Learned lots about insects, microbiota, diet and pathogens thanks to Insect Doctors PhDs from WP3 Loretta Mugo Carlotta Savio Jennifer Kate, Anna Slowik, Alessandro Roman. Fascinating work!

Today, Luis and FangShiang Lim from the insectdoctors project have shared with the students their work on high throughput sequencing for virus detection and discovery in mass-reared insects.

It was a pleasure speaking about #probiotics, #prebiotics and #postbiotics for mantaining mass reared #insects health at Beneficial Microbes Conference 🧫👩🏼‍🔬🔬

Here is a brief update discussing virus discovery in insects reared for mass production; from expanding our knowledge of the medfly RNA virome, to identifying previously undetected viruses in mass reared insects 🦠🪰insectdoctors.eu/en/insectdocto…

Beaucoup des exchanges sur la thematique de l’entomoconversion au #Salondelagriculture #insect4city Tres ravi d’avoir eu la chance de participer #SIA2023 insectdoctors

Next week GET THE BUG, my podcast, will be ON LINE! What if Insects are the Next Game Changers? Feat.:Jeff Tomberlin, @DickeMarcel, Arnold van Huis, Karol Barragán🍃, Dennis Oonincx, Shaphan Y. Chia, Teun Veldkamp… On Spotify, Apple Podcast, You Tube… gtbpodcast.com

insectdoctors students are out of the lab this week end! 🦋🐛🪲🪰🐝🦟 A walk about and light trapping with Carlos Lopez-Vaamonde at La Commanderie De Ballan let them brush up with insect biodiversity.

See this little update from Carlotta Savio discussing how the final few months of her PhD journey is going🪲🔬rb.gy/f7ox1 #probiotics #tenebrio #insects #foodandfeed

Another exciting session discussing the importance of microbiota for insect health and in mass rearing. See published work by Loretta Mugo Jennifer Kate and Carlotta Savio on Bugs in Bugs, discussing pro- and pre-biotics in insect rearing research.wur.nl/en/publication…

@pascalherren from the insectdoctors programme leads on this informative review discussing how environmental conditions affect host-parasite interactions in mass-reared insects and how to optimise conditions to lower the risks caused by parasites. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S14…

Highlighting the insectdoctors program and the impactful outcomes during the #sip2023 business meeting. Great to have seen so many updates during the meeting

Ever wished you could measure EPF growth quickly? Find out how in insectdoctors ESR Anna Ruth Slowik just published 'A Rapid Method for Measuring In Vitro Growth in Entomopathogenic Fungi' mdpi.com/2432524 #mdpiinsects via Insects MDPI

Today, we are having the last network meeting for the insectdoctors programme. A mix of excitement to see all the ESRs work, and sad that this amazing programme is drawing toward an end. But lots more publications and outputs to come, so keep watching our account!

Effects of feed and probiotic bacteria on Tenebrio molitor performance and entomopathogen susceptibility presented by Carlotta Savio Probiotic provision could be applied as preventive treatment to reduce occurrence of insect diseases in the rearing systems insectdoctors

📢*Just published* manuscript from insectdoctors ESRs @pascalherren Carlotta Savio on Effect of CO2 Concentrations on Entomopathogen Fitness and Insect-Pathogen Interactions. Fascinating interactions! rdcu.be/dwKW6

Hurry up! Final chance for PhDs to apply for the 2-year post-doctoral fellowship ApogeeBio Program (EU H2020 R&I program) at the #Ynsect R&D Center, a world leader in insect farming and pioneer in cuttingedge research and innovation. Contact [email protected] for more!

“Minor impact of probiotic bacteria and egg white on Tenebrio molitor performances, microbial composition and pathogens susceptibility” is now available online 👀 insectdoctors frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… It was a pleasure to collaborate with @pascalherren and all the co-authors.

“Bacillus thuringiensis serovar morrisoni biovar tenebrionis impact and persistence in Tenebrio molitor larvae” is now available #openaccess in Insects as Food&Feed Thanks to all the co-authors and to insectdoctors for the great PhD experience brill.com/view/journals/…

Thanks to Rosemarie Tedeschi, Valentina Candian and Carlotta Savio for the fantastic welcome we received in Grugliasco for the annual meetings of the #InProFarm_PRIN and #HeMiTool_PRIN projects! Elisa Bigarella Gabriele Brenna Costanza Jucker Dorra Hentati Elena Sara Crotti
