Project description:The invasive Halyomorpha halys Stål, the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB), and the native Nezara viridula L., the Southern Green Stink Bugs (SGSB), are widely distributed in Europe, even if the date of introduction and their diet differ. Saliva of Hemipteran pests plays an essential role in the interaction between insects and their host plants. Several aphid salivary proteomes have been identified and found to differ according to the species, while no comparative investigation between phytophagous stink bugs has been performed yet. Here we analyzed the salivary proteins from two bugs, BMSB and SGSB, using LC-MS/MS. A total of 238 and 305 proteins were identified from dissected salivary glands from BMSB and SGSB respectively. Among these, a large majority was found in both species. In comparison with salivary proteome from other Hemiptera, the most striking feature of the salivary gland proteomes from SGSB and BMSB is the similar protein functions patterns. Some of the proteins are speculated to be dependent of the feeding strategies, playing a significant role in plant-insect interactions. Our results provide a framework for future research to elucidate the molecular basis of differential impact of piercing-sucking insects on host plants.

Project description:Predatory bugs capture prey by injecting venom from their salivary glands using specialized stylets. Understanding venom function has been impeded by a scarcity of knowledge of their venom composition. We therefore examined the proteinaceous components of the salivary venom of the predatory stink bug Arma chinensis (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae). Using gland extracts and venoms from 5th-instar nymphs or adult females, we performed shotgun proteomics combined with venom gland transcriptomics. We found that the venom of A. chinensis comprised a complex suite of over a hundred individual proteins, including oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, ligases, protease inhibitors, and recognition, transport and binding proteins. Besides the uncharacterized proteins, hydrolases such as venom serine proteases, cathepsins, phospholipase A2, phosphatases, nucleases, alpha-amylases, and chitinases constitute the most abundant protein families. However, salivary proteins shared by and unique to other predatory heteropterans were not detected in A. chinensis venom. Injection of the proteinaceous (> 3 kDa) venom fraction of A. chinensis gland extracts or venom into its prey, the larvae of the Oriental armyworm Mythimna separata (Walker, 1865), revealed insecticidal activity against lepidopterans. Our data expands the knowledge of heteropteran salivary proteins and suggests predatory asopine bugs as a novel source for bioinsecticides.

Project description:The common bed bug, Cimex lectularius, is an urban pest of global health significance, severely affecting the physical and mental health of humans. In contrast to most other blood-feeding arthropods, bed bugs are not major vectors of pathogens, but the underlying mechanisms for this phenomenon are largely unexplored. Here, we present the first transcriptomics study of bed bugs in response to immune challenges. To study transcriptional variations in bed begs following ingestion of bacteria, we extracted and processed mRNA from immune-related tissues of adult male bed bugs after ingestion of sterile blood or blood laced with the Gram-positive (Gr+) bacterium Bacillus subtilis or the Gram-negative (Gr–) bacterium Escherichia coli. We analyzed mRNA from the bed bugs’ midgut (the primary tissue involved in blood ingestion) and from the rest of their bodies (RoB; body minus head and midgut tissues).

Project description:A frightening resurgence of bed bug infestations has occurred over the last 10 years in the US. Current chemical methods have been inadequate for controlling bed bugs due to widespread insecticide resistance. Little is known about the mechanisms of resistance present in US bed bug populations, making it extremely difficult to develop intelligent strategies to control this pest. We have identified bed bugs collected in Richmond, VA which exhibit both kdr-type (L925I) and metabolic resistance to pyrethroid insecticides. LD50 bioassays determined resistance ratios of ~6000-fold to the insecticide deltamethrin, with contact bioassays confirming cross-resistance to several other labeled formulations. To identify metabolic genes potentially involved in the detoxification of pyrethroids, we performed deep-sequencing of the adult bed bug transcriptome, obtaining more than 2.5 million reads on the 454 titanium platform. Following assembly, analysis of newly identified gene transcripts in both Harlan (susceptible) and Richmond (resistant) bed bugs revealed several candidate cytochrome P450 and carboxyesterase genes which were significantly over-expressed in the resistant strain, consistent with the idea of increased metabolic resistance. These data will accelerate efforts to understand the biochemical basis for insecticide resistance in bed bugs, and provide molecular markers to assist in the surveillance of metabolic resistance.
