An RNA interference biopesticide reduces reproduction of the honey bee parasite Varroa destructor by down‐regulating embryo development pathways

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2694-2707, March 2026.
Varroa destructor mites exposed to dsRNA specific in sequence to a V. destructor calmodulin gene significantly effected gene expression of adult female mites sampled 5 days after entering a honey bee brood cell to reproduce. Significantly down‐regulated genes included Calmodulin and were associated with calcium ion binding and embryo developmental ...

Langat Virus Biology and Infection

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Flaviviruses pose a major threat to global health and can cause severe disease in animals and humans. Among them, tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) and related members of the tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE) serocomplex are transmitted primarily by ticks and can lead to neurological disease, including encephalitis and death. Despite many years

Assessing the Impact of Agrivoltaic Systems on Pasture Plant and Soil Microarthropod Communities

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Agrivoltaic systems (AVS) integrate renewable energy production with agricultural use, creating novel microclimatic gradients that can affect ecosystem structure and function. However, the ecological consequences of these gradients on vegetation composition and soil biological quality remain poorly understood, particularly in pasture‐based AVS

Molecular and Serological Detection of Coxiella burnetii in Small Ruminants in Northeastern Brazil

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
• Serology indicates that one‐third of the sheep and goats had previously been infected with Coxiella burnetii. • qPCR analysis revealed the ongoing presence of C. burnetii in all evaluated flocks, each with a previous history of reproductive disorders. • These results indicate the need for preventive measures and control of C.

The Role of Companion Animals as ‘Sentinels’ From the One Health Perspective

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
One Health emphasizes the interconnection of human, animal and environmental health. As emotional extensions of humans, companion dogs and cats can serve as sentinels, detecting hazards that can help protect human health from the One Health perspective. When symptoms appear in pets, owners should notice the changes that may pose risks to both human and
