Novel compositions and process for inhibiting digestion in blood-sucking insects

1991

Borovsky, D. | Carlson, D.A.

The subject invention concerns three novel peptides which have the property of interfering with the biosynthesis of the enzyme trypsin in an insect gut. This property enables the use of these peptides to inhibit the formation of progeny in blood-ingesting insects, since trypsin is an essential enzyme for food digestion which provides the essential building blocks for egg development in such insects.
