  1. A NEW STRATEGY FOR MOSQUITO BIOCONTROL BASED ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS EFFECTIVENESS

    Mosquitoes are insects with a worldwide geographical distribution. Several species are known to spread animal and human illnesses, such as the Zika fever, Dengue fever, and malaria. This is due to the vectorial competence of adult females that is the ability to acquire a pathogen from an infected …

  2. Exploitation of underexplored physiological, metabarcoding and evolutionary aspects to enhance invasive insect pest management

    Invasive pests threaten agriculture and ecology of the invaded countries. To contrast and reduce their impact, entomologists develop specific and sustainable control strategies, which should target the pest and should not affect the surrounding environment. Therefore, a profound knowledge of pest …

  4. Ganaspis kimorum as a classical biological control agent for Drosophila suzukii: from laboratory studies to field assessments

    Agriculture forms the foundation of human society, providing one of the few essential resources we really need in life, food. However, agricultural production faces constant threats from emerging pests. While globalization facilitates access to agricultural products worldwide, it also opens the …

  5. Mathematical models for host-parasitoid interactions and biological control of Drosophila suzukii

    This thesis treats mathematical models for host-parasitoid interactions. It is composed of three parts. In the first part, a class of such models is analyzed theoretically. It focuses on the phenomena of multiple coexistence equilibria of competing parasitoid species. The second part is about a …
