News – Termite Pheremone – ã‚·ãƒã‚¢ãƒªã€€ãƒ•ã‚§ãƒãƒ¢ãƒ³
I thought it might be interesting to post some news articles and key words for a while.

ã‚·ãƒã‚¢ãƒª : 女王ã¯æžœç‰©ã®é¦™ã‚Šã€€ãƒ•ã‚§ãƒãƒ¢ãƒ³ç‰¹å®šã€é§†é™¤å¿œç”¨ã‚‚
ã‚·ãƒã‚¢ãƒª, 白蟻 – ã—ã‚ã‚ã‚Š – termite
果物ã®é¦™ã‚Š – ãã ã‚‚ã®ã®ã‹ãŠã‚Š – fruit scented, smelling like fruit
フェãƒãƒ¢ãƒ³ – ãµã‡ã‚ã‚‚ã‚“ – pheromone
特定 – ã¨ãã¦ã„ – identify (in this case)
駆除 – ãã˜ã‚‡ – exterminate, extermination
応用 – ãŠã†ã‚ˆã† – practical application
So in this case, I would translate the sentence like so:
ã‚·ãƒã‚¢ãƒª : 女王ã¯æžœç‰©ã®é¦™ã‚Šã€€ãƒ•ã‚§ãƒãƒ¢ãƒ³ç‰¹å®šã€é§†é™¤å¿œç”¨ã‚‚

Termites: a fruit scented queen pheromone has been identified, with application for pest control
By the way, this was discovered by researchers at Okayama University (å²¡å±±å¤§å¦ – ãŠã‹ã‚„ã¾ã ã„ãŒã), national university in Okayama prefecture (岡山県 – ãŠã‹ã‚„ã¾ã‘ã‚“), in the Chugoku region (ä¸å›½åœ°æ–¹ – ã¡ã‚…ã†ã”ãã¡ã»ã†) of Japan.
