We previously reported high deltamethrin resistance in bed bugs, Cimex lectularius, collected from multiple areas of the United States (Romero et al., 2007). Recently, two mutations, the Valine to Leucine mutation (V419L) and the Leucine to Isoleucine mutation (L925I) in voltage-gated sodium channel a-subunit gene, had been identified to be responsible for knockdown resistance (kdr) to deltamethrin in bed bugs collected from New York (Yoon et al., 2008). The current study was undertaken to investigate the distribution of these two kdr mutations in 110 bed bug populations collected in the United States. Out of the 17 bed bug populations that were assayed for deltamethrin susceptibility, two resistant populations collected in the Cincinnati area and three deltamethrin-susceptible lab colonies showed neither of the two reported mutations (haplotype A). The remaining 12 populations contained L925I or both V419L and L925I mutations in voltage-gated sodium channel a-subunit gene (haplotypes B&C). In 93 populations that were not assayed for deltamethrin susceptibility, 12 contained neither of the two mutations (haplotype A) and 81 contained L925I or V419L or both mutations (haplotypes B-D). Thus, 88% of the bed bug populations collected showed target-site mutations. These data suggest that deltamethrin resistance conferred by target-site insensitivity of sodium channel is widely spread in bed bug populations across the United States.

Midgut-specific expression of CYP321A8 P450 gene increases deltamethrin tolerance in the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda

Xien Chen, Subba Reddy Palli

Summary: A piggyBac-based germline transformation system was established in the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, a global agricultural pest. Tissue-specific promoters were identified and used to drive the expression of transgenes, resulting in tissue-specific overexpression. Overexpression of certain genes in the midgut was found to confer insecticide resistance.

Juvenile hormone-induced histone deacetylase 3 suppresses apoptosis to maintain larval midgut in the yellow fever mosquito

Sharath Chandra Gaddelapati, Najla M. Albishi, Ramesh Kumar Dhandapani, Subba Reddy Palli

Summary: This study identified 10 genes coding for HDACs in the yellow fever mosquito and determined their role in larval development using RNA interference. The findings suggest that HDAC3 plays a crucial role in larval development and knockdown of HDAC3 leads to larval death and affects midgut size.

Mapping distributions of the Lyme disease vector, Ixodes scapularis, and spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, in Kentucky using passive and active surveillance

Anna R. Pasternak, Subba R. Palli

Summary: Lyme disease, the most common tick-borne illness in the United States, is increasing in prevalence each year. A study conducted in Kentucky, a non-endemic area, revealed a more than 300% increase in reported human cases from 2010 to 2019. Monitoring the distribution of infected ticks is crucial for effective prevention strategies and disease surveillance.

Development of multiple transgenic CRISPR/Cas9 methods for genome editing in the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda

Xien Chen, Subba Reddy Palli

Summary: This study reports the establishment of multiple transgenic CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing methods in the global agricultural pest, fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda. Fluorescent proteins suitable for screening for transgenic fall armyworm were identified. The use of U6-tRNA-sgRNA system for sgRNA expression was found to be more efficient in inducing target gene knockout. These methods provide valuable tools for gene editing and functional genomics studies in the fall armyworm and other lepidopteran pests.

The pleiotropic AMPK-CncC signaling pathway regulates the trade-off between detoxification and reproduction

Heng Jiang, Xiangkun Meng, Nan Zhang, Huichen Ge, Jiaping Wei, Kun Qian, Yang Zheng, Yoonseong Park, Subba Reddy Palli, Jianjun Wang

Summary: This study found that deltamethrin-induced oxidative stress activates AMPK, promoting the nuclear translocation of CncC through phosphorylation. CncC acts as a transcription activator of detoxification genes and regulates the expression of genes involved in ecdysteroid biosynthesis and juvenile hormone degradation. This results in increased ecdysteroid levels, decreased juvenile hormone titer, and down-regulated vitellogenin gene expression.

Inefficient uptake of small interfering RNAs is responsible for their inability to trigger RNA interference in Colorado potato beetle cells

Jinmo Koo, Dhandapani Gurusamy, Subba Reddy Palli

Summary: There is limited success in using exogenous small interfering RNA (siRNA) or small hairpin RNA (shRNA) to trigger RNA interference (RNAi) in insects. Instead, long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is used to induce gene knockdown in insects. In this study, the potency of si/sh RNAs and dsRNA was compared in Colorado potato beetle (CPB) cells. CPB cells showed a highly efficient RNAi response to dsRNA, but si/sh RNAs were inefficient in triggering RNAi in CPB cells.

N6-adenosine (m6A) mRNA methylation is required for Tribolium castaneum development and reproduction

Yaoyu Jiao, Subba Reddy Palli

Summary: m6A methylation is a common modification of mRNA, which regulates multiple stages of mRNA processing. In this study, the role of m6A modification in insect development was explored using the red flour beetle as a model. Knockdown of m6A writers and readers disrupted ecdysis during eclosion, sterilized the insects, and affected egg laying and embryonic development.
