Developing Next Generation Insecticides

Summary

Researchers at Purdue University have developed a method for targeting G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) mediated processes that are essential for the growth, development, and survival of mosquitoes, ticks, and other invertebrates. This method allows for the identification of novel, small molecules that could be used to develop new insecticides and acaricides to control these populations and minimize cost and suffering.
