Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We warmly invite you to contribute high-quality manuscripts on insect pest and vector management to this Special Issue titled “The 15th Anniversary of Insects—Advances in Insect Pest and Vector Management”. This Special Issue will be published in celebration of the 15th anniversary of Insects, and all accepted papers will be included in a commemorative book.
We welcome submissions focused on the development of tools and methodologies for the management of arthropod pests, including vectors of pathogens. Studies addressing pest management across various crops and commodities are encouraged, including those related to agriculture, forestry, urban environments, stored products, and pests of medical or veterinary importance. Mechanistic studies that clarify innovative interventions or investigate interactions between pests and the environment are also highly encouraged.
Prof. Dr. Yulin Gao
