Abstract Spider mites and thrips are major agricultural pests worldwide. Despite their well-documented impact on crop yields in South-East Asia, their species composition, distribution, and pesticide susceptibility remain poorly studied in the region. This study focused on the Red River Delta region of Vietnam. Multiple populations of spider mites and thrips were collected and subjected to phylogenetic analysis for reliable species identification. For the first time, Tetranyc

Abstract Spider mites are significant agricultural pests in apple orchards, where their control relies heavily on acaricide applications. In this study, seven populations of Tetranychus turkestani were collected from apple orchards in Isfahan Province, Iran, to evaluate their susceptibility to hexythiazox and etoxazole. Probit analysis revealed significant resistance to hexythiazox in T. turkestani populations, with resistance ratios (RRs) ranging from 290- to 2550-fold, w

Abstract The CncC/Keap1 signalling pathway regulates antioxidant and detoxification gene expression in arthropods and is frequently associated with metabolic insecticide resistance. This review critically assesses evidence for its role in resistance phenotypes across key pest species. Although overactivation of CncC/Keap1 correlates with increased detoxification enzyme expression and pesticide tolerance, causal mutations in the coding or regulatory regions of CncC , Keap1 , o
