Pesticides by themselves are a grave threat to global health. As is global warming. As is antibiotic resistance. Each of ...

The genetic basis of pesticide resistance has been widely studied, but the exact nature of this evolutionary process in the field is often unclear, particularly when a limited number of populations is ...

New research conducted at Virginia Tech found that a gene mutation found in bed bugs may contribute to their insecticide resistance.

Virginia Tech researchers discovered a gene mutation in bed bugs linked to pesticide resistance and were the first to ...

Since then, this urban pest has been enjoying a resurgence in populations globally and has displayed resistance to an array of insecticides used for their control. A study published in the Journal of ...

Resistance to insecticides is complicating pest control in potatoes, prompting experts to urge farmers in North America to ...

Although this biotech approach reduces reliance on insecticide sprays thereby providing economic and environmental benefits, resistance to Bt crops has evolved in at least 11 species of pests.
