficient was the lowest for cosmetic mixtrures Tutti-fruti and Verbena and Bamboo; other cosmetic aromatizers did not repell this insect (Lilac, Mango) or repelled it poorly (Grapefruit, Amaretto, Pine). Food additives that significantly repelled Sh. lateralis are Apricot, Barberry and Kiwi and lower effects were produced by Biscuit, whereas Vanilla flavouring had no repellent effect. Mixtures for vaping Strawberry pie, Pear, Frozen forest, Irish Cream and Blue Magic exerted strong repellent effects on cockroaches. Low repellent effect on Sh. lateralis were exerted by vaping mixtures Pancakes with Honey, Turkish Tobacco and Grapefruit. No significant effects on the number of cockroaches were exerted by vaping mixtures Vanilla, Club Ice Cream, Blueberry Smoke, Mojito, Chocolate, Apple, Mint and Walnut. Out of the fishing lures, the strongest repellent effects on Sh. lateralis were taken by Blood Worm, Onion and Honey, and weaker effects were exerted by Corn and Vanilla. Imagoes of Sh. lateralis were most significantly repelled by essential oils from jojoba, eucalyptus, daisy, tee tree, Cao Sao Vang balsam, and also fir essential oil. Neither luring nor repellent effects on imagoes of Sh. lateralis were displayed by essential oils from lemon, aloe, peppermint and mandarin. Dry medicinal plants repelled imagoes of Sh. lateralis: inflorescences of Calendula officinalis, leaves of Artemisia absinthium, flowers of Jasminum officinale, leaves of Origanum vulgare, inflorescences of Matricaria chamomilla, inflorescences of Crataegus monogyna, leaves of Mentha x piperita, inflorescences of Achillea millefolium, leaves of Hypericum perforatum, leaves of Aristolochia clematitis and inflorescences of Tanacetum vulgare. No repellent effects on Sh. lateralis were exerted by Chelidonium majus, inflorescences of Tilia cordata and inflorescences of Helichrysum arenarium. Thus, most (40 of 58, or 69.0%) of the tested aromatic substances and medicinal plants repelled synantrophic Turkestan cockroach, while a much smaller share (31.0%) neither significantly lured nor repelled them. No aromatic mixtures attracted Sh. lateralis in our experiment.

The problem of tuberculosis has been relevant for many years due to active spread of the infection pathogen around the globe, in particular in Ukraine. In this article, we determined the epizootic role of the rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae (Linnaeus, 1763); Coleoptera, Curculionidae) in the spread of Mycobacterium bovis. We identified the effect of the beetle on properties of the pathogen, particularly the changes in morphology, cultural, biochemical, and biological properties after the bacteria had travelled through the body of the rice weevil. To achieve our objectives, we used the museum 100th passage of the virulent strain of M. bovis. We employed microscopic, cultural, biochemical, biological (infecting the biological model), pathoanatomic, histological methods, and PCR studies. The rice weevil is able to retain mycobacteria and release them into their environment for 30 days after becoming infected, with gradual decrease in the number of microbial cells. According to morphology and cultural properties, the pathogen we isolated in the experiment was identical to the initial culture. Enzymatic activity of the bacteria varied. The bacteria that had passed through the intestines of M. bovis were observed to have changes in the biochemical parameters which helped them to adapt to the new environment. We measured the effect of the rice weevil on pathogenicity of M. bovis, isolated directly from the beetle and from grain contaminated with the insects during the experiment. The practical importance of the study consists in expansion of our understanding of the ways M. bovis spreads, identification of effect the rice weevil has on mycobacteria. It also might help in the search for ways to interrupt the chain of tuberculosis transmission – prevention of spread of the disease to favourable areas.
