Drosophila suzukii Matsumura and Zaprionus indianus Gupta (Diptera: Drosophilidae) are invasive pests affecting fig crops in Mexico. Monitoring the density of fruit fly populations plays an important role in deciding pest management strategies. In fruit and vegetable production, food baits and traps are commonly used to monitor and control these pests. However, many local fig farmers have limited access to advanced technologies and are constantly seeking affordable and effective solutions to imp

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), a tropical grass originating from Africa, serves as a staple food source for both humans and livestock. The global expansion of sorghum cultivation, particularly in Brazil and the United States, has facilitated the spread of the sugarcane aphid, Melanaphis sacchari (Zehntner) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), a highly adaptable pest. This study evaluated adult fecundity and nymphal development of M. sacchari in 12 sorghum genotypes to identify potential sources of re

Cashew nuts are the third most exported agricultural product in Côte d'Ivoire, though the production in the country remains limited, possibly due to factors such as inadequate pollination. This study aimed to evaluate the insects visiting the inflorescences of cashew trees in Niofoin, located in the northern region of Côte d'Ivoire. The study was conducted in a two-hectare cashew orchard, where insects attracted to the inflorescences were captured and identified. Four cashew varieties we

Scolytine bark beetles from the genus Tomicus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) are among the most important forestry pests globally, known for their ability to establish themselves in new environments and pose a risk to native forest ecosystems. These beetles are considered non-native to the Americas. However, Tomicus piniperda L., commonly known as the pine shoot beetle, has recently invaded North America, and specimens of T. minor Hart have been identified in the United States. Their po

Between August to November (2018) and February to May (2019), 8 insect collections were made across three-grain crops—corn, wheat, and barley—at El Capulín, Salvatierra, Gto., totaling 6,596 specimens. The insect fauna included 11 orders and 59 families, of which 53 families are found in corn, 25 in wheat, and 24 in barley. The entomofauna was classified into two main functional groups based on their ecological roles and diets: 1) EFGs (ecological functional groups), which include predators, her

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.
