The Role of Hematophagous Arthropods, Other than Mosquitoes and Ticks, in Arbovirus Transmission
VirusesArthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) significantly impact human, domestic animal, and wildlife health. While most arboviruses are transmitted to vertebrate hosts by blood-feeding mosquitoes and ticks, a growing body of evidence highlights the importance

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...
