Lasioderma serricorne (F.) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae) is widely recognized as the most harmful pest in the cigarette production industry. Beta-cyfluthrin, a synthetic pyrethroid, has long been used as an effective pesticide to control L. serricorne in cigarette and food processing facilities. This study aimed to evaluate the resistance of L. serricorne populations collected from the Hefei cigarette factory to beta-cyfluthrin and their response to imidacloprid, an alternative insecticide. The findin

This study provides a detailed analysis of the male reproductive system of Mylabris cernyi, contributing to a broader understanding of the morphology of the blister beetle. The male reproductive system of M. cernyi consists of an aedeagus, 2 seminal vesicles, 2 vasa deferentia, an ejaculatory duct, 3 pairs of accessory glands, and 2 testes. We examined the structure of these organs using optical and electron microscopy. The testes contain 14–15 radially arranged follicles, with distinct maturati

This study examines the butterfly diversity of Chilkigarh, a heritage village and a well-known tourist attraction in the Jhargram subdivision of West Bengal, India. Using standard sampling methods, various diversity indices were assessed to analyze the butterfly community composition. During a year (December 2021 to November 2022), a total of 59 species from 6 families and 14 subfamilies were recorded, with a significant species-to-genus ratio of 1.31:1. Among them, 11 species are listed under v

Plant essential oils, with their rapid breakdown, low toxicity, and environmental safety, serve as a promising natural alternative for pest control. This study investigates the insecticidal potential of Eucalyptus and Zataria essential oils against Macrosiphum euphorbiae. The oils were extracted by water distillation using a Clevenger device, and bioassay tests were performed on adult specimens at different concentrations. Probit analysis determined the LC50 and LC90 values for eucalyptus oil at

Since 2020, Eurasia Specialized Veterinary Publication has been dedicated to publishing rigorous scientific research in veterinary medicine, entomology, animal health, and related disciplines. Our journals offer a peer-reviewed home for original research, review articles, and short communications, spanning veterinary and clinical sciences, animal health and disease management, pathology, pharmacology, diagnostics, zoonotic diseases, epidemiology, and public health. Our entomology titles bring together work on insect biology, ecology and behavior, taxonomy and systematics, physiology, biodiversity and conservation, pest management, and medical and veterinary entomology. We also welcome interdisciplinary research that explores the connections between animal, human, insect, and environmental health — work that reflects the reality that these fields rarely stand apart from one another. In all that we publish, our aim remains the same: to support the exchange of meaningful, practical scientific knowledge within the international research community.
