  • Method for Controlling Hematophagous or Sap-Feeding Arthropods
    Publication number: 20230276802
    Abstract: Modulation of inward potassium ion conductance with structurally diverse small-molecules in the arthropod salivary gland induces arthropod salivary gland failure that results in a reduction or elimination in the ability of the arthropod to feed. Administering Kir channel inhibitors reduces food intake, increases feeding time, reduces salivary gland secretion, induces mortality, and reduces transmission of vector-borne pathogens. Kir channel inhibitors induce these adverse effects in ticks, mosquitoes, horn flies, and aphids.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 20, 2023
    Publication date: September 7, 2023
    Applicant: Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State Universtiy and Agricultural and Mechanical College
    Inventors: Daniel R. Swale, Lane D. Foil
