functions, structure and biochemistry of the insect cuticle in relation to the
moulting cycle are briefly reviewed as an introduction to the actions of
insecticides that act on the cuticle, particularly acylureas. The symptoms of
poisoning with diflubenzuron (DFB) and other acylureas are consistent with
ultra‐structural and biochemical evidence that these insecticides inhibit the
formation of chitin microfibrils in newly synthesised cuticle. It is probable
that DFB acts at a late stage in chitin biosynthesis, perhaps inhibiting chitin
synthase (CS) itself. However, the results of studies using cell‐free
preparations of CS have not, on the whole, supported this hypothesis. A number
of alternative suggestions as to the mode of action of DFB are reviewed. Among
the most attractive of these is the possibility that DFB may inhibit the
transmembrane transport of chitin synthesis precursors from their site of
production within the epidermal cells to the site of the final poly
condensation reaction, presumably at the apical membrane of the epidermal
microvilli. Copyright © 1987 John Wiley & Sons,

chapter highlights some of the recent and important findings obtained from
studies conducted on the synthesis, structure, physical state, modification,
organization, and degradation of chitin in insect tissues, as well as the
interplay of chitin with chitin-binding proteins, the regulation of genes
responsible for chitin metabolism, and, finally, the targeting of chitin
metabolism for insect-control purposes. Chitin is the major polysaccharide
present in insects and many other invertebrates as well as in several microbes,
including fungi. It serves as the skeletal polysaccharide of several animal
phyla, such as the Arthropoda, Annelida, Molluska, and Coelenterata. In several
groups of fungi, chitin replaces cellulose as the structural polysaccharide. In
insects, it is found in the body wall or cuticle, gut lining or peritrophic
matrix (PM), salivary gland, trachea, eggshells, and muscle attachment points.
In the course of evolution, insects have made excellent use of the rigidity and
chemical stability of the polymeric chitin to assemble both hard and soft
extracellular structures such as the cuticle (exoskeleton) and PM respectively,
both of which enable insects to be protected from the environment while
allowing for growth, mobility, respiration, and communication. All of these
structures are primarily composites of chitin fibers and proteins with varying
degrees of hydration and trace materials distributed along the structures. ©

nearly all adult insects fly, the cuticle has to provide a very efficient and
lightweight skeleton. Information is available about the mechanical properties
of cuticle - Young's modulus of resilin is about 1 MPa, of soft cuticles about
1kPa to 50 MPa, of sclerotised cuticles 1-20 GPa; Vicker's Hardness of
sclerotised cuticle ranges between 25 and 80kgfmm-2; density is 1-1.3 kg m-3 -
and one of its components, chitin nanofibres, the Young's modulus of which is
more than 150 GPa. Experiments based on fracture mechanics have not been
performed although the layered structure probably provides some toughening. The
structural performance of wings and legs has been measured, but our
understanding of the importance of buckling is lacking: it can stiffen the
structure (by elastic postbuckling in wings, for example) or be a failure mode.
We know nothing of fatigue properties (yet, for instance, the insect wing must
undergo millions of cycles, flexing or buckling on each cycle). The remarkable
mechanical performance and efficiency of cuticle can be analysed and compared
with those of other materials using material property charts and material
indices. Presented in this paper are four: Young's modulus - density (stiffness
per unit weight), specific Young's modulus - specific strength (elastic hinges,
elastic energy storage per unit weight), toughness - Young's modulus (fracture
resistance under various loading conditions), and hardness (wear resistance).
In conjunction with a structural analysis of cuticle these charts help to
understand the relevance of microstructure (fibre orientation effects in
tendons, joints and sense organs, for example) and shape (including surface
structure) of this fibrous composite for a given function. With modern
techniques for analysis of structure and material, and emphasis on
nanocomposites and self-assembly, insect cuticle should be the archetype for
composites at all levels of scale. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights

analysis of the two chitin synthase genes, TcCHS1 and TcCHS2, in the red flour

gene. TcCHS1-specific RNA interference (RNAi) disrupted all three types of
moult (larval-larval, larval-pupal and pupal-adult) and greatly reduced
whole-body chitin content. Exon-specific RNAi showed that splice variant 8a of
TcCHS1 was required for both the larval-pupal and pupal-adult moults, whereas
splice variant 8b was required only for the latter. TcCHS2-specific RNAi had no
effect on metamorphosis or on total body chitin content. However, RNAi-mediated
down-regulation of TcCHS2, but not TcCHS1, led to cessation of feeding, a
dramatic shrinkage in larval size and reduced chitin content in the midgut. ©

