Garlic‐Derived Behavioural Deterrents: Diallyl Disulfide and TrpA1‐Mediated Suppression of Insect Reproduction

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 2, December 2026.
Garlic‐derived diallyl disulfide acts as a behavioural deterrent that suppresses insect mating and oviposition through sensory pathways. The compound is detected through gustatory mechanisms involving the transient receptor potential A1 (TrpA1) channel and neural responses.

Survey of Smallholder Dairy Cattle Farming System and Antibiotic Residues in Raw Cow's Milk in Bagamoyo District, Tanzania

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Smallholder dairy farmers in Tanzania face livestock disease challenges that drive imprudent antimicrobial use and fuel antimicrobial resistance (AMR). In Bagamoyo, poor husbandry and limited disease control result in high prevalence of vector‐borne infections, commonly treated with oxytetracycline (OTC).
