Bed Bugs (Cimex lectularius and C. hemipterus) during the early part of the 21st Century have undergone a massive resurgence in Australia and there has been a notable lack of quality information available on this re-emerging public health pest. Thus this web site is dedicated to pest management of Bed Bugs. A lot of resources are free for download. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
VectorBase is a web-accessible data repository for information about invertebrate vectors of human pathogens. VectorBase annotates and maintains vector genomes providing an integrated resource for the research community. Currently, VectorBase contains genome information for two organisms: Anopheles gambiae, a vector for the Plasmodium protozoan agent causing malaria, and Aedes aegypti, a vector for the flaviviral agents causing Yellow fever and Dengue fever.

It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the 2014 International Congress on Invertebrate Pathology and Microbial Control & 47th Annual Meeting of the Society for Invertebrate Pathology. The meeting will be held from August 3rd to 7th, 2014 at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany. We are planning an exciting scientific program to explore the latest findings in invertebrate pathology, including microbial control of insect pests, diseases in beneficial invertebrates, medical and biotechnological significance of entomopathogens, and fundamental scientific research in host-pathogen interactions. ...

Constant changes in climate, consumer demand, economy, regulations, technology, as well as invasions of new pest species, continuously challenge researchers, extension officers, growers and the agro-businesses. These and other topics will be discussed at the meeting. The venue of the meeting, the program structure and the collegial atmosphere are designed to encourage informal interactions, explore common interests and possible collaborations, and facilitate learning and information sharing. Visits to Israeli protected crop operations will provide unique opportunities to explore new technologies and approaches, share knowhow, and interact with growers and extension officers. ...

The Ecological Database of the World's Insect Pathogens (EDWIP) offers information on fungi, viruses, protozoa, mollicutes, nematodes, and bacteria¹ that are infectious in insects, mites, and related arthropods. Data in EDWIP include associations (or lack thereof) between pathogenic organisms and insect, mite, and other arthropod hosts. EDWIP also includes information on where associations have been observed, stages and tissues of hosts infected, and habitats and host ranges of the arthropod hosts. Association and nonassociation data in EDWIP are supported by bibliographic citations. All areas of the database are searchable. (....) ¹Because of the tremendous volume of information available on the bacterial pathogen Bacillus thuringiensis, we have excluded this species from EDWIP. For informaton on Bt, see the Canadian Forest Service's Bt Toxin Specificity Database. ... [Information of the supplier]

On this page the Bavarian Agency for Viticulture and Horticulture presents a simple, general identification key for insects and spiders aimed at amateur gardeners and people interested in natural history who have no foreknowledge of the subject. By means of many pictures and a little text, and with no knowledge of subject jargon, it should be possible for the amateur to assign his finds to one or other of the groups of insect or spiders through a sort of question and answer game with an “Expert Computer”. The promise of simplicity and clarity does not allow consideration of all the animal groups so that, for example, dragonflies, cockroaches, and lice have been ignored. In any case, it is hardly possible to take the identification to the species level. Normally this is not necessary. Just the knowledge that the animal in question belongs, say, to the bugs, is enough to obtain an overview of the life and importance of this group in the ecology section that follows. ...

Wim van Egmond (1966) studied painting and photography on the Rotterdam artschool in the Netherlands. Since 1990 he works as a free-lance artist specialised in photomicrography and stereoscopy and a combination of both. These photographs were used in books, magazines, art exhibitions, installations and theater plays. [Information of the supplier]
The Bavarian State Collection of Zoology hat inherited to build up the node "Evertebrata II" within GBIF Germany. Tasks and organisation struktur are shown under the marked hyperlinks. Beside the colleagues of the Bavarian State Collection of Zoology, collaborators from the museums of Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Cismar are participating. Another important partner is the SysTax-project, which provides the portal to show the data on the internet. ... [Information of the supplier]
This Web site provides access to site-specific lists of insects that occur at various parks, refuges, and management units within North America. The lists were authored, compiled and contributed to this Web site by various professional and amateur lepidopterists. Each separate list follows the order of the most recent catalogue or listing of common names which is cited at the end of the list. Authors' and compilers' names are provided, along with their current affiliations, mailing addresses, e-mail addresses, and the date of the list. A list of references in standard format is included with each list. The list may be simply a list or a publication that includes a list. The list may give further information on the distribution of the insects within the unit, for example by district, locality, wilderness area, and so on. ... [Information of the supplier]