chitin synthase 1 (AqCHS1), change of AqCHS1 mRNA level in response to
diflubenzuron exposure, and concentration-dependent effect of diflubenzuron on
chitin synthesis in the common malaria mosquito (Anopheles quadrimaculatus).
The cDNA consists of 5723 nucleotides, including an open reading frame (ORF) of
4734 nucleotides that encode 1578 amino acid residues and a non-translated
region of 989 nucleotides. The deduced amino acid sequence contains all the
chitin synthase signature motifs (EDR, QRRRW and SWGTR) and shows 97% identity

quantitative PCR analyses revealed a significant increase of AqCHS1 mRNA level
in the larvae exposed to diflubenzuron at 100 and 500 μg/L. As confirmed by
real-time quantitative PCR, AqCHS1 mRNA level was enhanced by 2-fold in the
larvae exposed to diflubenzuron at 500 μg/L for 24 h. In contrast, exposures of
the larvae to diflubenzuron at 4.0, 20, 100 and 500 μg/L for 48 h resulted in
decreases of chitin content by 9.0%, 43%, 58% and 76%, respectively.
Significantly increased AqCHS1 mRNA level associated with decreased chitin
synthesis may imply possible inhibition of chitin synthase, or abnormal chitin
synthase translocation or chitin microfibril assembly conferred by
diflubenzuron. Increased AqCHS1 expression due to increased transcription
and/or increased mRNA stability may serve as a feedback mechanism to compensate
such an effect in the mosquitoes. Further studies are necessary to elucidate
the relationship between reduced chitin synthesis and increased expression of
AqCHS1 in order to shed new light on trafficking and regulation of chitin biosynthesis
in the mosquito affected by diflubenzuron. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights

is an aminopolysaccharide present in yeast cells and arthropod cuticle and is
one of the most abundant biopolymers. The conventional methods for the
quantitation of chitin content in biological samples are based on its
hydrolysis (acid or enzymatic), and the assessment of the byproduct,
glucosamine. However, previously described methodologies are time-consuming,
laborious, low throughput, and not applicable to insect samples in many cases.
Here we describe a new approach to chitin content quantitation based on
calcofluor fluorescent brightener staining of samples, followed by microplate
fluorescence readings. Calcofluor is a specific chitin stain commonly used for
topological localization of the polymer. The protocol was tested in three
important disease vector species, namely Lutzomyia longipalpis, Aedes aegypti,
and Rhodnius prolixus, and then compared to a classic colorimetric chitin
assessment method. Results show that chitin content in the tested insects can
vary largely in a range of 8–4600 micrograms of chitin per insect, depending on
species, sex, and instar. Comparisons between measurements from the previous
protocol and calcofluor method showed statistically significant differences in
some samples. However, the difference might be due to interference in the
classic method from non-chitin sources of glucosamine and reducing agents.
Furthermore, chitinase hydrolysis reduces the total chitin mass estimated
between 36 and 74%, consolidating the fluorescent measurements as actual
stained chitin in the same extent that was observed with the standard protocol.
Therefore, the calcofluor staining method revealed to be a fast and reliable
technique for chitin quantitation in homogenized insect
samples.","author":[{"dropping-particle":"","family":"Henriques","given":"Bianca

β-ecdysone. The labelled product was degraded to N-acetylglucosamine during
digestion with chitinase, establishing that it consists mainly of chitin.
Incorporation was inhibited by polyoxin-D (I506 × 10−7 M) and diflubenzuron
(I507 × 10−7 M) but was not inhibited to any marked extent by isoprothiolane,
Vetrazin or α-methyl-DOPA. The effectiveness of diflubenzuron as an inhibitor
of chitin synthesis in this system (I506 × 10−7 M) correlates well with its
potency as a larvicide (LD502 · 1 × 10−6 M), providing additional support for
the proposal that this compound kills larvae by interfering with chitin
deposition in the cuticle. Polyoxin-D was much more effective as an inhibitor
of chitin synthesis (I506 × 10−7 M) than as a larvicide (LD502 · 0 × 10−5 M).
It was established that the final intermediate of chitin biosynthesis

presence of diflubenzuron and polyoxin-D. It seems likely therefore that both
compounds interfere with the final polymerization step of the chitin
biosynthesis pathway. © 1982

