Mosquito feeding patterns in the context of West Nile and eastern equine encephalitis viruses in eastern Ontario, Canada

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 634-646, September 2026.
Mosquitoes in Eastern Ontario, Canada, readily fed on bloodmeal hosts consistent with patterns observed in other regions of North America. Enzootic and bridge vector mosquitoes fed on amplification hosts like American Robins (Turdus migratorius) together with humans, highlighting a potential route for WNV and EEEV transmission to human populations.

Effect of blood meals and mating on biodemographic characteristics of Aedes albopictus

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 446-459, September 2026.
Lifespan did not differ between virgin and mated males and females. The number of blood meals (one and two) significantly reduced adult lifespan compared with those with no blood meal. The effect of the second blood meal doubled females' egg production and their reproductive output.

Arbovirus Epidemics as Global Health Imperative, Africa, 2023

Emerging Infectious Diseases
Arboviruses represent a major cause of illness in Africa and have the potential to trigger widespread epidemics. We present data on arbovirus epidemics in Africa in 2023 and demonstrate the need for global public health authorities to intensify efforts ...

Mitogenomics of Culex pipiens Form Pipiens From the Turkish Black Sea Region Reveals Structural Conservation and Phylogenetic Complexity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Complete mitochondrial genomes of five Turkish Culex pipiens form pipiens isolates from the Black Sea region revealed highly conserved mitogenome architecture. Expanded comparisons across the broader Cx. pipiens complex showed that mitochondrial diversity was concentrated in selected loci and terminal regions associated with the A + T‐rich control ...

Association Between Chikungunya Infection and Rheumatoid Arthritis in Taiwan—A Cross‐Sectional Study

International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection might cause chronic chikungunya arthritis resembling rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential role of this virus in the pathogenesis of RA in Taiwan, a non‐endemic area. Methods This cross‐sectional study enrolled 98 RA patients and 200 healthy controls.

A Baseline Checklist of Mosquito Species (Diptera: Culicidae) From Tasmania, Australia, and Implications for Public Health Arbovirus Surveillance and Biosecurity

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are of major public health importance due to their role as vectors of mosquito‐borne pathogens and the impact of nuisance biting. Accurate geographical knowledge of mosquito fauna is the foundation of effective arbovirus surveillance and biosecurity.

Interactions Between Inbreeding, Fitness and the Bacterial Microbiome in Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Laboratory and field populations of insects can experience a decline in fitness and loss of genetic diversity due to inbreeding depression and genetic drift, respectively. Matings among related individuals and small population size may also influence insect host microbiomes with consequences for fitness.

Aedes albopictus and Dengue Transmission Risk in France Over the 21st Century

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
We assessed the impacts of climate change on the range expansion of Ae. albopictus and the risk of dengue transmission in France by 2085. Most of the French territory will be suitable to host this vector, while more than half of the territory will be suitable for dengue transmission.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Protection of fundamental human rights by improving patient access to plasma‐derived therapies and donor health protection

Vox Sanguinis, Volume 121, Issue 8, Page 1103-1109, August 2026.
Abstract Background and Objectives The main use of plasma has evolved into market‐driven plasma‐derived medicinal products (PDMPs), but it still requires donors. Availability of PDMPs in access to care is often considered restrictively, in terms of volumes of plasma required for production and whether or not to remunerate donors.
