The Asian needle ant, Brachyponera chinensis, is an invasive ant currently spreading in urban and natural habitats throughout the eastern United States. Recent studies have documented the negative impact of B. chinensis on native ecosystems and human health, yet effective control strategies are lacking. Control difficulties are, in part, due to the unique biology of B. chinensis, which is a predatory ant and a termite specialist. Given that subterranean termites are an important nutritional resource for B. chinensis, the current study evaluated the potential of termite cuticular extract to improve the target-specificity and efficacy of commercial bait used for B. chinensis control.

白蚁角质层提取物提高了对控制入侵性亚洲针蚁（Brachyponera chinensis）的饵料的接受度

亚洲针蚁（Brachyponera chinensis）是一种入侵蚂蚁，目前在美国东部的城市和自然栖息地传播。最近的研究记录了中华白僵菌对当地生态系统和人类健康的负面影响，但缺乏有效的控制策略。控制困难部分是由于中华白蚁的独特生物学特性造成的，它是一种掠食性蚂蚁，也是白蚁专家。鉴于地下白蚁是白蚁的重要营养资源，本研究评估了白蚁角质层提取物在提高用于控制白蚁的商业诱饵的目标特异性和功效方面的潜力。