Another possibility is to use the non-radioactive assay developed to measure chitin synthase activity (Lucero et al. 2002; Zhang and Yan Zhu 2013). Instead of adding an enzyme extract and chitin precursors to the reaction, one could simply add homogenized chitin containing material to the reaction to quantify its chitin content.</span></p>

Individual
<p><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">This key event is measured on the level of the individual. In order to grow and develop, arthropods need to shed their exoskeleton periodically (molting) (Heming 2018). During molting, the newly secreted cuticle is subject to mechanical stress associated and therefore needs to possess enough structural and functional integrity. The ecdysis motor program, which constitutes the behavioral part of the cuticle shedding requires the newly secreted cuticle to possess a certain strength to support for muscular force in order to shed the old cuticle (Ewer 2005). Cuticular integrity is also important after ecdysis, as insects and crustaceans expand their new cuticle by increasing internal pressure by swallowing air and water, respectively. This happens in order to expand and provide stability to the new cuticle until it is hardened (tanned) (Clarke 1957; Lee 1961; Dall et al. 1978; deFur et al. 1985). If arthropods are not able to molt properly, the organism will eventually die. Premature molting describes the unsuccessful molting where the organism is not able to shed the old cuticle, but also other effects related to molting in an immature stage where the new cuticle is not mature enough for the molt, such as rupture of the new cuticle and associated desiccation, deformities, higher susceptibility to pathogens or impaired locomotion. Specific effects observed are animals stuck in their exuviae (Wang et al., 2019), and if molting can be completed despite an immature cuticle, animals might be smaller and die at subsequent molts (Arakawa et al., 2008; Chen et al., 2008; Mohammed et al., 2017).</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Premature molting can be determined by observation. No standardized tests for the endpoint of molting exist to date. However, during an OECD 202 <em>Daphnia</em> sp. Acute immobilization test (OECD 2004), the cumulative number of molts can be assessed as an additional endpoint. Molting can also be assessed during a OECD 211 <em>Daphnia</em> sp.

possible role of the insect stomatogastric nervous system (STNS) in ecdysis was
first implied in early studies reporting on internal air pressure build-up in
the digestive tract and air swallowing during ecdysis. The frontal ganglion, a
major component of the insect STNS, was suggested to play an important part in
this behaviour. Recent neurophysiological studies have confirmed the critical
role of the STNS in the successful completion of both larval and adult moults
in insects. In aquatic arthropods, though much less studied, the STNS plays an
equally important and probably very similar role in water swallowing. Water
uptake is instrumental in splitting the crustacean cuticle and allowing
successful ecdysis. Current data are presented in a comparative view that
contributes to our understanding of the role of the STNS in arthropod
behaviour. It also sheds light on the question of homology of the STNS among
the different arthropod groups. New insights into the neurohormonal control of
ecdysis, related to the STNS in both insects and crustaceans, are also
presented and comparatively
discussed.","author":[{"dropping-particle":"","family":"Ayali","given":"Amir","non-dropping-particle":"","parse-names":false,"suffix":""}],"container-title":"Journal

nearly all adult insects fly, the cuticle has to provide a very efficient and
lightweight skeleton. Information is available about the mechanical properties
of cuticle - Young's modulus of resilin is about 1 MPa, of soft cuticles about
1kPa to 50 MPa, of sclerotised cuticles 1-20 GPa; Vicker's Hardness of
sclerotised cuticle ranges between 25 and 80kgfmm-2; density is 1-1.3 kg m-3 -
and one of its components, chitin nanofibres, the Young's modulus of which is
more than 150 GPa. Experiments based on fracture mechanics have not been
performed although the layered structure probably provides some toughening. The
structural performance of wings and legs has been measured, but our
understanding of the importance of buckling is lacking: it can stiffen the
structure (by elastic postbuckling in wings, for example) or be a failure mode.
We know nothing of fatigue properties (yet, for instance, the insect wing must
undergo millions of cycles, flexing or buckling on each cycle). The remarkable mechanical
performance and efficiency of cuticle can be analysed and compared with those
of other materials using material property charts and material indices.
Presented in this paper are four: Young's modulus - density (stiffness per unit
weight), specific Young's modulus - specific strength (elastic hinges, elastic
energy storage per unit weight), toughness - Young's modulus (fracture
resistance under various loading conditions), and hardness (wear resistance).
In conjunction with a structural analysis of cuticle these charts help to
understand the relevance of microstructure (fibre orientation effects in
tendons, joints and sense organs, for example) and shape (including surface
structure) of this fibrous composite for a given function. With modern techniques
for analysis of structure and material, and emphasis on nanocomposites and
self-assembly, insect cuticle should be the archetype for composites at all
levels of scale. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights

