    Tsetse Flies and African Trypanosomiasis: Biology, Epidemiology, and Integrated Vector Control.

    By Mahesh Gaba*, Atul Khajuria1

    Abstract: Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) are hematophagous dipterans confined to sub-Saharan Africa and serve as cyclical vectors of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) and African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT), with major implications for human health, livestock productivity, and rural development. An integrated understanding of tsetse biology, parasite transmission, climate, and land–use–driven distribution shifts, and the comparative performance of control tools—especially insecticides and sterile insect technique (SIT)—is essential for designing sustainable elimination strategies. HAT …

    Medically Important Hemiptera: Bed Bugs and Kissing Bugs in Human Health.

    By Atul Khajuria1, Ashish Kumar 2, Prabhdeep Singh

    Abstract: Bed bugs (family Cimicidae) and kissing bugs (subfamily Triatominae) are hematophagous Hemiptera of major medical importance, yet they differ markedly in their public health impact. Bed bugs have resurged globally over the past three decades, with infestations reported from homes, multi-unit housing, hotels, transportation, and healthcare facilities in both high and low-income settings. They are not established biological vectors of human pathogens, but their bites cause pruritic papules, urticarial, and …

    Artificial Intelligence in Entomology: Global Advances, Applications, and Future Directions in Insect Research and Pest Management

    By David Sunday Araoti,

    Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming entomology by enabling scalable, data-driven approaches to insect identification, ecological monitoring, and sustainable pest management. This review synthesizes recent global advances in AI applications across taxonomy, behavioral ecology, predictive modeling, and precision agriculture. Machine learning and deep learning techniques—including convolutional neural networks, acoustic classification models, and ensemble predictive algorithms—have demonstrated high classification accuracies (often exceeding 90% under controlled conditions) and improved early detection of pest …

    Demodex spp. (Acari: Demodicidae) Infestation in Humans: Diagnostic Clues and Therapeutic Approaches to Primary and Secondary Demodicosis.

    By Atul Khajuria

    Abstract: Demodicosis represents an inflammatory dermatosis and adnexal disorder arising from pathologic overgrowth of Demodex mites, primarily Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, which are ubiquitous human ectoparasites residing in pilosebaceous units and eyelid margins. Once regarded as benign commensals, these mites are now recognized as primary drivers or key cofactors in diverse clinical phenotypes, including papulopustular eruptions, pityriasis folliculorum, rosacea-like disorders, blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, and exacerbations of comorbid dermatoses such …

    Investigating mosquito innate immune defence mechanism towards malaria vaccine development

    By Feisal Mohammed

    Abstract: Mosquito-borne diseases weigh heavily on public health across the globe. The mosquito’s innate immune system certainly decides whether malaria parasites survive inside the vector, and that sighted it as a logical place to discover new vaccine ideas. In this review, we examine how Anopheles mosquitoes defend themselves against Plasmodium parasites and how those defenses could be turned into tools for malaria control. We focus on three layers of immunity: antimicrobial …

    Interaction of Mosquito’s hppd Enzyme with Lansoprazole Sulfide A New Hope to Tackle the Mosquito Menace – an in-Silico Study

    By Prakash Vaithyanathan

    Abstract: Tyrosine detoxification is an important physiological process that helps blood-feeding insects, such as mosquitoes that transmit Plasmodium parasites causing malaria, digest their blood meals. An enzyme known as 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), which is part of the tyrosine detoxification pathway, helps in removing excess tyrosine in a high-protein blood meal. Excess tyrosine can be lethal to the insects, and hence, the role of HPPD enzyme is very critical. Inhibitors of HPPD …

    Climate-Driven Shifts in Vector-Borne Disease Ecology Across South Asia

    By Atul Khajuria, Stephen Monday, Eric Kwasi Elliason, Gagan, J. Samuel Kamanda

    Abstract: Climate change remains one of the most important phenomena affecting the geographical distribution and movement patterns of vector-borne diseases. In South Asia – characterized by high population density, rich biodiversity, and sharp climatic differences – there is growing evidence of the relationship between increasing temperatures and erratic precipitation, along with the behavior of insect vectors. This research aims to evaluate the effects of climate environmental changes on the distribution and …

    Advancements in Insect Science: Agricultural, Health, and Biotechnological Applications for Sustainability

    By Dr. V. Basil Hans

    Abstract: Insect research is very important for solving problems in agriculture, health, industry, and protecting the environment. This article talks about the many uses of entomology and how new study on insects helps with pest control, pollination, disease vector control, and the creation of bioinspired technologies. There is a lot of talk about integrated pest management (IPM) tactics, using insects in forensic investigations, and the new sector of producing insect- based …
