ADIPOKINETIC HORMONE RECEPTOR MEDIATES LIPID MOBILIZATION TO REGULATE STARVATION RESISTANCE IN THE BROWN PLANTHOPPER, NILAPARVATA LUGENS

Adipokinetic Hormone Receptor Mediates Lipid Mobilization to Regulate Starvation Resistance in the Brown Planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens

Lipid storage must be efficiently mobilized to sustain the energy demands during processes of exercise or starvation.In insects, adipokinetic hormone (AKH) and brummer lipase are well-known regulators of SPST 9volt Relay lipid mobilization.We recently demonstrated that brummer-dependent lipolysis regulates starvation resistance in the brown plantho

Temperature-derived potential for the establishment of phlebotomine sandflies and visceral leishmaniasis in Germany

Climate change is expected to manifest in the shift of organisms to regions where they were not present in the past, potentially entailing previously unseen biological risks.However, studies evaluating these future trends are scarce.Here, an important group of vectors (sandflies) and the pathogen transmitted (Leishmania infantum complex) causing th