ingestion at ecdysis by the western rock lobster. Panulirus longipes (Milne
Edwards) was investigated using the reference markers 51Cr-EDTA and 58Co-EDTA.
Two possible mechanisms controlling water absorption were examined: first,
changes in osmolarity of blood and muscle and secondly, the effects of extracts
of central nervous system. Water ingestion was 16.071 ± 2.365 ml kg-1 h-1
during swelling just before ecdysis (stage D4(S)) and 23.099 ± 1.238 ml kg-1
h-1 during stage A. There was no significant absorption in the foregut or
hindgut and the digestive gland appeared to be the site of major absorption.
Total water ingested during stages D4(S) and A was 13.7% of the proecdysis
weight. Calculating total water uptake by wet weight differences plus wet weight
of exuviae gave a value that was too high and instead weight increases were
calculated from a carapace length-weight formula. Allowing for postecdysis
increase in weight the net increase at ecdysis was 18.4-21.4% which was
4.7-7.7% more than the water ingested. It was concluded from this that water
enters the body at ecdysis both by ingestion and by absorption through the
external surface. It is suggested that water ingestion provides the main source
of swelling of the cephalothorax in stage D4(S) and after ecdysis both ingested
water and external absorption enables the flaccid abdomen and appendages to
swell rapidly. Statistically significant differences were found in the
concentrations of total cations and chloride in leg muscle during the
transition from stage C4 to late D4 but the trends were not consistent and
probably have no functional significance. There were no changes in the
concentration of osmotically active organic constituents. The freezing-point
depression of the blood in stage D4 was significantly higher than that in stage
C4(P < 0.02) but the mean difference was only 1.8%. It was concluded that
osmoticchanges were unlikely to be an important mechanism of water uptake.
Water-soluble extract (WSE) and acetone-soluble extract (ASE) of brains and
first ventral ganglia were without significant effect when compared together
with controls. There was a barely significant decrease, however, in water in
the proventriculus of WSE-treated animals compared with that of controls (P
< 0.05). and further investigation on the effects of such extracts on water
uptake at ecdysis is warranted. ©

methods of estimating insect blood volume are discussed. A method based on
haemocyte counts before and after injection of a measured volume of saline is
shown to be invalid, whereas a method based on the dilution of amaranth dye by
the haemolymph gave repeatable and consistent results. The blood volume of
Schistocerca gregaria Forsk. rises during the latter half of an instar, and
attains its highest level just prior to ecdysis. This high blood volume is
maintained for about 24 hr after ecdysis, then falls sharply to a mid-instar or
adult value, which is constant under the conditions described herein. The
increase in blood volume is shown to be due partly to changes in the
distribution of water within the body, and not merely to an intake of water
from the exterior. During periods of dietary water deficiency, the blood of the
desert locust can act as a reserve of water for other tissue requirements. ©

chapter highlights some of the recent and important findings obtained from
studies conducted on the synthesis, structure, physical state, modification,
organization, and degradation of chitin in insect tissues, as well as the
interplay of chitin with chitin-binding proteins, the regulation of genes
responsible for chitin metabolism, and, finally, the targeting of chitin metabolism
for insect-control purposes. Chitin is the major polysaccharide present in
insects and many other invertebrates as well as in several microbes, including
fungi. It serves as the skeletal polysaccharide of several animal phyla, such
as the Arthropoda, Annelida, Molluska, and Coelenterata. In several groups of
fungi, chitin replaces cellulose as the structural polysaccharide. In insects,
it is found in the body wall or cuticle, gut lining or peritrophic matrix (PM),
salivary gland, trachea, eggshells, and muscle attachment points. In the course
of evolution, insects have made excellent use of the rigidity and chemical
stability of the polymeric chitin to assemble both hard and soft extracellular
structures such as the cuticle (exoskeleton) and PM respectively, both of which
enable insects to be protected from the environment while allowing for growth,
mobility, respiration, and communication. All of these structures are primarily
composites of chitin fibers and proteins with varying degrees of hydration and trace
materials distributed along the structures. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights

