Terpenos em cupins do gênero Nasutitermes (Isoptera, Termitidae, Nasutitermitinae)

Abstract: publicado na web em 04/09/2013 TERPENES FROM Nasutitermes genus TERMITES (Isoptera, Termitidae, Nasutitermitinae). The chemical composition of the front gland of termites has been studied for over 40 years. The genus Nasutitermes, considered the most evolved of the Termitidae family, has a peculiarity that sets it apart from the others: a caste of soldiers that carry a terpenic mixture used in defense. This secretion is formed by mono, sesqui and diterpenes from trinervitane, kempane and rippertane skeletons, … Show more

“…Insect attacks, mainly by termites, are major causes of damage to low-resistance wood, especially that of low-density trees (Melo et al 2015). Termites of the genus Nasutitermes Dudley, 1890 (Isoptera, Termitidae, Nasutitermitinae) live underground and have a preference for dry or decaying wood, are among the most abundant insect species in tropical and subtropical regions of the planet (Paes et al 2007;Cruz et al 2014;Pereira et al 2015;Batista et al 2020). Fungi occurring in wood can be divided into mold, stain, and decaying fungi.…”

“…Os cupins do gênero Nasutitermes (Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae) constroem normalmente suas colônias em locais acima da superfície do solo, em troncos, ou galhos ou ramos das árvores. A construção dos ninhos geralmente ocorre durante a estação chuvosa, sendo e estruturados a partir de madeira digerida e certos componentes, como areia cimentada com fluidos fecais e salivares (Cruz et al, 2014). Segundo He et al (2013); Krishna et al (2013) O critério de seleção foi decorrente da comercialização no mercado da construção civil para fins de estruturas permanentes, como vigas, caibros e tábuas, visto que estes usos expõem à madeira a alto risco de ataque por agentes xilófagos.…”
