“…Contrarily, treating aphid adults with rose bengal, mixture C, and mixture D reduces the GST activity. Similar results were obtained by Abd El-Aziz and El- Sayed (2009), in which a reduction in GST activity was observed in the last larval instar of the confused flour beetle, Tribolium confusum treated with six EOs. In addition, Phankaen et al (2017) found that Tribolium castaneum GST was inhibited by caffeine from a Coffea arabica extract.…”

The present study investigates the insecticidal and biochemical effects of two essential oils (EOs) and two photosensitizers against cotton aphids in a laboratory setting. The EOs evaluated were clove (Syzygium aromaticum L.) and basil (Ocimum basilicum), while the photosensitizers were rose bengal and rhodamine B. The individual median lethal concentrations (LC50) revealed that clove was ~4.44 times more potent than basil, and rhodamine B was ~1.34 times more potent than rose bengal. The mortality rates increased using higher concentrations of the photosensitizers and prolonging exposure time to sunlight. The most effective combination against adult aphids was found to be a mixture of sub-lethal concentrations of clove and rhodamine B, resulting in a mortality rate of 92.31%. Conversely, the combination of basil and rose bengal exhibited the lowest efficacy with a mortality rate of 33.33%. Biochemical analyses indicate that Rhodamine B, basil, and the basil-rhodamine B mixture (mixture C) significantly reduced trehalase activity. However, the protease activity significantly increased in aphids treated with rose bengal, clove, and the clove-rose bengal mixtures (mixtures A and B). The lipase activity is notably decreased upon treatment with rhodamine B and clove. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity decreased in aphids treated with rose bengal and the basil-rhodamine B mixtures (mixtures C and D), suggesting that GST did not play a role in detoxifying these compounds, thereby explaining the susceptibility of A. gossypii. Overall, the combination of essential oils and photosensitizers has demonstrated a synergistic effect in controlling Aphis gossypii, offering great potential as an effective strategy for aphid management.

“…On the other hand, the specific activities of glutathione reductase were significantly reduced in treated larvae of 1 st and 2 nd generations, nymphs, and unfed adults when compared with untreated H. dromedarii ticks during the present study. Similar reports were released previously [76,[86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93] which tested the insecticidal effect of essential oils on P. polyxenes, Plodia interpuncletta, flour beetle, H. dromedarii, and Cx. pipiens, respectively.…”

T HE CURRENT study evaluated the acaricidal effect of Citrus sininses var balady peels' extracted-oil on camels' ticks Hyalomma dromedarii (H. dromedarii). Mortality % in treated adult ticks is directely correlated to oil concentrations. LC50s results were 82.2% and 78% in dipping and physical contact methods of application, respectively. Phytochemical screening carried out by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) detected: 2.8% β-Pinene, 43.334% Limonene, and 53.8426% D -Limonene. Citrus oils showed biolological chenges in H. dromedarii life cycle and its different instars along 2 in vitro generations. In comparison, Citrus oil treatments revealed high significant prolongation; than untreated group, in recorded periods by days of oviposition (17.8 > 6.8), hatching (17.6 > 7.4), larval-nymphal feeding (21 > 15.2), premolting (20 > 16), nymphal-adults feeding (19.4 > 6.2), otherwise, insignificantly affected prehatching and preoviposition periods in ticks of 1 st generation. In 2 nd generation, significantly increased oviposition (19 > 10) and molting periods (6.4 > 4.8), but reduced the prehatching (34 < 42), larval-nymphal feeding (17.8 < 25) periods, and sex ratio (12:1 > 3:1; male: female), yet insignificant effects on preoviposition, hatching, premolting periods, egg mass, and nymphal weights. Biochemically, total proteins contents quantitation, electrophoretic patterns, and enzymatic activities were significantly changed in treated than untreated and controls. SDS-PAGE patterns of treated larvae of 1st and 2nd generation and unfed females and males were separated into 17, 12, 6, and 10 bands within 240 to 31 kDa MWs, respectively. In addition, common bands with higher densitometry scanning phenotypic patterns were detected correlated to oil treatment and/or 2% DEMSO in positive controls. The appearance, disappearance, hyper, hypo -expressions of proteins bands indicated oil's efficacy on tick's faunas. Additionally, activities of antioxidant enzymes had been affected. Catalase increased in 1 st but decreased in 2 nd generation while glutathione reductase was significantly reduced in 1 st and 2 nd generations. In conclusion; Citrus peels' oil proved efficiency as an alternative eco-safe, biodegradable, and low cost acaricide useful in ticks control in the veterinary field.

“…The decreased activity in ALP was also induced in Bombyx mori and crickets when subjected to different stress conditions, diseases and toxic chemicals [48][49]. Six essential oils extracted from garlic (Allium sativum), mint (Mentha piperita), basil (Ocimum basilicum), thyme (Thymus vulgaris), sesame (Sesamum indicum) and chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) decreased ALP activity in Tribolium confusum adults and last larval instar, with a maximum reduction of 18% observed with chamomile [50]. Our results are in accordance with the inhibition of ALP activity in Euprepocnemis plorans obtained after feeding on limonoids [51].…”

Helicoverpa armigera is a global agricultural pest of serious concern. Continued use of chemical insecticides as control measures has raised grave health and environment concerns, necessitating a search for botanicals as safe alternatives. The current study investigates the effects of ?-sitosterol, a bioactive phytocomponent in Thevetia neriifolia, on the growth and development, as well as on midgut enzymes of H. armigera. Dietary ?-sitosterol produced dose-dependent systemic toxicity and growth inhibitory effects in H. armigera; the most significant effects were obtained with 10 ?g/mL dietary ?-sitosterol. Higher prepupal and pupal mortality in comparison to larval mortality and a comparatively greater reduction in average weight gained by later instars point to cumulative effects of ?-sitosterol. The delayed effects were ascertained by the 82.05%-57.89% reduction in adult emergence in comparison to 95.02% emergence in controls. Dose-dependent effects of ?-sitosterol were observed as significantly decreased enzyme activities of alanine aminotransaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransaminase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the larval midgut. Suppression of enzyme activity was obtained in the order ALT>AST>ALP. Impaired activity of gut enzymes possibly lowered the energy reserves and affected nutrient transport through the gut epithelium, affecting the growth and development of H. armigera. Our study points to a promising use of ?-sitosterol against H. armigera, although further examination and field studies are needed to ascertain its possible use in control programs.
