Source or sink: The role of plant litter as an environmental reservoir for plant pathogens

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 9, September 2026.
This modelling study clarifies when litter acts as a plant pathogen source, increasing disease spread, versus when it acts as a pathogen sink, hindering spread. When pathogens can survive and reproduce in litter, pathways in gold [(b), (c) and (f)] become possible.

A Risk‐Based Framework for Ranking Microbiological Hazards and Identifying Mitigation Strategies for Dried Fruits, Vegetables, Herbs, and Spices Used in Ready‐to‐Eat Foods

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Low water activity ingredients, including dried fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices, are widely used in ready‐to‐eat (RTE) and non‐RTE foods. Although low water activity limits microbial growth, bacterial pathogens can survive for extended periods in these products.

Personalization and Fortification of In‐Space Manufactured Emulsified Beverages for Long‐Term Space Travel

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The current trend of individualized food items (nutrient content and flavor) can be particularly valuable to support people's health and well‐being in isolated environments where access to fresh foods and diverse nutrition is difficult. At the same time, bioactive compounds and micronutrients can be employed to countermeasure any health ...

Bacteriophages Control Epiphytic Pseudomonas syringae Populations in Highbush Blueberry Leaves

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2026.
The Pseudomonas syringae complex (Psc) is a group of globally distributed phytopathogens responsible for substantial agricultural losses. Here, we established a framework for the systematic identification and evaluation of bacteriophages targeting Psc strains isolated from highbush blueberries and identified candidate phages capable of suppressing ...

The Mutable Original: How Chinese Counterfeits Become Nigerian Originals in African Markets

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 581-594, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Affordable Chinese copies of Western brands are ubiquitous in African markets. Despite democratizing consumer access, these goods appear to cement hegemonic value hierarchies that rank Chinese or local products as inferior to Western goods.
