A model to test how ticks and louping ill virus can be controlled by treating red grouse with acaricide

open access: yes, 2013
Ticks are the most important vectors of disease-causing pathogens in Europe. In the U.K., Ixodes ricinus L. (Ixodida: Ixodidae) transmits louping ill virus (LIV; Flaviviridae), which kills livestock and red grouse, Lagopus lagopus scoticus Lath ...

Emergence of multi-acaricide resistant Rhipicephalus ticks and its implication on chemical tick control in Uganda [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
application/pdfBackground: Acaricide failure has been on the rise in the western and central cattle corridor of Uganda. In this study, we identified the tick species associated with acaricide failure and determined their susceptibility to various ...

Identification of broadly expressed nervous system‐related genes as effective RNAi targets in the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9870-9878, October 2026.
Broadly expressed genes outperformed brain‐enriched neural targets as RNAi candidates in Halyomorpha halys. Microinjection of dsRNA targeting alpha‐soluble NSF attachment protein (Asnap) or Ras opposite protein (Rop) caused strong feeding suppression and near‐complete mortality, identifying them as promising targets for future oral or spray‐based RNAi ...

Revisiting the Association of Pesticide Exposure and Parkinson's Disease: Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 10, Page 875-888, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The association between pesticide exposure and Parkinson's disease (PD) is substantial, but heterogeneity in methodology and lack of categorization according to the type of exposure and pesticide classes in previous meta‐analyses impair the interpretation of data. This study aims to update evidence of the association between pesticide exposure

Reasoned opinion on the review of the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for pirimiphos-methyl according to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 [PDF]

open access: yesEFSA Journal, 2015
According to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has reviewed the Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) currently established at European level for the pesticide active substance pirimiphos-methyl.

Nutritional composition of pollen stores in managed bees across European agro‐ecosystems reveals species‐specific differences but limited pesticide effects

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 853-865, October 2026.
In the pollen stores of three bee species deployed across 128 European sites, bumble bees harboured lower lipid content and higher protein‐to‐lipid ratios than honey bees and mason bees. Toxicity‐weighted pesticide risk did not alter protein‐to‐lipid ratios, but higher risk was associated with reduced protein and lipid content in the pollen stores of ...

The Roles of Contrasting Host Types on the Environmental Abundance of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, an Emerging Zoonotic Pathogen

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
In this study, we analysed data collected at 40 sites in the Northwest of Scotland (from 2018 to 2020) to quantify the relative contributions of hypothesised pathogen transmission hosts (deer and sheep) and non‐transmission hosts (birds and rodents) on the environmental abundance of ecotypes I and II of Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Our results add to our

Acaricide Resistance Mechanisms in Rhipicephalus microplus

open access: yes, 2012
Acaricide resistance has become widespread in countries where cattle ticks, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, are a problem. Resistance arises through genetic changes in a cattle tick population that causes modifications to the target site, increased ...