If the chitin content is too low, the cuticle may not possess enough integrity to support muscular function or withstand the beforementioned stresses of ecdysis, which leads to the organism being stuck in the old cuticle or the rupture of the new cuticle.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px">The ecdysis motor program, the behavioral part of ecdysis, constitutes a distinct motor pattern to split and shed the old cuticle (Ayali 2009). As the cuticle supports muscular function (Vincent and Wegst 2004), it needs to possess a certain integrity in order to successfully molt. The integrity of the cuticle is also important after ecdysis as arthropods, such as insects and crustaceans, expand the new cuticle by swallowing air or water in order to build up pressure to expand the new exoskeleton and provide stability to the soft new cuticle (Clarke 1957; Lee 1961; Dall et al. 1978; deFur et al. 1985). The arthropod cuticle mostly consists of chitin embedded in and crosslinked with a matrix of proteins (Muthukrishnan et al. 2012). Given the well biological understanding of the processes, the biological plausibility can be regarded as high.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px">The cuticular chitin content was characterized <em>in vivo</em> in <em>Artemia salina </em>or using cultured integumental tissue from lepidopteran and dipteran insect species after exposure to polyoxin D and nikkomycin Z as well as the phthalimides captan, captafol, and folpet (Gijswijt et al. 1979; Turnbull and Howells 1982; Calcott and Fatig 1984; Gelman and Borkovec 1986; Zhuo et al. 2014). The event of premature molting was not assessed as endpoint in studies involving specific stressors rather than mentioned after exposure to polyoxin D, polyoxin B and nikkomycin Z (Gijswijt et al. 1979; Tellam et al. 2000; Arakawa et al. 2008). However, results from studies where CHS-1 was knocked down by RNA interference support temporal concordance of the KER (Arakane et al. 2005, Li et al. 2017, Zhang X. et al. 2010). Given the support for temporal concordance and the lack of studies showing dose concordance, the empirical evidence for this KER was judged as moderate.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px">The absence of studies (quantitatively) assessing premature molting constitutes a major data gap. A further data gap is the absence of studies which assess both, the decrease in cuticular chitin content and the increase in premature molting.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px">During molting, arthropods pause food uptake and in certain cases also respiration (Camp et al. 2014; Song et al. 2017a). If molting is disrupted and the organism is not able to shed the old exoskeleton, the organism may eventually die of starvation, suffocation or the rupture of the exoskeleton.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px">In order to grow and develop, arthropods need to molt periodically (Heming 2018). Since molting is a determining point in arthropod development, the disruption of molting leads to increased mortality (Arakawa et al. 2008; Merzendorfer et al. 2012; Song et al. 2017a; Song et al. 2017b). During ecdysis, arthropods pause food intake and respiration (Camp et al. 2014; Song et al. 2017a). Therefore, if the molt cannot be completed, the organism may die of starvation or suffocation. Additionally, if the cuticle is immature, it may not withstand the stresses associated with ecdysis (Clarke 1957; Lee 1961; Dall et al. 1978; deFur et al. 1985), and the organism may die of desiccation or increased susceptibility to pathogens. Given the well understood biological processes, the biological plausibility of this KER was rated as high.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px">The event of premature molting is not well characterized. It gets mentioned as cause of death in studies with <em>Pieris brassicae, Spodoptera litura</em>, <em>Bombyx mori </em>and <em>Lucilia cuprina </em>after treatment with polyoxin D, polyoxin B, polyoxin AL (a mixture of polyoxins) and nikkomycin Z (Gijswijt et al. 1979; Tellam et al. 2000; Arakawa et al. 2008). The increase in mortality was reported in studies with <em>Lucilia cuprina</em>,<em> Spodoptera litura</em> and <em>Bombyx mori </em>(Tellam et al. 2000; Tellam and Eisemann 2000; Arakawa et al. 2008). Evidence from studies which assess and link both endpoints, and therefore would support dose concordance, is lacking. However, results from studies where CHS-1 was knocked down by RNA interference support temporal concordance of the KER (Arakane et al. 2005, Li et al. 2017, <span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Chen et al., 2008; Mohammed et al., 2017; Shang et al., 2016; Wang et al., 2012, 2019; Yang et al., 2013; Ye et al., 2019; Zhai et al., 2017; Zhang et al., 2010</span>). Given the support for temporal concordance and the lack of studies showing dose concordance, the empirical evidence for this KER was judged as moderate.</span></p>
