Arthropods as potential vectors of African swine fever virus outbreaks in pig farms in the Republic of Korea

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2021
The seasonality of African swine fever (ASF) in the summers and outbreaks in farms with high biosecurity levels suggest that the ASF virus (ASFV) may be transmitted by arthropod vectors.

Host-location by arthropod vectors: Are microorganisms in control?

Current Opinion in Insect Science
Vector-borne microorganisms are dependent on their arthropod vector for their transmission to and from vertebrates. The 'parasite manipulation hypothesis', states that microorganisms are likely to evolve manipulations of such interactions for their own ...

Present and future potential of plant-derived products to control arthropods of veterinary and medical significance [PDF]

, 2014
The use of synthetic pesticides and repellents to target pests of veterinary and medical significance is becoming increasingly problematic. One alternative approach employs the bioactive attributes of plant-derived products (PDPs). These are particularly

Habitat structure: a fundamental concept and framework for urban soil ecology [PDF]

, 2007
Habitat structure is defined as the composition and arrangement of physical matter at a location. Although habitat structure is the physical template underlying ecological patterns and processes, the concept is relatively unappreciated and underdeveloped

Arthropod microbiota: shaping pathogen establishment and enabling control

Frontiers in Arachnid Science, 2023
Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) pose significant global health threats. The microbiota of arthropod vectors influences their fitness and pathogen acquisition and/or transmission. Here, we review the intricate interplay among the arthropod immune system, the
