Evaluating the mitochondrial genomic diversity, global distribution and niche overlap of two invasive Phthorimaea species

Inusa, Jacob Ajene; Heya, Helen; Fathiya, Mbarak Khamis (Heliyon, 2024)

This study sought to evaluate the genetic diversity of two invasive Phthorimaea species (Phthorimaea operculella Zeller and Phthorimaea absoluta Meyrick), and identify potential niche overlap of both species. The complete ...
Immunological responses and gut microbial shifts in Phthorimaea absoluta exposed to Metarhizium anisopliae isolates under different temperature regimes

Maingi Felix, Muendo; Komivi, Senyo Akutse; Inusa, Jacob Ajene; Kevin, Mbogo Omolo; Fathiya, Mbarak Khamis (Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023)

The invasive tomato leaf miner, Phthorimaea absoluta, is conventionally controlled through chemical insecticides. However, the rise of insecticide resistance has necessitated sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. ...
Population dynamics and insecticide resistance in Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), an invasive pest on tomato in Kenya

Maureen, Adhiambo Ong’onge; Inusa, Jacob Ajene; Steven, Runo; Bonoukpo´e, Mawuko Sokame; Fathiya, Mbarak Khamis (Heliyon, 2023)

Tuta absoluta feeds on solanaceous plants with preference on tomato. Management of the pest is mostly with chemical insecticides. This study identified insecticide resistant populations and predicted resistance to insecticides. ...
